Nice to meet you, I’m FedericoWedding photographer in Alba,
in love with the right light, and a discreet witness

A little about me

I believe in people, in the right light and in time well spent

Hi, I’m Federico. If we were sitting at a table right now, I would ask you to tell me how you met, and I would probably get lost listening to you.

I have been photographing weddings since 2010, in the Langhe, across Italy and beyond: more than 300 couples have trusted me. Over the years I have learned that a beautiful photograph begins before the shot: with trust, with good planning, with calm.

“The most beautiful photographs are not staged or retouched to perfection: they are the ones in which you recognise yourselves.”

I never planned to become a photographer…

and yet here I am.

Before photography I did something completely different: a factory job, the Carabinieri, manual work, ten years in a technical office. Very different jobs, which taught me precision, respect for timing and the value of people.

Then the camera came along, and it never let me go. I brought everything I had learned with me: today it is the reason my weddings run smoothly, and you can simply enjoy yours. And since I have always built my own websites, today I also design websites for local businesses.

What I love

Weddings

I photograph only a few weddings a year, from beginning to end: the guide, a timeline we build together, a discreet presence and true, elegant images.

Guest portraits

Instead of a wedding favour, a portrait: taken during the aperitivo, printed and framed during dinner, ready for every guest at the end of the evening.

“Every single time we look back
at those photos, a heartfelt smile
lights up our faces.”

How you will feel

Working with me is simple. I listen before suggesting anything, I give advice when it helps, and the decisions are always yours.

On the wedding day I stay calm even when the schedule slips, and I guide you with just a few directions only when needed. The rest of the time, you will almost forget I am there.

You will feel in good hands from the very start, and when you look through your photographs you will recognise yourselves in every image.

The Langhe

I live in Alba, among vineyards and hills. Every season here has a different light, and I never tire of it.

My family

My anchor. It is where I learned how precious the moments that never come back are.

Things done well

Clean design, logic, careful details. In work and in life, I like it when everything is in its place.
