Giulia and Fabio are two different people. She is very outgoing and able to stand in front of the camera, and he is shy, but not averse to the idea of having high-quality photos and video clips.
The wedding day goes by so quickly that allowing time for photos and videos is just a brief moment, but in fact, it represents the only time the couple can have a moment all to themselves.
In recent years, we’ve noticed that more and more clients love to experience their wedding day with peace of mind.
A wedding day goes by very quickly, like all beautiful things, and for this reason, it should be enjoyed to the fullest.
What does this mean from a photographic point of view? It means we strive to take photos without causing any stress, using a reportage technique to capture every moment naturally.
This way, you can enjoy your day without straying too far from your guests, except for 15 minutes during the best time for couple photos.
Adapting to the client and their needs is very important to us so that everything is in harmony on that day.
By understanding all the requirements, we know how to move and which photographic style aligns best with the client.
In the case of Nina and Hiro, the key word is spontaneity.
Wedding without a Wedding Planner
We increasingly have weddings where a wedding coordinator or a wedding planner is involved. This is because managing the day is not at all simple and requires very high attention to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Thomas and Michelle did not aspire to a perfect wedding but to the perfect wedding for them, based on the presence of friends and the part
Thanks to the help of the witnesses and a few other friends, they managed to have the celebration they envisioned for themselves.
When there is no wedding planner, the fundamental thing is to have control over the management of the day because unpredictability is always a factor not to be underestimated.
Therefore, it is necessary to have the right experience and constant communication with the couple (before and during the day) to capture every crucial moment in photos and videos.

Entrusting the storytelling of one’s day to professionals is extremely important. Entrusting it to professionals with years of experience undoubtedly has even more advantages.
This is because those who have been in the industry for several years, and we have been for 14 years, have such experience that they can provide their couples with a series of advice that are not directly related to the photographic aspect, but in some way enhance it.
When couples choose us, they have on their side two professionals capable of giving them advice that concerns the entire wedding.
Obviously, our work does not replace that of wedding planners at all, but it is an aid aimed at improving the final result of the photographic and videographic aspect.
So, we simultaneously take care of our couples and the final result.
What we’ve narrated in this wedding is a beautiful story.
It’s strange how the world turns and how roads intersect and merge.
Sam and Gian are a long-standing couple. They chased each other since high school, caught up, then separated, and finally found each other again, mature and aware of wanting to start a journey together. They started from Basilicata and passed through some cities, including our Turin, before reaching Lombardy.
But their hearts are Lucanian, and that’s where they decided to organize their wedding.
They began their search for a wedding photographer and videographer and ended up with us.
Together, we faced 2020 (the year they were supposed to get married) and shared a pre-wedding session in Bormio and a wedding at the beautiful Castle of San Basilio in Marina di Pisticci (Matera).
For us, leaving our region is always stimulating. Everything serves to activate creativity.
When we’re out of our region, we like to travel by car to bring all the equipment we need with us.
This also allows us to be very independent and to move to different places to document a city or everything revolving around a wedding.
For example, we were able to attend a serenade the day before the wedding or reach the location the day after the event to capture a few more shots with the drone.
We are very organized, and we like to agree on a plan with the couple to never miss any moments they value, but we are open to unexpected occurrences.
One must always be prepared!
Our work encompasses many facets and aspects.
On the same day, our skills must range from the emotional to the technical aspects.
We can never underestimate the unexpected and must always have the equipment with us that can help us solve any problems we may encounter.
Surely, a team that knows how to do their job well is the winning key.
Each member of the team can technically support their colleague. For example, as videographers, we sometimes have to set up lights for our photographer colleagues, and vice versa, photographers sometimes support us in positioning microphones. For this reason, the team is important.
But the team would be nothing without a series of equipment and problem-solving skills.
From the dual camera setup for each operator to windproof devices to avoid microphone rustling.
In the wedding of Cristina and Roberto, which took place on a warm September day, the wind was really strong.
We remember using several windproof devices and positioning various audio devices to deliver the work cleanly.
The result was a very polished video.
We believe that if couples see a job well done, we must ensure that theirs will be perfect too.
Perhaps the most lively wedding of 2023.
Antonio and Carolina are effervescent, dynamic, fun, and at times incredibly and magnificently crazy.
We didn’t stop for a moment because there was something to photograph and capture everywhere.
Since we met Carolina and Antonio, we had a feeling that their wedding would be vibrant.
From the couple’s personalities, we could already imagine how the wedding day might unfold.
And it was just like that. From the morning, we had “good vibes.”
The bridesmaids, along with the bride, arrived in an old Volkswagen minibus (Lattementa), which also served as a backdrop during the couple’s preparations and for the photo booth during the aperitif.
Carolina’s preparation was a series of laughter and toasts, reels, and “oh, I’m nervous.”
Antonio surprised us with his stylish pink suit.
We joked, laughed, and then got emotional during the ceremony, which never ceased to be extraordinary. From the entrance to the exit.
Everything went smoothly from every point of view, thanks to the careful and meticulous timeline by the Mandragora Events & Wedding team.
The party was spectacular (Agab Eventi). Everyone was on fire! This gave us the opportunity to capture outstanding images.
We didn’t have to do anything but observe and capture moments as they happened, then tell the story through photos and videos.
From the comments received under the reels, we believe we hit the mark because the photos and videos, as always, reflect and respect the couple in their way of being and experiencing the day.
Cos’è l’empatia?
L’empatia è quella dote che ti fa entrare in sintonia con le persone e che ti permettere di mettere gli altri nelle condizioni di essere a proprio agio.
La nostra empatia è stata talmente forte che siamo riuscite a colpire Chiara e Fabio attraverso una videocall.
Sono poi venuti in studio, sentendosi subito a casa. Questo vogliamo trasmettere io e Paola alle nostre coppie.
Abbiamo parlato tanto in quell’incontro e poi ce ne sono stati altri. Ci hanno raccontato le loro idee folli (del resto due artisti non potevano che creare un contesto particolare per il loro grande giorno), di un viaggio a Lisbona, città per loro molto speciale.
Lei estrosa e raffinata, lui affascinante e carismatico.
Ci hanno subito colpiti e non vedevamo l’ora di raccontare la loro storia.
Con Chiara e Fabio abbiamo fatto due tipi di servizi:
il servizio foto e video per il giorno del matrimonio in cui hanno espresso la volontà di festeggiare con i loro amici e parenti senza fare foto di coppia e il servizio foto e video di post wedding/elopement a Lisbona, dove abbiamo vissuto con loro una fantastica esperienza tra le onde dell’oceano atlantico e il vento della Praia do Guincho (Lisbona).
E’ stato lì che Chiara e Fabio hanno voluto scambiarsi le loro promesse e i loro anelli e concedersi delle foto di coppia in serenità.
Se avete in mente un matrimonio classico, beh in queste foto non riuscirete a trovarlo.
