Wedding photographer in Italy, on the Amalfi Coast and in Puglia

I photograph weddings as they really happen – quietly, honestly and with an eye for the light – from the terraces of Sorrento and Positano to the whitewashed masserie of Puglia.

Two decades of weddings, told the way they happened.

For more than twenty years I have photographed weddings in Italy, on the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast, in Puglia, in Tuscany and in Rome. My style is photojournalistic: I follow the day as it unfolds – the preparations, the ceremony, the toasts, the cake at sunset, the last dance – and I stay out of the way. You will hardly notice me. Then the photos arrive, and you see the day again exactly as it was.

How it works

From first message to your album

1

Check your date

Send me your date, the place and a few words about the day. I will get back to you with availability and the options that fit your wedding, usually soon after your enquiry arrives.

2

We plan the day together

Before the wedding we go through the timeline, the list of family groups and the moments that matter most to you. If I have not worked at your venue before, I research it and visit it beforehand to see the light and the best backdrops.

3

Your photos, your way

Within a few days up to three or four weeks, depending on your package, you receive a private online gallery and all your high-resolution files, ready to share and print – plus a printed album if you choose one.

An Italian wedding photographer on the Amalfi Coast

The Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast are at the heart of my work, and they never run out of possibilities: cliffs dropping into the sea, lemon gardens, terraces over the Bay of Naples and light that changes by the hour. I work in Sorrento, Positano, Ravello, Amalfi and Capri, at venues such as the Cloister of San Francesco, Villa Antiche Mura and Villa Cimbrone.

Each town has its own character. Sorrento is well organised and easy for guests to reach. Positano offers church and civil ceremonies with the whole bay behind you. Ravello, high above the sea, has some of the most beautiful villas and gardens on the coast.

A destination wedding photographer in Puglia

Puglia is my favourite region in Italy, and one of the most rewarding to photograph. Couples choose between the quiet of the countryside – weddings in a masseria, among olive trees and vineyards, often with rooms for the guests – and the sea, with its beaches and white clifftop towns such as Polignano a Mare.

I know the region well, from Ostuni and Alberobello to Cisternino and Martina Franca, and I am always happy to share advice while you plan. Puglia is where I live, and for the past twelve years most of my weddings have been in Sorrento and along the Amalfi Coast.

Documentary, unposed – and nothing missed

My approach is stealthy, professional and respectful. Most of the day I photograph as a reporter, capturing candid moments as they happen, in colour and later also in black and white where it suits the image. But I also make sure every base is covered: the family groups you asked for, the details you spent months choosing, and portraits of the two of you in the most beautiful spots near your venue.

I always carry two backup cameras, multiple lenses and spare batteries, and I photograph your wedding myself. On larger weddings a second photographer can join me.

What you receive

Every wedding is different, so coverage is shaped around your day – from a few hours for the ceremony and portraits to full-day coverage from the preparations to the last dance. I also offer video on request, if you would like a film of your day alongside the photos. After your enquiry I send you my information package with all the options.

Sally Aris · Sorrento (the reviewer’s daughter’s wedding)
Having been recommended Adamo by a friend we booked him for our wedding in Sorrento. He and his team were absolutely amazing! Adamo was so professional, personal and his way he captured our special day in photos and on film was exactly what we wanted. All of our guests were impressed with his manner, humour and how he and his team interacted with us all. I cannot recommend him highly enough for capturing your wedding/event, he truly is great at his profession.
Laura · Sorrento
We booked Adamo for our destination wedding on a recommendation from a bridal forum. We could not have asked for a better photographer for the day, Adamo was polite and professional and has a magical way of capturing moments so naturally that it doesn’t even feel as though he was there. Our photos are not forced, nor staged and for that they are all the more beautiful. I continue to this day to recommend Adamo (I was a 2017 bride) and I will certainly be booking him for my vow renewal in the future. I can guarantee if you book Adamo for your ceremony, you will have no regrets, and beautiful photographs to treasure for life.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you travel outside the Amalfi Coast and Puglia?

Yes. I do most of my weddings on the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast, in Puglia, in Tuscany and in Rome. I am happy to travel anywhere in the world for a wedding.

Will you photograph our wedding yourself?

Yes. I photograph every wedding I book personally. For larger weddings a second photographer can join me for a modest extra fee.

Are the photos posed or natural?

Mostly natural. I work in a photojournalistic style and capture the day as it happens, but I also take the family groups you ask for and some relaxed portraits of the two of you in beautiful spots near your venue.
