Photography Approach and Group Photos
When we first spoke, many months before their wedding, Charlotte and Federico were very clear that they did not want to be interrupted for posed photos during the day. I immediately reassured them, sharing my perspective on reportage photography and explaining in detail how their wedding photography would be conducted.
As I always do, I also suggested taking a few minutes for some group photos, selecting only the closest people, so as not to take too much time from the day. I truly believe that even in a completely spontaneous reportage, having these two slightly more “guided” moments makes a real difference.
It is simply a matter of being quick and efficient, so as not to interrupt the natural flow of the day. When it comes to memories, nothing should be taken lightly, especially because the way we perceive images changes over time. If I can capture a few extra photos of grandparents, I am happy, because I know they will never be unnecessary.
With plenty of time available, taking just five minutes to capture an image we might one day wish we had is not such a big sacrifice. Especially when the setting is an olive grove bathed in the warm light of a Tuscan sunset.
