Your wedding photographer AT
LA PESCAIA RESORT
La Pescaia is not a venue you simply visit, it’s one you feel. Ancient olive trees that have stood for centuries. The warm stone of Villa Tolomei at golden hour. A Tuscan landscape so still it almost holds its breath. I’ve walked this estate, studied its light and found the corners where photographs happen by themselves. I’d love to be here for yours.

about

Why La Pescaia Resort and why I’d love to photograph your wedding here.
La Pescaia Resort sits in the Maremma, the wild, quietly magnificent corner of Tuscany that most travellers overlook. That’s exactly what makes it extraordinary. There are no crowds here, no tourist noise. Just rolling hills, over six thousand ancient olive trees and the 19th-century Villa Tolomei, restored with an attention to detail that shows in every stone and every shadow.
I’ve been to La Pescaia. I’ve seen the way the late afternoon light falls through the pine trees onto the courtyard. I’ve walked the long pool, the gardens, the chapel tucked into the estate. As a photographer, what struck the most wasn’t any single spot. It was the consistency of the light. The Maremma sits between the Apennines and the sea and that geography creates something soft and golden for most of the day. Almost every frame writes itself.
MY APPROACH
Two styles. One consistent standard.
Every couple is different. So the way i photograph should feel true to who your are, not to a preset aesthetic.
Exclusive editorial
Carefully composed, light-driven imagery built for elegance. Think clean lines, architectural framing and the kind of stillness that makes a photograph feel like art.
Emotional documentary
Unposed, honest, alive. I step back and let your day unfold. Then capture the laughter, the tears and all the quiet moments in between your day.
For most of my couples at La Pescaia, my answer is both: editorial portraits during the golden hour light of Maremma and documentary storytelling throughout the day.

La Pescaia is one of the few remaining 19th-century villa-farms in Tuscany, carefully restored to preserve its authentic character. The estate offers extraordinary varity for photography: ancient olive groves, a walled chapel, stone courtyards, a long pool and gardens framed by centuries-old pines. Its location in the Maremma means a quality of light that is softer, warmer and more consistent than many better-known Tuscan venues and a privacy and stillness that larger properties simply cannot offer.
