Italy wedding photographer

Refined & natural photography
with a touch of poetry

I photograph weddings for couples who want elegant, luminous images with an editorial feel, and a calm, reassuring experience throughout.

Whether you’re celebrating in a villa, a historic city, or the countryside, my goal is to document your day with honesty, beauty, and timelessness.

My approach
as a wedding photographer

Portrait de la photographe Clémence Aresu

Natural moments,
elevated portraits

I focus on real emotion and the atmosphere of your day: the in-between moments, the energy of your guests, the details you chose with intention.
For portraits, I use gentle direction and simple prompts so you look and feel like yourselves: relaxed, connected, and confident.

A smooth experience for destination couples
Planning from abroad can feel overwhelming. I keep the process simple: clear communication, timeline guidance, and a calm presence on the day. If your wedding spans multiple locations or days, I’ll help you think through what matters most visually.

How I photograph
your wedding day in Italy

getting ready

I often start with photographing your accessories: your dress, stationery, jewellery, and then the atmosphere with your closest friends and family when you are getting dressed. It’s a gentle way to ease into the day and capture the anticipation.

Ceremony

Whether you’re having a civil ceremony, a church wedding or an outdoor ceremony at a château, I focus on the key moments: your entrance, vows, reactions, and all the little gestures between you and your guests.

Cocktail hour

During the cocktail hour, I alternate between candid moments with your guests and a few family and couple portraits, often in the gardens or vineyards depending on your venue.

Evening

I stay for the dinner, speeches, first dance and the beginning of the party, so you can remember not only how everything looked, but how it felt.

Why Italy is a perfect place for an effortless wedding

Italy has a distinct visual signature that turns a wedding into something truly cinematic, sun-warmed stone villages, timeworn facades, rows of cypress trees, and that honey-gold light that drifts across the hills at the end of the day.

What I love photographing here isn’t only the scenery; it’s the way texture, color, and atmosphere naturally carry emotion and meaning.

I can anticipate how the light changes from quiet mornings to glowing aperitivo hours, and I know how to use these natural elements to frame your story, whether you’re exchanging vows in a Tuscan vineyard, celebrating in a Lake Como villa, or dancing beneath strings of lights in a rustic masseria, capturing it all with elegance, authenticity, and soul.

Getting married in Italy
some areas I love

Italy offers a huge variety of atmospheres and each calls for a different rhythm and light.

A few places that photograph beautifully:

Florence and Tuscany

Tuscany is an area in Italy known for its incredible landscapes: stunning light, rolling hills, vineyards and olive groves. It’s a perfect place for an intimate, natural and traditional wedding. You can find charming venues like Borgo San Pietro, Castiglion del Bosco, Villa Montanare or Villa Cetinale.

Lake Como

Lake Como is a magical place in Italy where you can find peaceful and elegant lakeside venues. Most of them are refined Villas with beautiful enchanting gardens, like Villa Balbiano, Villa Sola Cabiati, Villa del Balbianello and Villa d’Este.

Almafi Coast

The Almafi coast is a relaxed, sunny and colorful place near the Mediterranean Sea. It’s also known for its lemons, their yellow color reflects joy and fun! The most famous venues in this area are for example the Belmond Hôtel Caruso and Villa Cimbrone.

"Her ability to transform ordinary moments into something truly magical is extraordinary"

From the first moment we laid eyes on Clemence’s stunning portfolio, we knew she was the perfect photographer to capture our special day. Her ability to transform ordinary moments into something truly magical through her photography is nothing short of extraordinary. The soft pastel hues she uses, combined with her meticulous attention to detail, created a visual narrative that we will cherish forever.

Clemence’s organisation and foresight leading up to our wedding were invaluable. Her keen eye for design and beauty ensured that every shot was not just a photograph, but a work of art. We are immensely grateful that she was there to document such an important day for us.

Beyond her remarkable talent, it is Clemence’s kindness that truly touched our hearts. Her patience and genuine interest in getting to know us made the entire experience feel personal and special.

"She made everyone feel comfortable with her warm and welcoming smile, and calm approach"

Wow, what can I say about Clémence’s talent? My husband and I recently had the wedding of our dreams in France, where we were so luckily accompanied by Clémence, who captured our day perfectly. From the moment we met, she made everyone feel comfortable with her warm and welcoming smile, and calm approach.

We put all of our trust into Clémence and it certainly paid off because our photos (which we received after only 2 weeks!) helped us relive our perfect day from start to finish. The photos were well organised, from the ‘getting ready’ process, to the ceremony and party. The files were easily accessible which made it straightforward for us to send to our guests, whom were all in tears again!

We can only recommend everyone to use Clémence for their big day, you won’t regret it!

"She is kind, gracious and very passionate about her work"

Clemence was absolutely amazing! I would recommend her to anyone. She took time to understand what we wanted and executed it beautifully.

She is kind, gracious and very passionate about her work. Not to mention that the photos turned out perfect. We are very appreciative of her capturing such a special day so wonderfully.
