Few places in the world radiate romance like the Amalfi Coast, and few photographers capture its essence quite like Andrea Gallucci. With a signature blend of editorial artistry and spontaneous emotion, Andrea has become a sought-after name in luxury wedding photography. His journey, philosophy, and passion for visual storytelling shine through in every frame. We sat down with Andrea to dive into his creative process and what makes his work truly timeless.
Born and raised in Ravello, Andrea Gallucci discovered his passion for photography at the age of 15. “I have been passionate about photography since 2002, when I first picked up a camera,” he shares. “I started with landscapes, drawn to the beauty of nature, and over time, I found myself increasingly captivated by people and their stories.”
His first experience with wedding photography came in 2009, an opportunity that would shape his career forever. However, it wasn’t until 2014 that Andrea fully committed to weddings as his professional path. “Since then, I have been dedicated to capturing love stories in an authentic and timeless way, constantly refining my craft and immersing myself in the beauty of weddings and elopements around the world.”
Andrea’s artistic vision is rooted in a seamless blend of editorial aesthetics and documentary storytelling. “My approach is deeply editorial, blending storytelling with a keen eye for candid, unscripted moments.” His work is distinguished by its softness, minimalism, and elegance, all while maintaining a sense of spontaneity.
Observation plays a crucial role in his process. “I believe that true beauty lies in the quiet, in-between moments that reveal the essence of my subjects.” By working predominantly with natural light, Andrea embraces its unpredictability to craft evocative, timeless imagery.
For Andrea, the magic of wedding photography lies in the connections he forms. “What I enjoy most about being a photographer is the opportunity to meet new people from all over the world and be part of unique and unforgettable moments.” Each wedding, proposal, or love story is an opportunity to document raw emotions, cultural nuances, and deeply personal narratives. “It’s an incredible privilege to witness and capture these milestones, preserving them as timeless memories.”
A strong advocate for Sony cameras, Andrea relies on:

Sony a7IV with a Sony 85mm GM II
His post-processing approach is minimalist yet meticulous. “Just color retouch,” he states simply, ensuring that the authenticity of the moment is never compromised.
Andrea’s collaboration with couples begins long before the wedding day. “My approach to working with clients is centered on communication, trust, and a shared vision.” A video call is always the first step, allowing him to understand a couple’s expectations, preferences, and inspirations.
To further refine their vision, Andrea asks his couples to create a Pinterest board showcasing key elements they’d love to incorporate. “This helps me align my artistic approach with their desires while also addressing any doubts or concerns they may have.”
On the wedding day, his priority is ensuring his couples feel at ease. “I encourage couples to trust my creative and artistic eye, allowing me to capture moments in the most authentic and meaningful way.”
Understanding that no two weddings are the same, Andrea offers customizable photography packages. “I offer a selection of carefully curated packages designed to suit different needs, but I also understand that every couple and love story is unique.”
Should a couple wish for a more bespoke experience, Andrea is happy to accommodate. “If a couple wishes to have a tailor-made package, I’m more than happy to discuss their specific requests and suggest a personalized solution that aligns with their vision.”
Andrea’s biggest recommendation? Enjoy the moment. “My biggest recommendation is to fully enjoy your wedding day—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event, and it should be all about you.”
He also emphasizes the importance of trust. “The best photos come from genuine emotions, spontaneous moments, and a relaxed mindset.”
“For stunning results, teamwork is essential. As your photographer, I will guide you, find the best light, and capture your love story in an authentic and beautiful way, but your collaboration is just as important. Trust the process, be present in the moment, and embrace the experience. When we work together as a team—couple and photographer—we create magic.”
Travel is an integral part of Andrea’s work, and he thrives on capturing love stories in breathtaking locations. “Yes, I absolutely love destination weddings! Traveling to capture love stories in breathtaking locations is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work.”
One place stands out among his favorites: Greece. “Greece holds a special place in my heart—I’ve visited Santorini ten times, and it remains one of my favorite wedding destinations in Europe.”
In 2024, Andrea had the opportunity to explore Iceland and Madeira. “Both have become my top choices for adventure elopements. Their dramatic landscapes, raw beauty, and unique atmosphere create the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable wedding experience.”
Still, Andrea remains open to new adventures. “Every destination has its own charm, and I truly believe that love can be beautifully captured anywhere in the world.”
Photography, for Andrea, goes far beyond simply taking pictures. “My goal is to go beyond photography—to create lasting memories, to capture fleeting emotions, and to tell love stories in a way that resonates for generations.”
His artistic philosophy, editorial finesse, and commitment to authenticity make him one of the most sought-after wedding photographers today. For couples searching for a timeless visual narrative of their love, Andrea Gallucci is a name to remember.
