Questions, answered

Most couples commission us nine to eighteen months before the date. We accept a limited number of weddings each season and summer Saturdays go first. If your date is closer than that, write anyway. Calendars have gaps and elopements are nimble.

Yes. Flights and stays anywhere in Europe are arranged by the atelier and quoted transparently in one number before you sign. No mileage tables, no surprise invoices afterwards.

A cinematic preview of selected frames reaches you within 48 hours of the wedding. The complete hand edited archive follows within six weeks. Artebooks are designed, proofed with you, and delivered within three months.

It depends on the edition and the day, but never fewer than 400 hand edited photographs for a full wedding, and usually well over 800 with two photographers. We edit by story, not by quota, and we never pad an archive.

Very little. We direct when direction helps, ten minutes of portraits at the right light, and we disappear for the rest. The archive should look like your wedding felt, not like a catalogue shoot that interrupted it.

A fine art album pressed on cotton paper, bound by hand, made to outlive its owners. We design every spread, you approve every page, and nothing leaves the atelier until it is worth keeping forever.

Yes. Edition II and Edition III include a cinematic film cut from the day's real sound and rhythm. Films are delivered alongside the photographic archive.

Every frame is delivered in its intended grade, and the frames that live best in black and white are delivered both ways. You never lose a version you love.

You receive a full personal printing licence for every delivered photograph. Print them, gift them, enlarge them. The atelier keeps authorship and a copy of your archive in cold storage, so a lost drive never means a lost wedding.

Yes. The atelier follows its couples anywhere, from Adriatic coastlines to northern capitals. Distance is a logistics question we fold into one clear number, never an obstacle.

It has not happened yet, and there is a plan for it anyway. The atelier maintains a small circle of trusted colleagues who shoot in a compatible style, and your coverage is guaranteed in the contract.

Write through the commission sheet or directly by email. We answer within one working day, hold your date for two weeks while we talk, and confirm it with a signed agreement and a retainer.

Established studios in Italy quote between 2 500 and 7 500 euros for a full day, and the luxury tier, teams, film and hand made albums, runs from about 8 000 to 20 000 euros and beyond. Our commissions begin at 6 500 euros for The Reportage, The Edition with two photographers, film and artebook begins at 12 000 euros, and travel is always quoted inside the same single number.

Yes, and they are the two coasts the atelier is built around. Each has its own field notes on our destinations pages, from villa moorings on Como to the staircase arithmetic of Positano. Dates in June and September go first in both places.

Yes, from Monaco salons to Saint-Tropez beach clubs, with Cap Ferrat and Antibes in between. Riviera weddings often ask for extra discretion, and we are comfortable working under non disclosure, with guest privacy protocols and outside our public portfolio.

Where the law and the venue allow it, yes, and The Archive edition includes aerial work as standard. Some of the most beautiful places we work restrict flying, parts of Lake Como, all of Venice, so we always tell you honestly what is possible before promising a frame.

Yes. Some couples want their wedding seen, some want it kept. We regularly work under non disclosure agreements, exclude weddings from our portfolio and press, and deliver archives that exist for two people only. Privacy never reduces the quality of the work, it is simply a different promise.

Both. An engagement session is included with The Edition, and proposals are quiet commissions we plan like small heists, the ring, the terrace, the accomplice waiter. Ask early, the best proposal spots book like wedding venues.
