In their words
I’m Luigi, a Rome-based photographer with a passion for stories, places and the quiet moments that often go unnoticed.
My approach is natural and unobtrusive. I don’t believe great photographs need to be forced or heavily posed. Instead, I prefer to walk, observe and let things happen — looking for the gestures, expressions, light and unexpected details that reveal something real.
Rome is my home, and I love photographing it beyond the postcard: its ancient streets, hidden corners, changing light and everyday beauty.
Whether you are travelling as a couple, alone or celebrating something special, my goal is simple: to create photographs that don’t just show where you were, but bring you back to how it felt to be there.

Luigi went above and beyond for our wedding photos! He delivered more pictures than we expected, all edited and all amazing. He also organized the digital albums so well making it easier to sort through the images. He was incredible to work with start to finish and we’re so grateful that he captured our day so perfectly!!

Luigi was recommended to us by a friend who works professionally in photography. His artistic and original way of presenting couples and telling the story of their weddings struck us straight away. A sincere, light and authentic eye shines through his work. When we met Luigi for the first time, we were charmed by his kind and accommodating manner. During the ceremony he did his work with skill and discretion. In the final stage, from the layout of the album through to its delivery, we worked together in a calm and friendly atmosphere. Luigi is a Person and a Professional for whom we feel gratitude and esteem.

Luigi ci è stato raccomandato da una amica professionista nel campo della fotografia. Il suo modo artistico ed originale di presentare e raccontare le coppie e il loro matrimoni ci ha subito colpito. Uno sguardo sincero leggero ed autentico traspira dal suo lavoro. Quando abbiamo incontrati Luigi per la prima volta, siamo stati incantati dai suoi modi disponibili e gentili. Durante la ceremonia ha svolto il suo lavoro con competenza e discrezione. Nell’ultima tappa relativa all’impostazione dell’album fino alla sua consegna abbiamo collaborato in un clima sereno e amichevole. Luigi è una Persona e un Professionista per il quale proviamo gratitudine e stima.

We booked Luigi for our wedding at Castello Borgia. We got his contact details from our wedding planner and were immediately impressed by his portfolio and online presence (Instagram, etc.). We asked if he could accompany us on our big day and he replied immediately. As we are from Germany and had to plan our wedding from afar, we were more than happy with how easy and straightforward it was to communicate with Luigi. He was always very reliable and gave us a great offer that met our needs. On our wedding day, Luigi came with a colleague so that we could both have our getting ready photos taken separately. Luigi captured us beautifully, both individually and later as a couple. The snapshots of the celebration were also great. We were particularly impressed by his use of light and shadow. Afterwards, he quickly sent us a few pictures to send and post, and just one month after the wedding, we had all the finished edited pictures. We would absolutely recommend Luigi to anyone and book him again!

Finding a good photographer to capture one of the most beautiful days of your life is very hard. Meeting Luigi was a wonderful surprise for us. He felt like a friend we had invited to our wedding, yet at our side we had a kind, smiling, helpful and never intrusive professional. He managed to grasp the spirit of the day and captured our joyful, carefree side. The result was moving, and the photos were gathered in a beautiful handcrafted album, really well made in terms of both the materials and the craftsmanship itself.

Trovare un bravo fotografo che immortali uno dei giorni più belli della tua vita é molto difficile. Incontrare Luigi é stata per noi una meravigliosa sorpresa. L'abbiamo percepito come un amico invitato al nostro matrimonio, ma avevamo accanto un professionista gentile, sorridente, disponibile e mai invadente. É riuscito a capire lo spirito della giornata e ha colto in nostro lato gioioso e spensierato. Il risultato è stato emozionante e le foto sono state racchiuse in un bellissimo album artigianale, davvero ben fatto sia per materiali che per la manifattura stessa.

Preparing our wedding was a lot of work, as it is with every wedding. But... the photographer could only be Luigi! Chemistry, helpfulness, professionalism and... laughter... And then that gaze of his, always so special and unique, that knows how to capture the essence of moments and people! Thank you, Luigi. For us, who wanted something that captured who we are, there was no other choice. I love photography, and your touch is unique!

Preparare il nostro matrimonio è stato laborioso, come in tutti i matrimoni. Ma...il fotografo poteva essere solo Luigi! Feeling, disponibilità, professionalità, e .. risate... E poi quello sguardo sempre particolare e unico, che sa cogliere le essenze dei momenti e delle persone! Grazie Luigi, per noi che volevamo qualcosa che cogliesse chi siamo, la scelta era obbligata. Io amo la fotografia, e il tuo tocco è unico!

