My Story

My name is Emanuela, I'm 28 years old, and for as long as I can remember I've seen the world through frames. It's not just a figure of speech โ€” it's the way my mind works.

It all started with fashion and fine art photography. For years I worked on editorials, reportage projects and personal visual research, seeking that exact point where light meets emotion. My work has been published in Vogue Italia, LensCulture, Fotografare, Bogamia Art & Photography Magazine and several other national and international publications.

In 2022 I completed my masterโ€™s degree in Theatrical and Film Set Design. That path changed everything for me. I learned to build an image the way you build a scene: choosing the right light, the composition that tells a story, the atmosphere that makes your heart race. I learned that every photograph can be a little film.

And then weddings came along. Not as a change of direction, but as a natural evolution. Because a wedding is exactly this: a love story unfolding before my eyes, with unrepeatable light, authentic gestures and an emotion that cannot be recreated in a studio. It's the most beautiful stage that exists.

Today I bring everything I am to every wedding: the eye of the set designer, the sensitivity of the portrait photographer, the hunger for beauty of the fine art photographer. My goal is not to document the day โ€” it's to give you back the truth of your gestures, your emotions, the light that enveloped you in that unrepeatable moment.

My Style

Where reportage meets editorial

Like a film, but it's your life

Every wedding for me begins with mutual trust. I take care of your memories with discretion, guiding you gently when needed and stepping back when life truly happens. Your story stays authentic, intact, alive.

I don't simply look for images: I seek atmosphere, rhythm, emotions.

All you have to do is be there.
Live your day fully, forget the camera and let everything unfold naturally.

Aesthetics with meaning

A wedding isn't a scene to perform, but a time to live through. I don't chase perfection, but truth. Beauty comes from what isn't staged: a spontaneous gesture, a gaze that lingers an instant longer, a laugh that breaks the protocol.

I protect the natural rhythm of the day, avoiding interruptions and rigid poses. Every moment has its own light โ€” the golden light of sunset, the soft light of the getting-ready, the warm light of the first dance โ€” and I'm there to capture it without stopping anything.

You live, I observe โ€” and I treasure what happens.

It's about the people

A wedding is made of relationships before events.

I move among your guests naturally, present but never intrusive, to tell not only your story, but also the people around you: the parents' embraces, the friends' complicity, the energy of the celebration.

Because often the most precious memories are the ones you didn't see happen.

Editorial and cinematic, yet real

My eye is inspired by editorial and cinema. Light, movement and composition guide every image, but without forcing anything.

I intervene only when needed, especially in portraits, with light and natural direction. I see every location as a film set โ€” a Maltese alley becomes a frame, a historic palace becomes a stage, a meadow at sunset becomes a canvas โ€” but the scene is always yours.

Refined images today, emotional memory tomorrow.
