Behind the soft, evocative imagery of Ilaria&Andrea stand two kindred spirits: Ilaria and Andrea themselves. More than photographers, they are partners in life and in art, weaving visual stories of love across Italy and Europe for over 14 years.

“What we create is not just a gallery of photos. It’s a visual story, made of small gestures, honest light, and quiet elegance, always with an expert eye guiding the flow when needed.”

Since the beginning, they have worked side by side, building a practice rooted in intuition, trust, and an unspoken understanding of how to capture the essence of a wedding day.

Over a Decade of Preserving What Truly Matters

With over a decade in the wedding world, Ilaria and Andrea approach every celebration with fresh eyes. To them, each couple is a new canvas—each setting a chance to witness how love moves.

“Our role is to protect the mood of the day, while quietly shaping moments into lasting, beautiful memories.”

Years of experience have refined their ability to be present yet unobtrusive, gently guiding when needed and stepping back when the moment is perfect on its own.

A Signature Style: Refined, Emotional, Timeless

So what makes an Ilaria&Andrea gallery unmistakable? It’s the softness, the warmth, the fluid way they frame genuine connection. Their style dances between candid intimacy and subtle direction, ensuring couples never feel stiff yet always look effortlessly beautiful.

“Many of our clients tell us they recognized our work immediately—a certain softness, warmth, or framing that felt uniquely ours.”

They believe in following light and movement, capturing real emotions while offering gentle cues that help their couples feel calm and truly themselves.

Tools Chosen for Silence and Respect

Unlike many, Ilaria&Andrea have made an intentional choice in their equipment. Since 2017, they have trusted Sony mirrorless cameras paired with luminous lenses. But the secret is not just image quality—it’s the silence.

“The shutter is completely silent. You won’t hear a sound when we shoot.”

No intrusive clicks, no distracting flashes—just two artists moving discreetly through the day, preserving atmosphere and emotion with total grace.

Editing: The Final Whisper of the Story

To Ilaria and Andrea, post-processing is far more than technical work—it’s the closing chapter of a love story. Every image is hand-edited by them, with the same tenderness they bring to the wedding itself.

“Our process is soft and refined: we enhance the light, perfect the tones and give each image a timeless feel. Our goal is to preserve not just how things looked, but how they felt.”

The True Joy: Seeing What Others Might Miss

For this talented pair, photography is more than capturing images—it’s a gift back to their couples: a way to see their day through eyes of empathy and artistry.

“Moments that might go unnoticed—a glance, a laugh, a pause—become precious when seen with the right eyes.”

This belief shapes how they work: never controlling the day, always protecting its meaning.

Collaboration Built on Listening and Trust

No two weddings are alike—something Ilaria&Andrea hold sacred. Their process starts with listening and continues with quiet guidance, so couples feel supported yet free to be themselves.

“We know when to offer direction, in a calm, kind and confident way and when to simply let things unfold.”

Custom proposals are crafted for each couple, reflecting their unique vision and rhythm. Flexibility, clarity and heartfelt care are constants in everything they do.

Advice for Couples: Presence Over Perfection

For those stepping in front of their lens, Ilaria and Andrea’s advice is wonderfully simple: trust, relax, and surround yourself with love.

“You don’t have to know how to pose—that’s our job. Be present and trust the people you’ve chosen.”

Inspired by Places, Defined by Feelings

From sunlit vineyards to castles by the sea, they have documented love stories throughout Italy and Europe—Paris, the Dalmatian coast, the English countryside, and beyond.

Yet for them, it’s never just about the destination.

“In the end, it’s not about the place, it’s about the feeling you bring to it. That’s what inspires us.”

More Than a Photographer—A Gentle Guardian of Memories

As the interview closes, one thing is clear: choosing Ilaria&Andrea is choosing a presence—calm, watchful, devoted. They don’t just witness your wedding day; they protect its spirit and let you relive it as beautifully as it happened.

“We move quietly, but we’re always there, with empathy, precision and vision. And years from now, when you look back, we want you to feel not just how it looked, but how it truly felt.”
