Timeless Moments on Film | Analogue Wedding Photography at Lago Maggiore, Italy
There’s a certain magic in slowing down. In letting light hit real film. In trusting the imperfections.
That’s the beauty of analogue photography — and few places lend themselves better to this approach than Lago Maggiore in northern Italy.
On a recent trip to this breathtaking lake, nestled between the Italian Alps and elegant villas, I left my digital gear behind and let film photography take over. The result? Grainy textures, rich tones, and that unmistakable timelessness that digital can’t quite replicate.
Why Film at Lago Maggiore?
Italy evokes nostalgia — from the peeling shutters of lakeside villas to the rustling olive trees and soft pastels of evening light. Shooting analogue here feels natural. It slows the moment. It makes every frame matter. It’s not about volume. It’s about emotion.
Whether you’re getting married on Isola Bella, eloping in a lakeside village, or strolling through the Italian gardens of Stresa — film allows us to capture feeling, not just aesthetics.
My Approach to Analogue Wedding Photography
I shoot on 35mm and medium format cameras, combining classic techniques with a modern editorial eye. With film, I focus even more on emotion, movement, and natural light. Every shot is intentional. Every image is a piece of art.
This trip to Lago Maggiore was a personal creative reset — but also a preview of what your Italian wedding could look like on film. Authentic, romantic, and forever timeless.
