HAKUNA MATATA WEDDING

Instagram


I was born into a family of crazy dreamers, who taught me to believe in my passions with all my heart. I fell in love with photography at the age of 15, and since then I have never stopped seeing the world through the lens. I graduated in Cinema and Photography at the University of Bologna, Italy. Together with my colleague Francesco, a great filmmaker, we founded Hakuna Matata Wedding and we started offering complete packages (photo + video) to the couples who choose us in Europe and USA.

I won the “best young wedding photographer in Europe” by WUN in 2021, and the “Best European Wedding photographer” prize in 2023, together with being selected among the 10 finalists in the BODAF “Photographer of the Year” competition.

I am fascinated by simple, genuine people.

I am looking for stories to fall in love with, to be able to tell them with all my heart.

INTERVIEW

WHO ARE YOU? DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN A FEW WORDS.

I am an artist and a creative. I have spent my whole life trying to express my desire to arouse emotions through art. I have been a musician, a dancer, and an actress, but photography is my world, and since I discovered it, I have not been able to get away from it.

WHAT IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE HAS INFLUENCED YOU TO CHOOSE YOUR CAREER?

I have always been fascinated by photography and have had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember. My dream was to work in the cinema industry as a director. My professional training was directed toward a film career, and I think this can be seen a lot in my photography and style of storytelling. I found in wedding photography the opportunity to encapsulate my love of artistic storytelling, combined with the opportunity to witness and narrate unique and emotional moments.

WHAT IS YOUR INSPIRATION?

Art and cinema.

Combined with my love of traveling and discovering new colors, smells, tastes. I am extremely inspired by my surroundings, which is why traveling all over the world to shoot weddings is a dream come true.

AFTER THESE YEARS OF WORKING ON YOUR CRAFT, DO YOU STILL FEEL THE JOY OF DOING WHAT YOU DO?

I absolutely DO. I have never done any other work besides this. And this is because I love this “wedding world” immensely, I experience it as an incredible opportunity. To be able to tell with my art the emotions and lives of different people, in always different contexts is such a unique privilege.