A song from a few years ago goes: if only I had the words… Well, that was my experience: I have no words to describe the professionalism, the commitment and above all the patience of this artist. Yes, because Luigi is not just a professional photographer, he's a mix of charm and generosity, and he's even an AS Roma fan! From the moment I received the marriage proposal, I never had any doubt about which photographer I wanted by my side that day, and he truly was by my side. We had some mix-ups with the reception venue, and he was the one who humbly made himself available and kept everything running smoothly for our big day. I would get married all over again just to have more photos taken. They are works of art, not just photographs. Choosing a few for the album was incredibly hard, because they tell of moments truly lived: no posing, no calling for the guests' attention. Everything spontaneous and natural. I wish everyone could find people like this for the most important day of their lives. A little gem: a completely handcrafted, handmade album. In a world that keeps moving further towards technology, where everything is therefore the same for everyone, he knows how to make a difference.

Una canzone di qualche anno fa dice: se solo avessi le parole… Ecco questa è stata la mia esperienza, non ho parole per descrivere la professionalità, l’impegno e soprattutto la pazienza di questo artista. Sì perché Luigi non è solo un fotografo professionista, è un insieme di simpatia, generosità ed è pure romanista! Dal momento che ho ricevuto la proposta di matrimonio non ho mai avuto nessun dubbio sullo scegliere il fotografo che avrei voluto vicino a me quel giorno, e ci è stato veramente vicino. Abbiamo avuto dei disguidi con la struttura del ricevimento ed è stato lui una persona umile nel mettersi a disposizione e far filare tutto liscio per il nostro giorno importante. Mi sposerei di nuovo per farmi fare altre foto. Sono opere d’arte non solo fotografie. Sceglierne qualcuna per l’album è stato difficilissimo perché raccontano attimi vissuti, nessuna messa in posa, nessun richiamare l’attenzione degli invitati. Tutto spontaneo e naturale. Auguro a chiunque di trovare persone così per il giorno più importante della loro vita. Piccola chicca: album completamente artigianale fatto a mano. In un mondo che va sempre più incontro alla tecnologia e quindi tutto è uguale per tutti, lui sa fare la differenza.

A very enjoyable wedding trip: we flew from China to Rome to hold our wedding ceremony. And of course, we were very lucky to have chosen an excellent photographer. The whole shooting schedule was arranged very thoughtfully. Vivid details were caught by his lens and brought out to the full. Every single photo tells a story, and only a truly excellent photographer can do that. These will be beautiful memories for the rest of my life. Thank you, Luigi, for giving me a perfect photoshoot experience. Worth far more than the price.

一场非常愉快的的婚礼旅行,我们从中国飞往罗马,举行我们的婚礼仪式。当然,很幸运的是选择了一名优秀的摄影师。所有的拍摄行程安排的非常周到。一些生动的细节通过镜头的捕捉表现得淋漓尽致。每一张照片都在讲述一个故事,这需要非常优秀的摄影师才能做到的。这些将成为我此生美好的回忆。感谢路易吉,给了我一场完美的拍摄体验。物超所值。

We had the privilege of entrusting Luigi with capturing our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Luigi looked after us with great dedication, well beyond the day of the ceremony: he was by our side during the preparations, throughout the day and even in the stages that followed, showing rare attentiveness and complete willingness to accommodate our many requests for the making of the photo book. Despite unfavourable weather and difficult light, Luigi managed to capture every moment with complete naturalness, giving each shot an aura of genuine magic. His photographs don't just tell the story of the day; they bring back the emotions we felt, without ever feeling forced. Thanks to his skill, sensitivity and attention to detail, today we have an indelible memory of that special day. We recommend Luigi to anyone who wants to rely on a top-level professional who knows how to interpret and enhance every single moment with artistry and passion.

