I started photographing weddings in the Dolomites twelve years ago, after a decade working as an editorial photographer for outdoor and travel publications. That background shaped how I work: I read light and terrain the way a mountain guide reads weather, and I plan every celebration around the hour the valley turns gold.
Since then I've documented more than 240 weddings, elopements and proposals across every season — from July sunrise ceremonies at Lago di Braies to intimate January vow exchanges in the snow above Val di Funes. Each one taught me something about how a landscape this dramatic can hold a quiet, personal moment without overwhelming it.
My approach is editorial rather than staged: I direct enough to protect the light and the timeline, then step back. The mountains do the rest.
The technical side matters more here than in a hotel ballroom. Altitude changes exposure faster than most couples expect, cable cars run to a schedule that doesn't wait for a first look, and a storm rolling in over the Odle group can end a session in twenty minutes. I carry backup bodies, weather-sealed glass and a second card in every slot, but the real preparation happens weeks earlier — scouting the exact ridge, checking the season's sunset azimuth, and building a timeline with enough slack that a delayed cable car doesn't cost you the light.
I still shoot every wedding myself. No handoff to an associate you've never met, no second brand behind the one you booked — the person who answers your first email is the person standing next to you on the mountain.
If we're a good fit, it's usually because you'd rather spend your planning calls talking about a sunrise hike or a boat crossing than a seating chart. I work best with couples who see the location as part of the story, not just a backdrop for it.
