WHO ARE YOU?
We are AAStudio, a photography and videography Studio specializing in destination weddings in Italy.
We are a close-knit team of professionals (Alberto and Alessandra – founders – Francesco, Ylenia, Edoardo and Irene) working collaboratively across photography, film and post-production, with over ten years of experience documenting international and multicultural weddings. Our approach is discreet, structured and guided by a shared visual vision, allowing us to create cohesive and refined imagery across complex, multi-day events. Click here to learn more about us!
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
We live in the beautiful province of Verona; our studio is located in Veneto region, between Valpolicella and Lake Garda, but we love to work throughout Italy and abroad.
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR STYLE.
Our style balances documentary, candid storytelling with a refined, loose editorial approach.
We work with natural light, real moments and intentional composition. This allows us to create images that feel spontaneous, elegant and visually cohesive. Our work is never staged or exaggerated; instead, we guide when needed and observe when it matters most, allowing the story to unfold authentically. The result is imagery that feels sophisticated, contemporary and designed to age beautifully over time.
Our videos unfold through an emotionally driven narrative, placing the most meaningful moments at the heart of the story. A carefully curated soundtrack enhances the rhythm, elevating every emotion and bringing your memories to life in the most powerful way. Every film we create is one of a kind: crafted with a personal, bespoke approach.
Every aspect of our work (from shooting to selection, editing, and final retouching) is managed entirely in-house by our Studio: the only way to maintain the highest level of consistency, care, and artistic vision throughout the process.
Our editing style is natural and true-to-color. Skin tones remain real and glowing, while highlights are carefully managed to retain the texture and depth of the sky. From the deep blues of the Mediterranean to the vibrant greens of the Italian landscape, we harmonize every frame to enhance its beauty without ever distorting the truth of the moment. No fleeting trends, just the honest, vivid colors of your celebration, for a timeless aesthetic. We believe your photos and films should feel just as beautiful and emotionally powerful a hundred years from now as they do today.
DO YOU ALSO MAKE VIDEOS?
We started making wedding videos in 2018. Since then, films have become a fundamental part of our work, to which we dedicate time, care and significant investments in innovation, technology and equipment.
You can see some examples of our video works here.
WHY DO YOU ALWAYS WORK AS A TEAM?
We always work in team, because it allows us to be present in every situation and also to grasp the seemingly secondary aspects (guests, decor, details, behind the scenes, etc) that make truly complete and exciting a reportage, that a single photographer or videographer could not follow appropriately.
In addition, being (at least) in two allows to have a double guarantee to grasp every moment from two different points of view and according to two different sensitivity (action + reaction).
It is also necessary if your are getting ready in different places and want both the preparations documented.
DO YOU WORK WITH ASSOCIATED PHOTOGRAPHERS OR OUTSOURCE WEDDINGS?
Never. All our weddings are photographed and filmed exclusively by the core members of AAStudio.
We never outsource our work to associate photographers or external teams. Every event is personally managed by our studio, from the first planning stages through shooting, editing and final delivery. This approach ensures consistency, accountability and a cohesive visual result across photography and film.
HOW LONG WILL YOU STAY?
We are available throughout the day, from the preparation of the couple cutting the cake and any subsequent party. Our proposals start from a 8-hour coverage, but they can always be extended up to 12 hours by paying an extra/h.
DO YOU PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL/OPTIONAL SERVICE?
We also provide in-house FineArt Film Photography, Super8 Video, Content Creator service, Engagement sessions (Pre-wedding), Rehearsal/Welcome Event sessions, Day After sessions (farewell event), Elopements (exchange of vows).

3) Any eventual extra added later, must be paid in 10 days from the event.