Abbiamo avuto il privilegio di affidare a Luigi il compito di immortalare il nostro matrimonio e non potremmo essere più soddisfatti della nostra scelta. Luigi ci ha seguiti con grande dedizione, ben oltre il giorno della cerimonia: ci ha affiancati nei preparativi, durante la giornata e persino nelle fasi successive, mostrando un'attenzione rara e un’assoluta disponibilità nell'assecondare le nostre numerose richieste per la realizzazione del foto libro. Nonostante le condizioni atmosferiche sfavorevoli e le luci difficili, Luigi è riuscito a catturare ogni momento con estrema naturalezza, conferendo a ciascun scatto un’aura di autentica magia. Le sue fotografie non solo raccontano la giornata, ma restituiscono le emozioni vissute, senza mai risultare forzate. Grazie alla sua competenza, sensibilità e cura dei dettagli, abbiamo oggi un ricordo indelebile di quel giorno speciale. Raccomandiamo Luigi a chiunque desideri affidarsi a un professionista di alto livello che sappia interpretare e valorizzare ogni singolo istante con arte e passione.

Choosing Luigi as the photographer for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. His photography is elegant, meticulous down to the smallest detail, and able to tell the story of the day in a refined and natural style. Every shot conveys genuine emotion without ever feeling forced. He managed to capture glances, smiles and special moments with a truly rare sensitivity. The quality of his reportage is excellent, with perfect light that brings out the best in every photo. Professional, punctual and always available, he knew how to put us at ease from the very start. During the wedding he was present but never intrusive, always in the right place at the right time. Our favourite photo is one he took late in the evening, when he should already have left some time before. A gesture that says a lot about his commitment, the passion he puts into every job and the attention he showed at every moment. The ideal person for anyone who loves photography and is looking for a photographer who can combine technique with taste, without neglecting the human side and the emotions. The privilege, without a doubt, was ours.

Scegliere Luigi come fotografo per il nostro matrimonio è stata una delle scelte migliori che abbiamo fatto. La sua fotografia è elegante, curata nei minimi dettagli e capace di raccontare la giornata con uno stile raffinato e naturale. Ogni scatto trasmette emozioni autentiche, senza mai risultare forzato. È riuscito a cogliere sguardi, sorrisi e momenti speciali con una sensibilità davvero rara. La qualità del suo reportage è eccellente, con una luce perfetta che valorizza ogni foto. Professionale, puntuale e sempre disponibile, ha saputo metterci a nostro agio fin dall’inizio. Durante il matrimonio è stato presente ma mai invadente, sempre nel posto giusto al momento giusto. La nostra foto preferita è una foto che ha scattato ormai a serata inoltrata, quando se ne sarebbe già dovuto andare da un po’. Un gesto che racconta molto del suo impegno, della passione che mette in ogni lavoro e dell’attenzione che ha avuto in ogni momento. La persona ideale per chi ama la fotografia ed è alla ricerca un fotografo capace di unire la tecnica al gusto, senza trascurare l’umanità e le emozioni. Il privilegio è stato, senza dubbio, il nostro.

Luigi won us over at our very first meeting, explaining the philosophy behind his work and showing us an album from a past wedding. Everything he told us to expect, we got to experience first-hand! During the getting ready, the ceremony and the "formal" photos, he proves to be an experienced professional, able to put anyone at ease with a light touch and attentiveness, avoiding those endless posing sessions that take the couple away from the party and the guests away from the banquet, yet without leaving anything out, managing to capture little masterpieces of light and expression in no time. During the party, on the other hand, he becomes a discreet, almost imperceptible presence, leaving all the space to the fun and the celebrations, while still somehow managing to be in the right place at the right time to give us those shots we keep looking at again and again. We are thrilled with our choice and we are sure that anyone else who puts their trust in him will feel the same emotions we did and keep the same wonderful photographic memories. Thank you, Luigi!

Luigi ci ha conquistati al primo incontro, spiegando la filosofia dietro il suo lavoro e mostrandoci un album di un matrimonio passato. Tutto ciò che ci ha anticipato, l'abbiamo toccato con mano! Durante la preparazione, il rito e le foto "istituzionali" si dimostra un professionista esperto, capace di mettere a proprio agio chiunque con leggerezza e attenzione, evitando le infinite sessioni di pose che tolgono gli sposi dalla festa e gli invitati dal banchetto, senza per questo tralasciare nulla, riuscendo ad immortalare in poco tempo piccoli capolavori di luce ed espressione. Durante la festa invece diventa una presenza discreta, quasi impercettibile, lasciando totale spazio al divertimento ed alle celebrazioni, pur rimanendo capace, chissà come, di trovarsi al posto giusto al momento giusto per regalare quei click che non smettiamo di guardare e riguardare. Siamo felicissimi della scelta fatta e siamo sicuri che chiunque altro si affiderà a lui proverà le stesse nostre emozioni e conserverà gli stessi stupendi ricordi fotografici. Grazie Luigi!

