Italian Wedding Photographer

My name is Gianmarco Amico, and I am a young Italian wedding photographer with a passion for art, fashion, and staying up-to-date with the latest trends in my country. Through my photos, I love capturing the beauty and essence of emotions and authentic moments that make each wedding unique.
I have spent years studying the Made in Italy tradition and the beauty of my country, developing a glamorous style that best represents this heritage. I am inspired by black-and-white photography, Neorealist cinema, art, and the design of vintage Italian cars. Wedding photography has become the perfect medium for expressing my artistic creativity.
In recent years, I have had the privilege of photographing couples from over 50 different nationalities, meeting people from every corner of the world.
Each wedding is unique, shaped by diverse traditions, cultures, and stories, yet all share the dream of celebrating love in this wonderful country.
Today, I live in one of the most beautiful cities in Sicily, Taormina. I speak Italian and English, I am 33 years old, and I have a decade of experience in the world of destination weddings.

I love traveling and have been exploring the world since I was a child. These experiences have allowed me to discover myself and understand what I wanted to do in life. My family has always given me the freedom to choose my own path and express my art to the fullest. Today, I am deeply grateful for their support and encouragement.

My story, the style of my photos

My father was an amateur photographer, and although I can’t call myself the son of an artist, photography has always been a part of my life. He enjoyed developing film at home and often took me along when he photographed the hills near our house or worked on his photographic projects against the pollution from coal plants. At home, film rolls and cameras were a daily presence, but my father never photographed a wedding or a model.My career began with fashion photography, and fashion still plays a significant role in my creative journey. In 2011, I photographed my first wedding in Taormina, Sicily.

At the time, I didn’t have a single wedding image in my portfolio, but I had received an important recognition from National Geographic for landscape photography. Despite this, my first wedding couple trusted me to document their special day, and I will always be grateful for that.This first wedding marked the beginning of a new career path that I continue to follow proudly today. Since then, I have photographed over 300 couples around the world, traveling countless times with one goal in mind: to document love in the most artistic and thoughtful way possible.

How do Italian weddings work?

Italian weddings typically feature traditional customs but often require a mix of both traditional and modern customs. 
In a traditional wedding, the day often begins with a religious ceremony in a Catholic church, followed by a reception.
The reception includes a multi-course meal, music, dancing, and festivities. Common traditions include “confetti” given as wedding favors, cutting the wedding cake, and toasting with Italian sparkling wine. The celebrations do not have a set timetable and can last late into the night or sometimes into the following days.

How much does a photographer cost in Italy?

The cost of a wedding photographer in Italy can vary greatly depending on factors such as experience, length of event, location, hours of coverage, number of photos retouched, and additional services such as albums, etc. Contact me and tell me about your wedding for a free quote.

What is the Italian culture of marriage?

Italian wedding culture is rich in traditions and customs. Weddings are often family-centered and have a strong religious meaning, usually celebrated in church. Traditional customs include the bride wearing a white dress, the exchange of rings between the bride and groom, and the use of rice or confetti as a symbol of prosperity and fertility. Finally, celebrations are known for their festive atmosphere with lots of food, wine, and music.

Is 500 photos enough for a wedding?

Yes, 500 photos may be enough depending on the coverage and events of the day.
However, on such a special day it is almost useless to talk about quantity, but it is important to capture all the most emotional and meaningful moments without counting the shots and the number of photos.

Do wedding photos belong to the photographer?

Legally, wedding photos are usually the intellectual property of the photographer. The photographer owns the copyright and the couple usually receives a license to use and print the photos. Terms and conditions may vary between photographers but in some cases, the couple is offered the option to purchase full rights to the photos for an additional fee.
