Italian Lakes Wedding Blog - Destination Weddings Italy

Over the last years in the area of wedding photography the style of photojournalism in particular has become more and more trendy and fashionable. Photojournalism significates spontaneity and naturalness. It also means to tell the story of the wedding day through images exactly the way it evolved without constrain and fiction, mainly avoiding those posed pictures which make couple and guests look like imbalmated mummies.
The photographer Raffaello Mazzoleni is without doubt one of the leading exponents of the specific sector in wedding photography at the Italian Lakes district.
Only recently Raffaello has updated his Photo Gallery at www.italianweddingphotojournalist.com
This new photo gallery currently disposes of 60 extraordinary images in genuine photojournalism style.That means many little shots of stolen moments, discretely done with great experience during weddings he worked at over the last months.
Those images capture joy, emotion and those special intense gasps, sometimes funny and entertaining expressions too. In a few words, in these images the wedding day gets narrated very authentically and spontaneously in a rare unique and innovative way.
Absolutely not to be missed!

For our wedding in Stresa and Isola dei Pescatori - Lake Maggiore - we had special ideas of the art of photos. The photos should be taken very natural, many close-ups and moment-shoots from us but also from all our guests.
By good references we found Estella & Diego. Young, very nice and friendly and all the time professional they accompanied us the whole day – up from the early morning by dressing up until the wedding-dance at night. As they work as a Duo they take photos with two aspects. Both are working with a lot of passion, special feelings to catch the rights moments and a lot of gorgeous details. Their manner of work is very discreet, like chameleons. We and none of our guests had never the situation of being disturbed in close moments and it was fun having them around us.
The result of their work was breathtaking – and we are very, very happy and thankful to had them as our photographers. After 2 months we are looking the photos quiet often and keep these beautiful memories of our important day in our hearts – and images!

A good photographer is of major importance both during and after your event; you should choose it carefully to avoid any disappointment.
You would want someone that can relax you while shooting and can establish a good connection with your guests to make sure that they enjoy being photographed and look natural in the pictures.

Listed below are a few tips that might help you shortlist the most talented ones:

• Bored with the usual cheesy shots? Search beyond wedding photographers if you are looking for cool and stylish images. Many fashion and lifestyle photographers can normally be hired for important events as well…and what is more important than your special day? Fashion photographers are great when it comes to portraits of you getting ready and walking around in your gorgeous wedding gown…lifestyle ones are ideal for parties and their pictures are bound to reflect the magic atmosphere of your reception!
• Do not splash on decoration while saving on a photographer by trusting the ability of friends and family (unless they are professionals). The photos are the only lasting memories of your day, you will be sharing them with your children and grandchildren in the years to come and you just want them to be perfect. Top photographers do charge a lot for a reason…years and years of experience that provided them with a great eye and the ability to play with the light.
• Search the Internet to come up with an initial list of names, look at their websites and pick the ones that grab your attention. Contact them, ask them to send you their portfolio and prices but most importantly meet them in person to test the chemistry you have with them.
