The PHOTOGRAPHER
Ciao,
please call me Frida
A decade in luxury fashion taught me that beauty speaks without words — and I photograph weddings the same way.
I've always believed a fashion eye edits with love. It chooses what truly matters and trusts what remains. No clutter, no performance — just real moments, given room to breathe.
The right detail over every detail. The fold of fabric, a glance, the architectural framing of a doorway, one beam of light falling just so.
Because true luxury is quiet. It doesn't shout. And simplicity — in a frame, in a feeling — is where the greatest meaning lives.
Elegance and emotion are timeless, and I find them both in the candid, the composed, the barely-there moment.
Every wedding I photograph is its own world — and I come to it with a still eye, an open heart, and a deep love for beauty that is honest and alive.
THE APPROACH
I am here to tell your love story —
honestly, elegantly, and without compromise.
My approach is simple — to be present, to be still, and to see.
Wherever you choose to celebrate, whatever shape your day takes, I come with one intention: to find the beauty that is already there.
Not to create it, not to direct it — but to recognise it, in the moment it happens, and hold it.
The eye I bring is editorial — shaped by years of working within fashion, where sophistication never tries too hard and elegance lives in the understated. That same sensibility guides every frame. The way light falls, the geometry of a room, the texture of fabric, a glance that lasts half a second. Beauty observed, not constructed.
Every decision — where I stand, what I include, what I leave out — comes from a deep instinct for what matters. Less, always more. The quiet frame, often the most powerful.
Your day is entirely your own. The location, the mood, the details — all yours. My job is simply to follow that world with a fashion eye and an open heart, and return it to you in a way that feels timeless.
Beauty, History
& Atmosphere
Elopements and small intimate weddings are sustainable and stress free. They are comforting and obligation free — everything is on your own terms, as unique as you wish.
There is something deeply honest about choosing intimacy over spectacle. About letting the landscape, the light, and the love between you be the story.
INTIMATE BY DESIGN
If you love the outdoors, let's go and climb up some mountains where you can exchange vows with the most spectacular views in the most spectacular dress — think fashion editorials in Vogue.
If you want to wed in a romantic medieval hilltop town, I can show you some gems. Alternatively, choose from beautiful vineyards to more rustic and natural olive groves for your special day.
All captured beautifully and naturally, with over a decade of visual training.
italy as your location
Umbria is Italy's best kept secret — wilder, quieter, and more honest than anywhere else. No crowds, no performance. Just ancient hilltops, endless olive groves, and a landscape that has been quietly perfect for centuries. I know it intimately, and I would love to show you where to go.
Umbria carries a light unlike anywhere else in the world — soft, golden, and unhurried. It falls differently on ancient stone, on olive leaves, on a veil caught in the breeze. This region is raw and unpolished in the most beautiful sense: no performance, no pretence. Just land, history, and an atmosphere that makes every frame feel like it has always existed. It is the perfect backdrop for love that is equally real.
Simply magical. Simply romantic. Simply yours.
Kind words
“I was very lucky to meet Frida through my hairdresser. We didn’t meet before our wedding. So without knowing us, she had this special eye to capture the most precious moments of us, the joyous interactions between guests and the love that filled the air. Her pictures are authentic capturing real moments. She also took pictures for us as a small family afterwards. Frida is such a nice and competent photographer. I would always book her again and highly recommend her!”

We had such a wonderful experience working with Frida. From the very beginning, she was incredibly sensitive to our wishes and made us feel completely at ease. Her calm and warm presence allowed us to truly enjoy the moment, and it showed in the photos. The shoot was not only fun but also full of creativity — she had great ideas while also being open to ours. The final pictures captured our emotions beautifully and felt truly authentic. We are beyond happy with the results and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and empathetic photographer!

Being photographed by Frida was a truly beautiful experience.
With her calm and gentle approach, Frida immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I completely trusted her and let her guide me. When I received the photos, I got goosebumps — the emotion they convey is indescribable. I have never felt so beautiful as I did in her photographs. My family and close friends were also deeply moved as soon as they saw them.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Frida, for your talent and for the wonderful person you are.
