Wedding Photography Excellence Awards Collection 55.

I am Elisa, and I am co-founder of Foto Event Studio, a photography and videography studio born more than 10 years ago. I work as a photographer based in Italy but travel worldwide.

Over the years, I have refined our technique of reportage, telling with naturalness the experience of couples. I am nicknamed Mary Poppins because in my bag, in addition to photographic equipment, you will find everything you need to spin a wedding in the best way (needle and thread, paper clips, candy medicine are for me the order of the day).

I live in a small town in Sicily, a few steps from the sea, with my two children. I love art and music, good food and travel, which allows me to find couples who are close to my lifestyle and passions. I have been working as a couple for 15 years now and this allows me to work in symbiosis with my partner and to create unique images that tell a true love story, because I shoot by empathizing with the couple.

Luigi was one of the first pioneer photographers to apply the reportage approach in wedding photography. By changing style and techniques he continues to produce dynamic and emotional images of the highest quality. He has received important awards and international recognitions, such as: QIP and QEP – FEP about wedding photography and has become a member of the most prominent international associations of professional photographers: WPJA, AGWPJA, WPPI, ISPWP, FEARLESS, ISPWP, WPS along with the Italian ones: ANFM, Tau-Visual, FIOF. He was selected as a founder member of BOWP (Best Of Wedding Photography) Italy, an association which acknowledges the best wedding photographers in the world. A great number of his images have been published in wedding magazines, books, issues, exhibitions and have won several competitions around the world.

I live in the North West of England with Rachel and my two lovely dogs and photograph weddings and theatre.

The story of a wedding day is what I like to focus on - what is it about these two people, their family and friends that interests me. What’s different at this wedding, what’s the same? I’ve been doing this for 15 years now and still enjoy telling stories.”
