Raifa was very professional, helpful, kind, and creative during the photoshoot and the event. We are very happy with the results. She could catch the key moments in pictures. We hope to work with her again in the near future, maybe at our wedding :-P

Thank you very much, Raifa, for your kind extra support you have.-GergelyView Photographer profile
So happy we booked Mimmo for our engagement photos! We were vacationing from the US and had no idea the right spots to go, but Mimmo was a total expert and helped guide us to the best backdrops.

I got the photos back quickly and wow I'm so happy with them. We used them for our Save the Dates and wedding website. We've gotten so many compliments on them. They look like a postcard. Definitely book with him!!-AdrienneView Photographer profile
I cannot recommend Daniel enough! Daniel is a talented photographer who is very knowledgeable and helpful in regards to helping you pick the perfect time and location to capture your special moment. My fiancée and I are more than satisfied with the photos he took for our engagement!-CristianView Photographer profile
We are over the moon with how special our photoshoot with Mimmo and his assistant, Peppe, turned out! My proposal was truly a fairy tale, a magical dream alongside the Amalfi Coast, on the beach of Positano Spiaggia Grande.

Mimmo and Peppe were prompt, courteous, professional, and offered a lot of direction during our session (which we requested). The keen eye with capturing the moment and craftsmanship of Mimmo could not be stressed enough! I would highly recommend booking him for your photoshoot. Thank you a thousand times over! We are so excited to re-live this special engagement for the rest of our lives!-MichaelView Photographer profile
Samantha and her husband, Diego, were absolutely excellent! I couldn’t have asked for better photographers. I had them do a proposal photoshoot, and they were incredibly helpful in making suggestions about a good time and location to fit my needs. They captured the moment beautifully and from 2 different angles since they were both shooting pictures. My now-fiancée did not see them or notice they were taking pictures. Afterward, they were incredibly friendly and gave great directions for some beautiful photos. I could not be happier with how they turned out!-AndyView Photographer profile
We are very pleased with Mimmo's work, we love our photos, we were nervous at the beginning but Mimmo and Pepe make us feel comfortable and help us a lot with the clear directions and tips. It was an incredible experience, specially in a such special moment for us. Thank you Mimmo!!-Javier & VreyView Photographer profile
Maria was a wonderful photographer! We highly recommend her. I contacted her weeks before I proposed to my fiancée and she was very nice and helpful. She captured the moment beautifully in Rome.

My fiancée loved the surprised and we both appreciated how patient she was with us. She gave us specific poses to do that came out so well.

We are over the moon happy with the photos. We’re grateful she was our photographer! Don’t hesitate and book with Maria!-CesarView Photographer profile
Angelica was amazing! She was early, discreet, and captured the moment so much better than I expected.

I highly recommend her for an engagement shoot, and I plan to hire her for our wedding!-BrianView Photographer profile
Anna was incredible to work with from the very beginning. She helped coordinate and shoot a surprise proposal, in the midst of a busy area she did a fantastic job at getting the best shots while staying discreet for the surprise. Following the proposal, she lent her artistic insight and helped coordinate a wonderful hour-long photoshoot. My fiancé and I love how the pictures turned out! We would absolutely shoot with Anna again.-JamesView Photographer profile
I can recommend Manuel to everyone. He is very helpful in his communication before the shoot and makes sure everyone is on the same page.

During the shoot, Manuel creates a comfortable environment, which is very helpful if you are not that experienced in shooting.

The final pictures were beautiful and delivered quickly.-KishanView Photographer profile
