    An elopement is more than an intimate ceremony—it’s an adventure centered entirely around the two of you. Free from the schedule of a traditional wedding, my approach focuses on capturing genuine, emotional, and narrative moments against the breathtaking backdrop of Lake Como, Lake Maggiore or Langhe and Barolo or in the historic Italian cities like Milan and Turin. I will document your day with a documentary and artistic perspective, creating memories that feel timeless and uniquely yours.

In their words

Degree in Chemical Engineering, but only one true passion: telling stories of emotion through images. Immediately after graduating, I embarked on my photography journey, opening a studio in the Cantù (Como) area dedicated to portraiture, and over the years specializing in couple photography, weddings, and personal photoshoots. A few years ago, I expanded by opening a second studio in Malnate (Varese). However, my photography knows no boundaries, and I am available to reach clients at any desired location. For me, what truly matters is giving each of you a memory that is emotional, vivid, and timeless.

    We turned to Gianluca for our wedding because we were looking for a photo service mainly in a reportage style, and therefore very spontaneous. We don't like having our picture taken, so we were afraid of feeling awkward during the slightly more posed shots, but Gianluca and his team put us at ease right away and in the end we even had fun. I recommend the drone video service because, even though at first we were a little unsure whether it was really necessary, we were absolutely delighted with it, and it was very moving to relive that day to the full.

    Ci siamo rivolti a Gianluca per il nostro matrimonio perché cercavamo un servizio fotografico principalmente in stile reportage e quindi molto spontaneo. Non amiamo farci fotografare quindi temevamo di sentirci in imbarazzo durante gli scatti un po’ più un posa, invece Gianluca e la sua squadra ci hanno messo subito a nostro agio e alla fine ci siamo anche divertiti. Consiglio il servizio video con il drone perché, anche se inizialmente eravamo un po in dubbio sulla reale necessità, siamo rimasti assolutamente soddisfatti ed è stato molto emozionante rivivere a pieno quel giorno.

    Super happy! Gianluca was professional, helpful and attentive throughout the whole wedding day and also in the days before and after. He put us at ease right from the start and captured the most important moments with discretion and precision. The photos are of excellent quality and tell the story of the day well, from the most emotional moments to the most spontaneous ones. We are very happy with the final result and the service we received. We recommend him without hesitation.

    We entrusted the memory of our wedding to Gianluca's professionalism and we couldn't have made a better choice! We were truly delighted with the final result. Gianluca, Matteo and Mauro put us at ease right away, were never intrusive and, even though we weren't used to lenses and cameras, we hardly noticed their presence. The photos are extraordinary, not only the posed ones, but above all the spontaneous ones. The cinematic trailer and the film are wonderful! Thanks to you we can relive the emotions and the joy of our most important day! Mirella and Fabrizio

    Abbiamo affidato alla professionalità di Gianluca il ricordo del nostro matrimonio e non potevamo fare scelta migliore! Siamo rimasti veramente soddisfatti del risultato finale. Gianluca, Matteo e Mauro ci hanno fatto sentire subito a nostro agio, non sono mai stati invadenti e, nonostante noi non fossimo abituati a obiettivi e telecamere, non ci siamo quasi accorti della loro presenza. Le foto sono straordinarie, non solo quelle in posa, ma soprattutto quelle spontanee. Il trailer cinematografico e il filmato sono meravigliosi! Grazie a voi possiamo rivivere le emozioni e la gioia del nostro giorno più importante! Mirella e Fabrizio

    Professional and reliable From our very first meeting Gianluca proved to be a serious and competent professional. He guided us all the way to the wedding day, giving us precise directions without ever being intrusive. We loved both the photo shoot and the videos of the day very much. With his work he managed to capture the emotions of our big day and let us relive them by looking at his images. Highly recommended, also for the excellent value for money.

    Professionale e affidabile Sin dal primo incontro Gianluca si è dimostrato un professionista serio e competente. Ci ha guidato in tutto il percorso fino al giorno del matrimonio dandoci indicazioni precise senza mai risultare invadente. Abbiamo amato moltissimo sia il servizio fotografico che i video della giornata. Con il suo lavoro è riuscito a catturare le emozioni del nostro big day e a farcele rivivere guardando le sue immagini. Super consigliato anche per l’ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.
