Hello, I’m Marianna, a wedding photographer, and today I want to tell you about a special wedding that I had the honor of capturing. I really wanted to share Fabrizio and Elisa’s special day because it wasn’t a typical Italian wedding.Keep reading to find out why. September has become the most beautiful month to get married, and this wedding proves it: a warm but not too hot day, gorgeous sunshine , an equally stunning sunset, and the gentle Umbrian hills as a backdrop. But why wasn’t it a traditional wedding? Let’s start with the preparations: the couple was getting ready in the same house (+1 untraditional wedding)! They never, ever, ever saw each other. But with just a few steps, I was able to capture Fabrizio’s preparations and then Elisa’s. Their children played a central role, helping their dad throughout the preparations. Elisa, on the other hand, was surrounded by all her wonderful friends. The ceremony was very beautiful, as Fabrizio and Elisa had a church full of friends and family witnessing their special day. The emotion was palpable throughout the wedding, also thanks to Don Hamaresh, who always knows how to touch hearts with his words. For the couple’s photos, we decided to stop in the beautiful countryside near the Church of San Felice and also take advantage of the stunning Lake Trasimeno. The lake was a key element: it was actually the theme of the wedding. And you’ll soon find out why. The celebration continued at Ristorante La Cantina in the center of Castiglione del Lago. Let’s start with the couple’s entrance… Elisa arrived in a wheelbarrow carried by Fabrizio (+2 untraditional wedding)! Right from the start, I understood the importance of the lake: the centerpieces were small aquariums with fish from Lake Trasimeno (+3 untraditional wedding)! From that moment on, there wasn’t a single pause—between jokes, dancing, and fun, Fabrizio and Elisa celebrated with friends and family. But the most unique feature was… a tattoo artist available for guests to create small live tattoos during the evening (+4 untraditional wedding)! In conclusion, Fabrizio and Elisa’s wedding in Umbria was truly a dream for a photographer like me. The beauty of the location, the joy of the couple, and the positive energy of the guests made this wedding unforgettable . Would you like to see the full story of Fabrizio and Elisa’s wedding?

Hi, I’m Marianna, a family photographer, and today I’d love to share with you Letizia’s newborn photo session—a story I had the pleasure of capturing with my heart and camera. The photographs taken during this special time will become an everlasting memory of this brand-new life. January gifted us a sweet start to the year: the newborn photo session of little Letizia. Just a few days old, barely a handful of hours cradled by the world, Letizia welcomed us with her delicate presence and that unique sense of peace only newborns can bring. Every shot became a piece of magic, an eternal memory wrapped in a breath of light. As always, for this kind of session, I take a gentle and respectful approach that follows the baby’s rhythm. We took all the time we needed to cuddle, feed, change, and most of all—listen to the needs of our little star. Patience is the secret ingredient to capturing authentic, serene images . Letizia was wide awake for most of the session, treating us to big-eyed gazes, heart-shaped lips, and hands posed with grace. We chose soft, warm neutrals, natural fabrics, and simple, cozy setups that enhanced her delicate beauty . Her tiny fingers, curled-up toes, the softness of her cheeks—each detail tells the story of a life just beginning . In the arms of her mom and dad, Letizia looked even smaller. There is something deeply poetic in the fragility of the first days and in the quiet strength of the bond that holds a new family together . And that’s exactly what I aim to capture: genuine, intimate emotions that last forever. Photographing newborns is an immense privilege. To quietly step into the very first days of a new life, to document every precious detail with love and discretion—this goes far beyond just “taking beautiful pictures.” It’s about telling a story that is only just beginning. Thank you to Letizia’s parents for opening their hearts to me. And thank you, Letizia, for reminding us —on a cold January day— just how powerful and radiant the sweetness of life can be .

Hi, I'm Marianna and I'm a family photographer and today I would like to share the wait for the little S. that I had the tresure to narrate. The photos made during this special moment are going to be a unique memory of this chapter of the life. We decided to create this outdoor session in the heart of the Umbrian countryside, during a unique moment of the day: sunset. The backdrop was Lake Trasimeno , and the warmth of the sunset added a touch of magic to every instant.It was truly special to witness such a unique and moving spectacle. The surrounding landscape was stunning . Lake Trasimeno stretched vibrantly behind us, a cool breeze heralded the arrival of winter, and the gentle light of the autumn sun framed this scene of love and anticipation. Michela and Renato were the perfect protagonists : after a few moments of shyness, they opened up, showing me all their love and the excitement of welcoming a new life. Michela, with her sweet baby bump, had a special glow, a natural beauty that radiated love and emotion. On the other hand, in Renato, you could already see the desire to touch and protect his child. The highlight of the day came when the sun began to set and hide behind the tree branches, brushing the horizon. We moved to an intimate and secluded spot, where Michela and Renato let themselves go even more, revealing all their emotions. Every photograph captured during this maternity session tells a story— a story of love, anticipation, and growth . Lake Trasimeno, with its timeless beauty, was the perfect accomplice to immortalize these precious moments. I hope these images convey to you the magic I experienced that afternoon. Maternity photography goes beyond simply capturing images; it is the creation of tangible memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. Are you expecting your little one?
