Our experience with Francesco Fornaini Photography was exceptional from start to finish. Their communication and hospitality stood out immediately; from our initial inquiry to the final delivery of our photos, their responsiveness and attentiveness were remarkable. They took the time to understand our vision for the wedding, ensuring that every detail was covered. On our wedding day, their warm and friendly demeanor put us at ease, allowing us to be ourselves in front of the camera.

They managed to capture every significant detail, special moment, and raw emotion, all without being intrusive. The teamwork displayed was a testament to their professionalism and dedication.

The images are not only technically flawless but also artistically stunning, each one telling a unique and emotional part of our story. Francesco’s artistic flair shines through in every shot, capturing the essence of our special day in a way that felt both timeless and deeply personal.

Choosing Francesco Fornaini Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Their impeccable communication, welcoming atmosphere, synchronized teamwork, and artistic excellence made our special day even more memorable. We cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to capture their wedding day in a truly extraordinary way.

My husband and I were incredibly fortunate to have Francesco and Egla photograph our elopement. Every part of the process, before, during and after the shoot itself, surpassed our expectations. Working with them was truly the best experience we could have ever wished for.

Leading up to the day, Egla was incredibly communicative, making sure she fully understood our vision. She put great effort into researching the venue, weather, and lighting, which made us feel confident and at ease. We wanted something quite different fr om a typical elopement shoot, and she immediately grasped our vision, offering plenty of creative ideas. Even before the day arrived, we knew we had made the right choice and felt relaxed and excited, with one less thing to worry about.

On the day itself, Francesco and Egla were more like friends than photographers, helping with setup and creating a relaxed atmosphere. They captured every moment perfectly without ever being intrusive and guided us through the shoot so that we never felt awkward or uncomfortable in front of the camera. Even after the ceremony, they took us to various locations to capture some more special photographs. Despite our location being far from wh ere they are based, they put absolutely no pressure on us at all regarding the time. We could tell they really wanted to make sure they got all of the perfect photographs, even if it took a while longer.

Of course, the photos themselves are the most important part of all of this, and they are absolutely stunning. We already knew they would be as even the previews on Francesco's camera were incredible but when we received the final photographs, they took our breath away. Everyone we have shared the photos with has remarked that the photographs are absolutely incredible and that we must have had a very special photographer. By choosing Francesco, you're working with a real artist. His artistic vision and artistry far exceeded our already high expectations. This is not your typical 'wedding photographer', but a real artist in the truest sense.

Francesco and Egla are extremely kind, warm, fun and easy company and couldn't have made our special day more perfect. I could not recommend Francesco and Egla enough, and I believe that anyone that chooses them to photograph their occasion will be thrilled with their choice.

Conoscevo da tempo la grande bravura di Francesco e quindi, quando ho dovuto scegliere un fotografo per il giorno più importante da immortalare, non ho avuto dubbi! Il risultato non ha deluso le aspettative, anzi le ha superate! Le foto, realizzate miscelando perfettamente tecnica e creatività, sono bellissime e rispecchiano l'essenza della giornata, catturandola in un ricordo indelebile. Grazie di cuore.

Given that photographing our wedding would have been a great challenge for a photographer, no formalities, no classical celebration, no wedding dresses, my wife and I decided not to follow any cliches related to the wedding tradition. Francesco was first of all helpful and patient in listening empathic pandering and aligning to our personality, his joyful approach, playful and friendly put us at ease in the negotiation but especially during the wedding, the result has far exceeded our expectations. The photography of Francesco and Egla is a photograph of the soul, tells the inner world of people, in addition to the photographic result in itself that I recognize as pure art in true Italian style, It was a wonderful experience to be photographed, a real artist and as such we recognized and left free to paint his picture, happy us and guests all! We bring you in the heart.

Where to even begin with our extraordinary experience with Francesco and Egla! I stumbled upon Francesco’s work online and instantly loved the raw, moody and candid style of his wedding photography. It was so different from what I had typically seen, and I had no doubt he would capture our wedding weekend beautifully. Fast forward a year, and Francesco and Egla went above and beyond all expectations. They worked tirelessly over our 3-day wedding in Tuscany, and captured the vibe and venue perfectly (I swear we have at least one photo of every guest!). In the weeks leading up to the wedding we provided a list of inspiration photos and they followed them to a tee! Francesco has a special eye for capturing the special candid moments and plays with the contrast of light, but he has such range and also captured beautiful portraits of our families and bridal parties. My maid of honour even used them in the days leading up for a maternity photoshoot in Florence, which turned out beautifully. I can go on and on, but even to this day I speak with Egla on a regular basis. I hope to see them sooner rather than later. They truly made our wedding weekend so special and we will cherish these memories forever!

Wether you are Couple or a Planner, I would highly recommend Francesco and Egla as photographers if you want next to you on the wedding day exceptional professionals, who genuinely care about your wedding and go above and beyond to make it truly special with their incredible pictures.

Francesco and Egla photographed our wedding in Tuscany in August 2023 and we were blown away by the beautiful images they captured. On the day they were incredibly professional, friendly and fun to work with. They went above and beyond to capture a range of photos, from natural to artistic to posed, all of which were equally stunning. We've received countless complements on our gorgeous wedding photos and can't thank Francesco and Egla enough for capturing such beautiful memories that we will cherish forever.

My husband and I are beyond fortunate to have done our wedding photography with Francesco and his team. Their portfolio is cinematic and editorial style, which is exactly what we were looking for. When our wedding day finally arrived, Francesco and Egla made us feel completely at ease.

Led by Egla, the team took incredible photos throughout the whole day. Seeing Francesco become inspired with his environment and subjects told us we made the right decision. They captured our laughs, our smiles, our tears. Every planned and spontaneous moment, they got it all. Most impressively, following our ceremony they took magazine-worthy photographs of us & the wedding party walking through the very crowded summer streets of Florence. I know that could not have been easy!  

We were delighted when they delivered the full package and it was above and beyond our expectations. As artists ourselves, we really appreciated all the creative liberty they took and achieved. Their hard work encapsulated our wedding as we love to remember it by.

Francesco & Egla - you are masters of your craft!