Before we had actually decided to get married, back when we were perhaps just daydreaming for fun about how we might like to celebrate, we already knew without a doubt that Luigi would be there with us. Luigi is an outstanding professional. Driven by a visceral passion for photography, he knows how to tell every story with his own clear and truly personal signature style, through shots that are always thoughtful, measured and never banal. Over the Christmas holidays, we showed our freshly printed photo album to our parents. Reliving that September day through their eyes too, full of emotion as they were, is a feeling that is hard to describe. After all, that is what photographs are for: to catapult you back in time. They let you relive the moments, sensing once more the scents, the music, the laughter, the clinking of glasses, and they often let you notice details that had escaped you. Every photo holds a whole story. Luigi told the story of our celebration moment by moment, never holding back and showing rare dedication. Looking through his reportage – because that is truly what we are talking about when it comes to his photography – nothing is missing; on the contrary. He was a precious ally throughout our whole day, an ever-discreet yet truly essential presence in making our experience unique and unrepeatable. Like any serious professional worthy of the name, Luigi also chooses his collaborators carefully, so as to leave absolutely nothing to chance. Andrea, just like Luigi, did a brilliant job supporting him in creating a truly complete story of our wedding. In short, we never had any doubts: we put our trust in Luigi and we are certain we made the right choice. We will never be able to thank him enough for the exceptional work he did for us!

Quando non avevamo ancora effettivamente deciso di sposarci, e magari fantasticavamo per gioco su come avremmo immaginato di festeggiare, sapevamo già senza dubbio che Luigi sarebbe stato lì con noi. Luigi è un professionista eccellente. Guidato da una passione viscerale per la fotografia, sa raccontare ogni storia con la sua cifra stilistica chiara e davvero personale, attraverso scatti sempre ragionati, misurati e mai banali. Durante le feste di Natale, abbiamo mostrato il nostro album fotografico fresco di stampa ai nostri genitori. Rivivere quel giorno di settembre attraverso anche i loro occhi commossi è una sensazione difficile da descrivere. Le fotografie in fondo servono a questo, a catapultarti indietro nel tempo. Ti fanno rivivere i momenti sentendo nuovamente i profumi, la musica, le risate, i calici che tintinnano, e spesso ti permettono di notare dei particolari che ti erano sfuggiti. Ogni foto è lunga una storia. Luigi ha raccontato la nostra festa attimo per attimo senza mai risparmiarsi, mostrando una dedizione rara. Ammirando il suo reportage - perché è veramente di questo che si parla quando si tratta della sua fotografia - non manca niente, anzi. È stato un alleato prezioso durante tutto il nostro giorno, una presenza sempre discreta ma davvero essenziale per rendere unica ed irripetibile la nostra esperienza. Come ogni professionista serio che si rispetti, Luigi sceglie accuratamente anche i suoi collaboratori per non lasciare assolutamente niente al caso. Andrea, come Luigi, è stato bravissimo nel supportarlo a creare un racconto veramente completo del nostro matrimonio. Insomma, non abbiamo mai avuto dubbi: ci siamo affidati a Luigi e siamo certi di aver fatto la scelta giusta. Non smetteremo mai di ringraziarlo a sufficienza per il lavoro eccezionale che ha fatto per noi!

Hi Luigi, we wanted to thank you because, more than a year after our wedding/christening, thanks to your eye we can relive the most important day of our lives again and again. Leafing through our album for the first time today, we relived every single moment, every smile and every tear, but above all we noticed the joy of every single one of our guests, and that is what makes us happiest. You're number 1, no two ways about it! Thanks again, from the bottom of our hearts! Francesca, Marcello & Lorenzo

Luigi is such a lovely and easy person to work with. Considering I was planning my wedding from the other side of the world, he definitely helped lighten the stress. He was so helpful, attentive, and, most importantly, a lovely companion during our wedding day. I sent Luigi my photo inspirations, and he LITERALLY turned my vision board into reality and even exceeded it! As someone who is very particular about my photos, I AM BEYOND HAPPY!! I would recommend Luigi to anyone planning a wedding, a holiday, or even just a sunny photoshoot day! Thank you, Luigi, for making our special day even more memorable!
