WE ARE LUCIANO AND EMILIA, DESTINATION WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER
Get to know us
WHO WE ARE
wedding videographer based in Italy, available worldwide.
Photography and videography is a passion born when I was a child. My father owned a compact Pentax, I often took it to take photographs. In truth I simulated the gesture, there was never any film inside, I liked looking through the viewfinder, seeing the cut and focusing. This was enough for me. Passion became profession very early, I started working in a photography studio when I was only fifteen. In the summer I went out for ceremonies, I was an assistant: there I learned most of the technique. In the winter, however, immediately after school – I graduated from the Filiberto Menna Art Institute in Salerno – I helped out in the studio.
In particular, I dealt with artisanal black and white printing, a magic that bewitched me. The specialization in cinematographic language came after, even a little by chance, the urgency of replacing a colleague, and in fact yes, apart from the considerable weight of the cameras of the time, the filming and editing immediately took me fascinated. So what is clear is that photography and videography, the study of light and composition, are intertwined in my training, key elements of new concept wedding films.
OUR STYLE
We Are Story Tellers
live the moment, feel the emotions
We want to tell the real moments, to make a personalized and timeless film.
The wedding film is a real author’s film, made according to a defined concept, a storytelling. But at the same time, we let ourselves be overwhelmed by the emotions of the day, by everything that happens around us. Empathy for us is essential to allow us to work in the most natural way possible, which is why we prefer to get to know our customers personally.
We call it film, and we want to do it, not for a habit, but because mirrorless cameras offer the possibility of working in 35 mm just like in the cinema, taking advantage of the peculiarities of photographic optics, to this we add the use of drones. , sound design, color, photography, direction, things we carefully work on to produce the film of a real event. The use of ambient audio, microphones to ensure the cleanliness of sounds and voices during speeches, the choice of the supporting soundtrack, for which we sometimes spend hours, if not days, all these things make the film.
During our services we are minimally invasive, we move with great discretion, limiting the time of couple sessions as much as possible. We are committed to establishing a friendly relationship with the spouses and their guests, trying to make them feel at ease. We know that the wedding day is unique and important, it is theirs, nobody else’s.
Thanks to the techniques, innovation, skills and above all the sensitivity of the videomaker, today it is possible to give life to a real film story capable not only of evoking the emotions of the day of the ceremony, but generating new ones. Training in this regard is essential as an element capable of giving that added value that differentiates everyone’s work. And I’m not just talking about technical knowledge or skills, but about personal experiences, passions and therefore: travel, films, music, books, museums, theater; all elements necessary for the formation of one’s know-how. The creative process is not completely linear, but once we have stored all the suggestions, at the most propitious moment it happens that we pull them out.
