ABOUT
Born and raised in Como, Italy.
Living in San Francisco, California.
Traveling the world with you.
ME, LILLY.
I am a professional wedding photographer. I am a wife and I am a mama to a big bear dog named Peppa. I found photography as a long lost calling. I always had the passion to grab my camera and photograph my adventures and the beautiful nature and scenes around me. Photographing my first wedding in Italy changed me. I fell in love with this creative world and positive energy that I chose to only focus on the things that brought me happiness. I left my job and my home and ventured out in the world to pursue my dream with all of my efforts.
I live in the magical city of San Francisco but I was born and raised in Italy (and I even spent time living in Qatar). I miss my home and family but I love my life in California. I speak English with my Italian accent. If I am not with my camera in my hands, then you can find me baking a torta, an Italian style cake.
My photography service is not complete unless it is with my second photographer and husband. He can see what I see. He knows the style and scenes that complement me. He knows where to be even before I have to tell him. And documenting love with the person you are in love with makes everything more satisfying and meaningful. He left his electrical engineering career so that he can work with me full-time, we both put all of ourselves inside what we do and love it.
MY PHOTOGRAPHIC SELF.
My photography style is always growing. I’m able to develop my style based on the most important things I love in life: weddings, travel, design, nature, fashion, and art.
I am always inspired by the beauty of the great outdoors. I love being surrounded by nature.
I grew up in Italy flipping through magazines like Vogue, Elle and Glamour everyday. I used to go to Milan every weekend and I would walk around and day dream in busy city; now I bring those memories with me everywhere I go.
Sometimes I feel like a fashion photographer inside the body of a wedding photographer. This is why I am able to create vibrant photos with editorial feelings but still remember the emotional moments that come from you.
I would describe my photographic self as: Editorial, Ethereal, Effortless.
MY PROCESS.
I try not to pose my couples, I really try to capture the moment as it happens and I will give you direction when needed (that’s my job). It’s so important that you get to be your fun, romantic, playful, quirky selves and I’m there to capture that. I really see this as a collaboration between us and probably the most important part of having amazing photographs is having the right chemistry between you and me, this way we’re comfortable with each other and everything just clicks.
I always encourage you to remember how you interact when you are alone, and don’t hide it, that allows me to capture you as you are. Embrace both the goofy laughter and the quiet vulnerability. I will guide you through all of this but I need you to meet me halfway and allow me to see your intimacy.
THE TEAM
TOGETHER
Together we can climb mountains. Together we can brave the storm. Together we can stay warm in the rain. Together we can inspire each other. Together we can collaborate. Together we can create. Together we can be ourselves. Together we can get lost in the moment.
