FAQ

  • I completely understand that feeling! Most of my couples feel the same way initially. The truth is, once you have the right team in place, it’s actually quite straightforward. I work with incredible local vendors who speak English, understand international couples’ needs, and handle all the Italian bureaucracy. After fifteen years here, I’ve streamlined the process so much that many couples tell me their Lake Garda wedding was less stressful than planning something at home.

  • Your guests will absolutely love exploring! Many couples worry about whether guests should hire cars or rely on public transport to reach wedding venues, but Lake Garda has excellent connections. I always provide detailed guest guides including transport options, and most venues offer shuttle services. Plus, staying in different lakeside towns gives everyone a mini Italian vacation.

  • Absolutely! Many couples dream of a super small Lake Garda wedding with immediate family only, around 20 people max, with the ceremony taking place outside looking out onto the lake. Small weddings here can be incredibly cost-effective, especially if you choose family-run venues or restaurant receptions. I offer elopement packages specifically for intimate celebrations, and honestly, some of my most magical weddings have been the smallest ones.

  • While I’m not a wedding planner, I work closely with the best local vendors that I can guide you through most decisions. For simple celebrations, my vendor coordination is often enough. For larger or more complex weddings, I’ll recommend trusted planners who work seamlessly with my photography style. Past couples have said their Lake Garda weddings were “the best wedding ever” when working with the right local team.

  • That’s such an important question! While Lake Garda is stunning, what makes images truly special is understanding how light works at different times and locations around the lake. I don’t just photograph at the obvious spots – I know which hidden terraces catch morning light beautifully, where the mist creates ethereal backdrops, and how to position you so the mountains frame your story perfectly. Every couple gets locations and moments that feel uniquely theirs.

  • Never! I’m much more interested in capturing you laughing together, the way you naturally touch each other’s hands, or that moment when you think no one’s watching. The most beautiful Lake Garda wedding photos happen when couples forget I’m there. I’ll give you gentle guidance to make you look amazing, but it should always feel like you’re just enjoying your celebration.

  • I hear this from almost every couple, and it’s completely normal! The secret is that I spend time getting to know you before your wedding day. During our engagement session around Lake Garda, you’ll see exactly how I work and how natural it feels. By your wedding day, we’re already comfortable together, and you’ll be surprised how confident and beautiful you feel in front of my camera.

  • Lake Garda weather can be unpredictable, but I’ve learned that some of my most dramatic and romantic images happen during unexpected weather. Misty mornings create ethereal romance, and post-storm light is absolutely magical. I always scout covered locations at your venue and know gorgeous indoor spots nearby. Many couples actually prefer their “rainy day” photos because they’re so cinematic and unique.

  • You’ll receive your complete gallery of 800-1,200+ edited images within 5-6 weeks. But I know waiting is torture, so you’ll get a sneak peek with 20-30 favorites within three days. This lets you share the excitement with family immediately while I perfect every single image in your full collection. Quality matters more than quantity – every photo is carefully selected and beautifully edited.

  • Yes! Your gallery is completely private and online, so you can share the link with anyone you want. Grandparents in Australia, friends in America – everyone can view, download, and order prints directly. The gallery works perfectly on phones too, so people can see your Lake Garda wedding photos anywhere.

  • Of course! I offer gorgeous parent albums and professional prints because I know how much families treasure these. Everything is color-matched and printed on premium materials. Many couples order extra prints as thank-you gifts for their wedding party too – it’s such a meaningful way to share your Lake Garda memories.

  • Each area has its own personality! Southern Lake Garda (Sirmione, Bardolino) feels more Mediterranean with gentle hills and historic towns. As you go north the lake narrows and becomes more mountainous, offering dramatic backdrops in places like Malcesine and Limone. I’ll help you choose based on your style – do you want romantic gardens and ancient castles, or dramatic mountains and intimate villages?

  • Both! Some venues like Villa San Martino have gardens that literally touch the lake, while others offer stunning elevated views. Getting venues actually on the lake can be limited, especially if your vision is specifically lakeside, which is why I recommend booking early. During our consultation, I’ll show you exactly what each location offers so you can choose what feels right for your celebration.

  • Absolutely! Some of my favorite sessions happen exploring charming villages like Limone sul Garda or taking a boat to secluded coves. We can incorporate this into your engagement session or plan a day-after shoot. Walking through ancient streets, stopping at lakeside cafes, or finding hidden viewpoints – these adventures often create the most treasured, authentic images.

  • Great question! I work with people who value artistry and want their photos to feel elevated and timeless. You’re planning your Lake Garda wedding as a curated experience, not just a party. You appreciate beautiful details, authentic moments, and understand that exceptional photography is an investment in your family’s legacy. If that sounds like you, we’ll probably be perfect together!

  • I photograph love in all its forms – from intimate elopements with just two witnesses to grand celebrations with 200 guests. What matters to me is that you value beautiful, artistic photography and want your Lake Garda wedding documented with the care and attention it deserves. My approach and quality remain the same regardless of budget size.

  • Flexibility is so important! Lake Garda weddings often have magical, spontaneous moments – maybe the light is perfect for photos earlier than planned, or your guests are having so much fun you want to extend cocktail hour. I’m always watching for these opportunities and will adapt our timeline to capture the best possible images while respecting your celebration.
