FAQ - Wedding Photographer

Choosing your wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions when planning your big day. On this page, you will find the most frequently asked questions about wedding photography in Salento and Puglia, to understand how I work and what to expect.

If you are planning a wedding in this beautiful region, here you will find all the useful information before booking my services as a photographer.

The cost of a wedding photographer in Lecce or Puglia can vary depending on several factors:

• the duration of the photography service;
• the presence of a second photographer;
• travel expenses;
• the addition of a wedding video.

As a general guideline, my wedding photography services start at €1,400, but the price largely depends on the type of event.

Every wedding is different, so I always prepare a personalized quote based on the day and the couple’s specific needs.

I am a wedding photographer based in Lecce and I mainly work throughout Salento and Puglia, including:

• Lecce
• Otranto
• Gallipoli
• Ostuni
• Brindisi
• Bari
• Valle d’Itria

However, I am also available for destination weddings anywhere in Italy and abroad.

Most couples choose full-day coverage, which includes:

• getting ready
• the ceremony
• couple portraits
• the reception
• the party

Typically, the service lasts up to 10 hours (usually ending shortly after the cake cutting), but it can be customized according to the wedding schedule.

For most weddings, I work together with a second professional photographer.

Having a collaborator is very important for:

• capturing the day from multiple perspectives;
• photographing the bride and groom simultaneously during preparations;
• capturing more spontaneous moments during the celebration.

For smaller weddings (with a low number of guests, such as an elopement), I can cover the event alone. In this case, however, the bride and groom need to get ready in the same location.

The number of photographs depends on the duration and type of wedding. On average, however, I deliver around 500–600 photos selected by me. Unlike many other wedding photography studios, I professionally edit all the photos that will be delivered to the couple, with the utmost attention to detail. This is very important in order to create a unique and consistent mood throughout the entire collection of images.

It’s a good rule to book as early as possible, otherwise the date may already be taken by other couples. Many couples book their photographer 12 to 18 months before the wedding, especially if they plan to get married in high season between May and September.

If you are planning a wedding in Lecce or other locations in Puglia, I recommend contacting me as soon as your date is set to check availability.

To reserve the date, all you need to do is sign the contract I will prepare for your wedding and pay the deposit, which is usually 30% of the total amount.

Not personally, but I work in collaboration with a professional videographer.

I offer a variety of extra services:

• Photo albums tailored to your tastes and budget;
• Instant prints (Polaroids) of photos taken during the service (mainly during the aperitif, right after the couple’s entrance at the reception);
• Analog photography: not an exclusively film-based service, but additional photos taken during the quieter moments of the event (for example, during the couple’s portrait session);
• Wedding video: as mentioned earlier, the video is created by a professional videographer I collaborate with.
