Questions I am often asked.
Before we speak, perhaps one of these answers what you are wondering. And if not, I would love to hear from you directly.
-
Yes always. I am based in Germany and Italy is my second home. I travel across Europe and worldwide for the right wedding. Travel costs are discussed transparently as part of our first conversation, there are no surprises.
-
It will not. I do not photograph how you look. I photograph how you exist together. The couples who say this most often are the ones who end up with their favourite images. My approach is documentary, I observe, I anticipate, I wait. You will forget I am there.
-
Rarely, and only when it genuinely serves the image. My instinct is documentary, I create the conditions for something real to happen, and then I wait for it. If a small amount of direction helps you feel comfortable, I will offer it. But it will never feel like a photoshoot.
-
I limit myself to a number that allows me to give each couple complete attention, in the planning, on the day, and in the editing. That number is part of our conversation, and it is the reason I ask couples to inquire early for popular dates.
-
Cinematic and documentary. I am drawn to light, to the space between moments, to the things that happen when no one is performing. My work is influenced by street photography and film, quiet, composed, and deeply specific to each couple and place.
-
Send me a message through the contact page and tell me about your day, your date, and your location. We will have a conversation first. If we are the right fit for each other, I will send you an agreement and you will secure your date with a deposit. From that moment, your date is held exclusively for you.
-
For weddings in Italy and popular European destinations, I recommend inquiring at least 12–18 months in advance. Peak months like May, June, September, October fill early. That said, if your date is closer, please reach out and I will always let you know what is available.
-
Wedding photography with Di Salvo. begins at €1 600 for an intimate celebration and rises with the scope of the day. A detailed proposal is shared after our first conversation once I understand your day, your location, and what matters most to you.
-
Your full gallery is delivered within eight weeks of your wedding day. You will receive a preview of selected images within 48 hours , so you have something to hold while you wait.
-
For a full wedding day I typically deliver between 500 and 800 images, fully edited, in my cinematic style. I do not count images during editing. I deliver every image that is worth having.
-
Yes. Fine art albums are available and are discussed as part of our inquiry process. I design each album personally and they are not outsourced. An album is a different object than a gallery. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end.
-
Yes. A full print release is included with every gallery. You are free to print wherever you choose, for personal use.
Still have a question? I would love to hear from you.
