Destination Wedding Photographer in Italy

I'm Raf, destination wedding photographer based in Verona, north of Italy, close to Garda Lake. I offer photography services all over Italy for couples looking for a destination photographer for weddings, engagements and elopements.

There are a few things that couples would like to consider prior to sign any contract with a destination photographer and I’ll go trough some points using my experience and customers testimonies.

Hiring a local destination wedding photographer it’s better than hiring a photographer that I know?

A photographer that proposes to work as a destination photographer normally doesn’t work with people from only one country but from all over the world. We already photographed ceremonies for couples from Swiss, Germany, Italy, Austria, US, UK, Ireland, Poland, Moldova, Brazil, Nepal, Singapore, Netherlands and the list keeps growing. The experience that we acquired on directing all those couples is amazing and they still text us when they're reviewing the albums with their families.

Although hiring a photographer that you know may have their advantages like getting along and less afraid in front of the cameras, a local photographer will know all the best spots for your session.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to hire a local destination wedding photographer or bring your own will depend on your personal preferences and priorities but if you want to fully experience and make the most of your wedding in Italy, hiring a local photographer is a good option.

Tips to help you find the best destination wedding photographer in Italy:

Review the photographer's portfolio to get a sense of their style, quality of work, and experience. A experienced photographer must have at a variety of images, including candid shots and posed shots.

Look for references and reviews from past clients to get an idea of their level of professionalism, communication skills, and overall satisfaction.

It's important to find a photographer who you feel comfortable with and who understands your vision for your wedding day. Schedule a meeting or call to discuss your wedding plans and make sure you feel confident in their ability to capture your special day.

Ensure that the photographer you choose is able to communicate effectively with you and your wedding planner, especially if there's a language barrier.

Carefully review the contract before signing to ensure that you understand and agree to all the terms and conditions. Make sure you are aware of things like the cost, payment schedule, and what is included in the package.

Backup plan: Make sure your photographer has a backup plan in case of equipment failure or other unforeseen circumstances.

By following these tips, you can increase your chances of finding a photographer who will capture beautiful and meaningful images of your destination wedding that you will treasure for a lifetime.
