Francesco Silvaggio Photographer | Reviews

Proposal & engagement photoshoot, July 2026, Tropea, Italy

Francesco was exceptional from start to finish. I am based in the US and was planning a surprise proposal in Tropea, a place I had never visited before and with no existing knowledge of Italian/local photographers, locations, or logistics. I initially reached out to Francesco cold, and from our very first interaction he was incredibly responsive and helpful in walking me through his portfolio, rates, and available packages. We worked together to tailor a package specifically to what I wanted, and he took the time to have an initial call with me to understand the proposal and engagement shoot plans.

What really stood out was how much local knowledge and logistical support Francesco provided throughout the planning process. Since I was organizing everything remotely, I needed as much information as possible about the locations and how the proposal could realistically be executed. Francesco provided recommendations for proposal locations throughout Tropea, including specific pins, photos of the locations, and examples of proposal photographs taken at each spot. His familiarity with the area and experience with proposals made the planning process significantly easier and gave me confidence that we were choosing the right location and approach despite having never been to Tropea.

On the day itself, Francesco was extremely flexible and professional. We communicated throughout the day, including adjusting the schedule in real time when I was running behind. He also brought an assistant photographer who contributed significantly to capturing different perspectives and supporting the shoot.

The final product exceeded our expectations. Everything was delivered as outlined in the contract, and Francesco even provided more photographs than the contracted quantity. The quality and creativity of the images were outstanding, particularly the use of natural light, depth of field, foreground and background composition, and the vibrant colors of Tropea. His photographic style was exactly what I had hoped for, and my fiancée absolutely loved the final photographs.

This was also during peak wedding and photography season in Tropea, yet Francesco was able to accommodate us, execute the plan seamlessly, and deliver a genuinely beautiful result. From helping me navigate the planning process remotely to being flexible on the day and ultimately delivering an exceptional set of photographs, Francesco provided far more than photography alone. We could not be happier with the experience or the final result and would highly recommend Francesco to anyone looking for a photographer in Italy, especially for proposals, engagements, and weddings.

We couldn’t have chosen a better photographer for our wedding. His professionalism was impeccable from the very first meeting to the delivery of the photos: always punctual, organized, and attentive to every detail.
Throughout the entire day we felt welcomed and cared for, never uncomfortable. He made us feel at ease with incredible naturalness, capturing genuine emotions and spontaneous moments that we can now relive every time we look at our photos

Francesco did an amazing job for our elopement in Amsterdam! We're grateful he was able to fly in for a weekend in summer for the photoshoot. We felt comfortable with him instantly, and he provided lots of tips in posing and captured candid moments. He also put a lot of work in researching nice spots in Amsterdam to take us for the photoshoot. The photos speak for themselves! I would highly recommend him for your next special event!

After almost getting crazy trying to find our photographer we found Francesco and it was love at first sight with his work. It wasn't just the quality; it was something truly unique and special.
He was so committed since the first moment trying to help us with everything.
We got married in Lecce, and he traveled from Rome for us, making our day wonderful with his friendly and professional approach. He also did his best to work within our budget. I wholeheartedly recommend his services as well as his team.

Abbiamo scelto Francesco Silvaggio per il nostro matrimonio e non potevamo fare scelta migliore!
Professionale, discreto e sempre presente nei momenti giusti. Le foto sono emozionanti, naturali e curate in ogni dettaglio, mentre il video è semplicemente meraviglioso: racconta la giornata con grande sensibilità, facendoci rivivere ogni emozione ogni volta che lo riguardiamo.
Un vero professionista capace di trasformare un giorno speciale in ricordi indelebili. Consigliatissimo!

We couldn’t be happier with Francesco Silvaggio Photography! From our first conversation, Francesco was professional, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. On the day of our wedding, he made us feel completely at ease and captured everything so naturally—nothing felt staged or forced.
The photos are absolutely stunning and truly tell the story of our day. He captured the big, emotional moments as well as the beautiful little details we didn’t even notice at the time. Every image is timeless, artistic, and full of emotion.
We’ve received so many compliments on our photos, and we will treasure them forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, passionate, and genuinely invested in your memories, we highly recommend Francesco Silvaggio Photography!

Unbelievable, just that! Even seen his work online I just couldn't believe that he would do a great work, so he came all the way to Rio de Janeiro and I can say for sure that I was wrong..

I'm perfecionist and not an easy client to glad, but Francesco's work is astonishing. There's some photographers out there that have great photos, but are terrible comunicating or just do the work fast and goes away

Franchesco he not just has the best eye for photos, but he is human, a good listener and the most important he's an excelent human being to be around!

Thanks Francesco, hope we see again soon.. Was a pleasure have you in my weading
