unposed
authentic
genuine wedding photography

Whether you: prefer being just the two of you in a wonderful location designed in all details just for your intimate ceremony… prefer a slightly bigger ceremony, with all your family and friends who gather together to cheer and have fun with you… I would love to capture your day to be remembered!

I am a huge believer of REPORTAGE style, of unposed photography during the day. I’ll let you free of moving around, being free and spontaneous and being silly and as crazy as you want and on top of everything I just want you to be CRAZY IN LOVE. Yeah, like Beyoncé’s song I will make sure I capture everything without being intrusive but discreet like a little elf!

I will help you plan your wedding and elopement, finding the perfect timeline for your day, recommending great professionals if you would need to. I will help with your dress and the flowers, and most of all, I will help you make your day be memorable and unforgettable!

"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without.
If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with?
Fall head over heels."

my favorite quote from the movie “Meet Joe Black”

let's elope just the two of you, or a handful of guests

elope in italy

don't be afraid to get married yOUR way

If you do not want all the eyes on you and all the fuss that comes with planning a small or bigger wedding, and would rather just say your vows one in front of the other, get emotional in a location you both cherish, are tied to or you simply want to discover a new place in the world, then ELOPEMENTS are the perfect choice for you!

Like Catherine and Tyler who legally got married in 2020 but had to postpone their celebration to 2022. After a few difficult moments, they decided to abandon the idea of a big wedding and instead elope in Basilicata, in Cat’s grandma’s town of origin. Just them, the celebrant and me, and for sure, the spirit of her ancestors looking through the walls of the castle.

I am based in Rome, but I love to travel.

Some of my favorite Italian cities/places include Venice, Florence and the whole Amalfi Coast as well as the tuscan landscapes. I would literally go anywhere so feel free to reach out and let’s make this journey memorable together!

I also would be glad to recommend you locations and venues: Italy is so full of gorgeous regions, please do not limit yourself to the already well-known places 🙂 There’s so many landscapes to discover.

During our day/photoshoot, you'll just have to enjoy yourselves, to enjoy each other, to embrace the time you are spending together.

From the moment you choose me to photograph your life, your day, we will be a team functioning together. Be prepared to laugh, from a joke or from embarrassment of being shy (I’ll help you not to be!), get ready to kiss and to smile, to be snugly and cuddly.

I will guide and give prompts, I’m all for the natural, candid reportage style! Storytelling the natural way is the only real way to show who you are and get stunning photos for you to cherish forever.

the kindest words

"Rita was amazing to work with. Karla is very particular about her photographers and she feel in love with Rita’s style via her Instagram. Once Karla picked out the photographer I worked with Rita behind the scenes to bring a magical proposal to life. Rita was extremely helpful with bringing ideas, being very very responsive, and so supportive during the process. We even had to reschedule due to both Karla and I testing positive for COVID. Rita worked with us to reschedule and made what could have been a nightmare turn out to be a dream. I cannot recommend Rita enough for both an amazing photo shoot and if you are looking for help to pull off a once in a lifetime proposal experience. Thank you Rita!"

Karla+Josinsurprise proposal

"Rita, what a special person she is! So nice, interested, sweet but also very professional. We came across her profile via instagram and immediately knew: we want Rita as a photographer at our wedding. And what a good choice we made in the end. We didn't know each other, but got to know each other very well in a short time. She is the best photographer we could wish for during our wedding weekend in Tuscany. during our weekend it felt like we had known each other for years and she captured all the wonderful moments. when you look back at the pictures now, you still can feel exactly how the weekend was, pure amore amore amore, she did this very well! Lots of love from Holland xx"

Marlot + Guuselopement

"On our first anniversary, we fulfilled a long-lasting dream: we did an amazing photoshooting in Rome with the amazing Rita! We have always dreamt about getting our wedding pictures in our favourite city. She captured these precious moments perfectly for us! We simply love the photos! Rita created a relaxed atmosphere during the shoot so that we could be the way we really are. She also captured our laughs and kisses in the right moments, and I have to admit: I cried when I first saw the photos, I was so overwhelmed. We truly recommend Rita for any kind of photoshoot! We are so happy with the moments she captured for us!"

Miriam + Nickhoneymoon

"Rita is from another dimension, she reads your soul and messes it up. In a good way. Her photos are intense portraits of stolen shots and moments, capable of showing you sides of yourself, which you did not know before, but which you will love madly. There is no construction, just so much wonderful truth. Thanks for making us feel like being at home and never making us uncomfortable, shooting with you was a wonderful experience. We can't wait to throw ourselves into another great project! With love, Maria and Lorenzo."

Maria+Lorenzocouple session

"We have watched and watched again the photos in these two days we received them and we just can't stop 😂 Every time we look at them we are ecstatic and in love with all the magic and professionalism you put into capturing all the most significant moments of our day. In the photos there is really everything: our home, our friends, our smiles, our personalities, the emotions of that day but also somthing of a somewhat difficult year and the gratitude we feel of having been able to have the party despite everything. There is seriousness and laughter, intimacy and worldliness. When we look at them, we relive everything about that day and this was just what we were looking for: a photographer who would help us having a beautiful, indelible and real memory of what we lived, to be able to keep it forever. "Thank you" is too little to express the gratitude and beauty we feel. We couldn't have asked for better. Thank you from deep within our hearts!"

Margherita+Lauraintimate wedding

"Having Rita as a photographer was exceptional and unique. Her photos are beautiful, but we already knew this by looking at all of her works. What we did not know is that behind those photos there is the work of an incredible professional, who with patience, serenity, firmness and punctuality moves throughout the day with a unique passion motivating her. We have nicknamed her the "little elf of the woods" because she was never seen and never heard of, but she managed to capture all the most important, exciting and fun moments of our party. You knew she was there because every now and then the glare of the flash would immortalize the moment. It was like having a careful friend to make this day so special for us, indelible, without being intrusive especially because we do not like classic posed photos. Heartfelt thanks to you my dear, and who knows that we may not meet again in the future."

Pamela+Emilianowedding

"Nate and I got to look at the pictures together last night and omg there are not enough words to describe how beautiful they are!! We are OBSESSED! They capture Nate and I so perfectly, I don’t think I’ve ever loved any other pictures of us more!! I don’t know how we will ever pick our favorites because every single one is😂 We will cherish these pictures forever as they are such a special memory for us and we are so so thankful we chose you to capture them❤️❤️"
