Raul was wonderful! He had a route planned out through Milan to make us get the most out of our 1 hour shoot. He also gave us plenty of direction!-PeterView Photographer profile
I’m so glad I chose Maria to capture my proposal! She was incredibly kind, attentive to every detail, and took stunning photos. She even helped me organize the surprise proposal in real time, making everything run smoothly. The photoshoot at La Scala was unforgettable, and Maria truly went above and beyond to capture all the best moments. Having her assistant there was a great bonus—they even made a beautiful video of the proposal. Highly recommend if you want someone professional, thoughtful, and amazing at what they do! Thank you, Maria!-V. H.View Photographer profile
Alice truly managed to capture us exactly as we are then make us look magical.

She immediately put us at ease with her down to earth way of being and her witty sense of humor. She took us to so many great spots and then simply made magic happen with her eye for detail and framing.

We loved every minute of our time with her and have some terrific memories captured.-JasonView Photographer profile
Raul was an excellent photographer and very professional. He was flexible with our schedule and met us precisely where he said he would. He was creative with the photos and worked well with my daughter's choice of venue.... which was actually the very busy square of Milan's duomo and the Galleria.... He may not know it, but he made my daughter and her mother very happy with the photos.-JoelView Photographer profile
Sydney was amazing!! She was so friendly and easy to work with. She had great ideas and was flexible. She’s a gifted photographer and is great with kids. I loved her style, artistic approach, and ability to capture little moments that we will always remember. So happy she was able to snap memories of our trip that we will cherish. Thank you!-Sood FamilyView Photographer profile
Bruna was fantastic!!! She was easy to communicate with, was SO on top of our location (we wanted photos in Duomo but she knew there were stages set up, and knew when the stages came down, and the angles we could work from to not get the work area), and made the whole shoot feel very natural and easy-- especially for a bunch of photoshoot newbies. She caught the surprise engagement perfectly as well as lots of little candid moments; we are so happy with everything and can't recommend her enough. Thank you, Bruna!!!-HarnView Photographer profile
I had such a wonderful experience shooting with Maria in Milan! She made the entire session feel effortless and fun, capturing the city’s charm and my personality beautifully in every shot. From the moment we met, her warm energy and creative eye put me completely at ease, and she knew all the best hidden spots for stunning backdrops. The final photos were absolutely gorgeous — natural, elegant, and full of that unmistakable Milan magic. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer or experience!-Kinya C.View Photographer profile
Sydney is the BEST there is!!!! She captured our shoot perfectly—it was everything we ever wanted & more. Not to mention how sweet and personable she is! She really has an eye for it all—she knew just the spots and ways to make our dream a reality. All of the pictures turned out better than we could have imaging—especially with the film aspect, she made it super whimsical and dreamy. I can’t say enough—we are sooo pleased and had a great experience with Sydney!!!-Allie & JakeView Photographer profile
