"Out of passion for about 10 years, but 6 years ago, I opened my business as a wedding photographer," she recalls. It was a leap of faith, but one that has been rewarded a thousandfold by the privilege of witnessing and capturing some of the most intimate and profound moments in people's lives.
Carolina's approach is meticulous, eschewing the convenient shortcuts of AI-assisted post-processing in favor of handcrafting each image to her exacting standards.

"I always talk to my clients," she emphasizes. "I try to understand what they like, creating a mood board is essential, and what they expect from my experience."
While her portfolio spans destinations worldwide, Carolina's heart remains tethered to the breathtaking landscapes of her native Italy. Her images from this enchanting country possess an ethereal quality, capturing the essence of la dolce vita in a manner that leaves viewers yearning for more.
"I am a destination wedding photographer, and my favorite destination is staying in the beautiful country, Italy," she confesses with a wistful smile. "But I love to travel though, I'm available all over the world."
With an intentional cap on the number of weddings she undertakes each year, Carolina ensures that every couple receives her undivided attention and the utmost dedication to their special day. "About 15 per year," she affirms. "To better focus on each of them."
Her work transcends mere documentation, instead weaving a tapestry of emotions that will be cherished for generations to come. Typically for a wedding, she provides 10 to 12 hours of coverage. But it's not just about the hours; it's about being present, anticipating the moments that matter, and capturing them in a way that tells the story of that day in all its beauty and complexity.
