Julianna and Cameron reached out to me last year w

Julianna and Cameron reached out to me last year while looking for a wedding photographer in Rome. From the very beginning, it was clear they were not after anything traditional. Instead of a fixed venue, they chose to move through bars and cafés around Piazza Navona with their closest people, all the way from the US.

It became one of those evenings where everything feels alive in a quiet, unrepeatable way. Nothing forced, nothing staged. Just people, movement, and the city unfolding around us.

I still think about Julianna’s father and his jokes before the dinner at Ripa Grande. The way everyone laughed, the way it loosened the room before his speech. It is one of those moments that stays with you longer than the photographs themselves.

I shot the day both on digital and 35mm film, moving between the two without thinking too much about it. Some moments ask for the immediacy of digital, others settle better into film. This is a mix of both, just as the day was.

In this series of analogue photographs, you’ll find fragments I gathered between late winter and early spring in Italy. I carried my Leica M6, Contax G2 and Yashica T4, but more than that, I carried time. What you see here is a visual diary of encounters. And an attempt to match colors with feeling, to follow an emotional rhythm that shifts quietly from frame to frame. Some lasted a second, some stayed with me longer.

We met early, when the streets were still quiet enough to take our time. Charleen and Julian were a little tired, still recovering from the night before, trying just about every Roman dish in one go. So we kept things simple. No long walks, no fixed route. Just staying around the Colosseum, moving slowly, stopping whenever something felt right.

At some point, I asked Charleen to spin a little, just to catch some air in the dress. Nothing planned. It turned into one of those moments where movement does more than posing ever could. We paused after a while. A short break, a change of clothes, and then the Vespa. It wasn’t part of the original plan, but it fit naturally into the rhythm of the morning. No direction, no pressure. Just the two of them moving through the city, finding their balance.

This maternity photoshoot in Rome wasn’t about covering locations. It was about keeping things light, letting moments happen, and not forcing anything. I photographed everything using both digital and 35mm film. Some frames are clean, others a bit softer, slightly imperfect. I like that contrast. It feels closer to how the morning actually was. If you’re looking for a film photographer in Rome, or simply want something natural and unforced, this is how I usually work.

A morning in Florence with Gina and Kyle, captured

A morning in Florence with Gina and Kyle, captured on film.

They came for their honeymoon, carrying that quiet excitement of being somewhere new together. When Gina first wrote to me about a couple photoshoot in Florence, Italy, her enthusiasm was already there. You may already know the rest of the story from my previous post, where I shared only the digital images.

Everything you see here was photographed on film. The imperfections, the softness, the colours, they all belong to that process. This is what draws me to analogue photography and why I choose to work as a film photographer in Florence and across Italy.

It was a good day, not only for the photos, but for everything in between. As a wedding and film photographer in Florence, these are the kind of days I keep coming back to. Quiet, simple, and real.

I had such a good time photographing these two, or maybe I should say three, since they arrived with their baby on the way, just a few months from meeting the world.

They didn’t give me much of a brief. It was simply “we’re getting married, come photograph us.” All they wanted was to feel natural and sincere in the photos.

They kept me laughing both during their wedding in Tivoli and throughout our shoot in Rome. On the wedding day, the groom was carrying the quiet stress of organizing everything, while the bride was on a mission to find a non-alcoholic beer whenever she got thirsty.

Instead of having a wedding back in Turkey, they chose to bring their closest friends with them and get married here in Italy. It felt simple, honest, and very much their own.

As a wedding photographer in Tivoli and Rome, I documented their day on both digital and 35mm film, following things as they naturally unfolded.

A morning in Florence with Gina and Kyle.

They came for their honeymoon, carrying that quiet excitement of being somewhere new together. When Gina first wrote to me about doing a couple photoshoot in Florence, Italy, her enthusiasm was already there.

We met over coffee at Ditta Artigianale and started walking, slowly, letting the city guide us. Good light, empty corners, reflections, small pauses.

At some point, strawberries appeared. Gina was happy. Kyle joined in, maybe more for her than for the fruit. It worked. While we were passing in front of a small pizzeria for a few shots, the Italian version of CCTV made its appearance, an elderly nonna watching us carefully from her window upstairs. Somewhere near Ponte Vecchio, I gave him my Contax G2. He photographed her, I photographed them. The moment shifted, became something shared rather than observed.

As we moved through the streets, people kept saying “Auguri!”. At first they were shy, then they leaned into it. Florence has a way of pulling you into the scene whether you expect it or not.

We ended the morning at Piazzale Michelangelo, sitting on the stairs, with a beer, a spritz, and conversations about life, politics, art, food. I photographed the day using both digital and analogue cameras. What you see here is from the digital set, except for the opening photo. I’ll share the film photographs in a separate post. It was a good day, not only for the photos, but for everything in between. As a wedding photographer based in Italy, these are the kind of days I find myself returning to. Quiet, simple, and real.

A few more frames lingering from the winter months

A few more frames lingering from the winter months. I met new people, wandered through Rome with a friend visiting from Germany, found myself at the opening of a new wine bar, photographed young lovers, and became one of the curious eyes drifting through a flea market. Somewhere in between, I got my heart broken again and, as always, found myself back on the streets with my camera.

Analogue photographs have a way of arriving late, as if they are gently catching up with us. I’ve always been drawn to that rhythm. Waiting for them carries the quiet excitement of a child standing before a Christmas tree, sensing that something meaningful is already there, just not yet revealed.

A quiet note from a film photographer in Rome, still learning how to wait.

rome in winter, some days with snow in the mountai

rome in winter, some days with snow in the mountains, some days by the lake in villa borghese with couples in love, and some days simply life with friends.

these past months have been a mix of memories and work. walks, travels, conversations, and a few quiet moments behind my film camera. some of these photos are mine, some were taken by friends, but all of them belong to the same rhythm of life i’ve been living lately.

rome continues to surprise me. light changes every hour, every street corner feels different on film. and every couple brings their own story into the frame.
if you’re looking for a film photographer in rome, this is how i usually see the city.
