In the heart of Italy’s timeless beauty, where emotion meets artistry, stands Nucleika—one of the most respected photography studios in the country. Founded by Luis Renzi and Alessandra Sciarrone, this creative duo has spent over two decades capturing weddings not only as visual records but as emotional legacies.
With a background steeped in fine art and commercial photography, Luis and Alessandra bring more than just technical skill to the table—they bring soul.
Our journey began with a shared passion for storytelling, aesthetics, and the human connection behind every image.
Their ability to blend artistic vision with precision is what has made Nucleika a beloved name, not just in Italy, but across Europe.
The story of Nucleika is a story of balance: art and technology, creativity and discipline, emotion and elegance.
"Over the years, we’ve cultivated a distinct style rooted in authenticity, emotion, and refined composition."
Luis and Alessandra’s entry into the wedding world was driven by their love for real, unscripted moments. From capturing editorials to brand stories, weddings naturally became the heart of their work.
"Today, Nucleika is proud to be considered a leading name in Italian photography, known not only for our visual signature but also for the lasting relationships we build with the people we photograph."
One look at Nucleika’s portfolio and it becomes instantly clear: theirs is a language of feeling.
"Our photographic style is a distinctive blend of reportage, fashion, and wedding aesthetics."
There’s a cinematic quality in their images, but nothing feels forced. The spontaneity of real moments is elevated by their editorial eye, creating visuals that are both timeless and contemporary.
"We approach each event with the eye of a storyteller, capturing genuine, unscripted moments as they unfold."
Nucleika’s visual excellence is underpinned by a commitment to using top-tier tools.
"That’s why we rely exclusively on Canon’s top-of-the-line professional equipment, ensuring the highest image quality, reliability, and performance in every setting."
From the versatile Canon 24–70mm to the dreamy 50mm f/1.2, every piece of gear in their bag serves an intentional purpose. Redundancy and preparation are also key:
"We also carry dual camera setups, redundant backups, and use high-speed CFexpress cards to guarantee performance and security throughout the day."
While their equipment is state-of-the-art, their approach to editing is refreshingly minimalist.
"Our editing style is clean, timeless, and respectful of the natural beauty of each photograph."
Instead of relying on heavy filters or trendy presets, they stay true to the emotion of the moment.
"Skin tones remain natural, textures are gently refined, and the overall mood reflects the atmosphere we experienced on the day."
What keeps Luis and Alessandra inspired after 20 years in the industry?
What I enjoy most about being a photographer is the privilege of witnessing and preserving real, human emotion.
"It’s not just about capturing beauty—though beauty is everywhere—but about capturing truth, connection, and emotion in a way that feels honest and timeless."
Photography for them isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence. The quiet, intimate moments that become priceless over time.
At the heart of Nucleika’s process is a deep respect for their clients. Their work is rooted in connection and understanding.
"My approach to working with clients is rooted in listening, trust, and collaboration."
From the first meeting to the final delivery, Luis and Alessandra are fully engaged with their couples.
"Every couple is unique, and my goal is to create images that reflect their personalities, emotions, and style—authentically and beautifully."
Nucleika understands that weddings are deeply personal, and their service reflects that.
"Yes, absolutely. I believe that every couple and every wedding is unique, so I’m always happy to create custom packages tailored to your specific needs."
This bespoke approach allows couples to feel seen, heard, and celebrated.
When asked what advice they have for clients preparing for their wedding shoot, the answer is simple:
"Be yourselves – The most beautiful photos come from real emotions and genuine moments. Don’t worry about being perfect—just focus on being present and enjoying the experience."
And of course, trust plays a vital role:
Trust your photographer.
Nucleika doesn’t just shoot across Italy—they travel for love.
"Whether working in the heart of Sicily or traveling across Europe, our mission remains the same: to create timeless images that speak to the soul."
From Tuscan hills to coastal France, every location is approached with fresh eyes and deep appreciation.
With Nucleika, it’s never just about taking pictures. It’s about building something lasting—images that resonate, that evoke, that endure. Their work is a testament to the idea that photography, at its best, is a collaboration between heart and craft.
"Every couple, every light, every scene is different—and that constant variety keeps me inspired."
And for Luis and Alessandra, the story is far from over.
