Case Study 01

The Solitude of Villa Passalacqua

A three-day documentation focused on stillness, natural light falls, and unscripted intimacy along Lake Como. We prioritize observational precision over forced choreography, allowing your celebration to unfold naturally.

Every negative is scanned by hand and balanced in our darkroom for skin-tone fidelity and grain texture that digital sensors cannot replicate.

Case Study 02

Architecture, Linen, & Twilight in Mallorca

Set against sandstone archways and raw sea mist. Our protocol treats both the guests and the setting as an interwoven still life, rendering heirloom books bound in Japanese silk.

"Archival imagery requires restraint — omitting the artificial noise to preserve the true memory of the room."

Practical Considerations

Frequently Clarified

We intentionally limit our studio to 12 weddings per calendar year to dedicate thorough preparation and artisanal lab work to every couple. Couples typically secure their dates 9 to 16 months prior.
We operate on a hybrid workflow. Medium format and 35mm film captures the daytime light, mood, and editorial portraits. For fast-paced receptions and low-light midnight dancing, we transition seamlessly to high-sensitivity archival digital systems.
For assignments across Europe, travel costs are billed at flat, transparent rates without markup. Destination logistics for [Areas you serve] are formalized directly in your commission invoice.
A preliminary curation of 50 digital frames is dispatched within 7 business days. The comprehensive digital gallery is delivered in 8 weeks, followed by your custom bound album and boxed prints in 12 weeks.
