Florence Wedding Photographer
with a Documentary and Editorial Style

Florence is a place of striking contrasts — a Renaissance capital of domes and bridges, wrapped in the quiet hills of the surrounding countryside.

As a Florence wedding photographer, I work in a documentary way, allowing moments to unfold naturally, while stepping in with clear, calm guidance when it helps create the strongest images. I pay close attention to light, composition, and timing, shaping photographs that feel honest and intentional.
Nothing over-posed. Nothing chaotic.

Just the right balance between direction and freedom.

From Intimate Elopements to Big Weddings in Florence

Florence works just as beautifully for intimate elopements as it does for larger and multi-day celebrations.

I photograph:
– quiet, intentional elopements with just the two of you
– small weddings with close family and friends
– full wedding days with a larger guest count
– multi-day wedding celebrations, including welcome dinners and relaxed moments before or after the wedding

No matter the size or length of the celebration, my focus is always the same: real moments, strong atmosphere, and portraits that feel natural rather than posed. The scale may change, but the intention doesn’t.

Wedding Videographer in Florence — Photo and Hybrid Video Coverage

Alongside photography, I also offer wedding video coverage in Florence as part of a hybrid photo and video approach.

Video is treated as an extension of the photography — captured with the same sensitivity to light, timing, and atmosphere. The focus stays on real moments, movement, and sound, without staged scenes or intrusive production.

For weddings that benefit from an additional perspective, a dedicated videographer can also be included — always working in the same calm, unobtrusive way and fully aligned with how I photograph the day.

This approach works especially well for destination weddings, where intimacy, setting, and emotion matter more than spectacle.

The Best Places to Get Married in Florence

Florence offers a range of beautiful settings, from historic city-center palaces to Renaissance villas in the surrounding hills. Each location offers something different in terms of light, mood, and flow — all important when planning photography and video. Curious about other parts of the region?

Your Destination Wedding Photographer in Florence

I’m Dejan, a Florence wedding photographer.
My focus is always the wedding itself, not performances for the camera. The photos are simply a reflection of the day: genuine, calm, and emotionally grounded.

I take my work seriously, but never myself too seriously. A relaxed atmosphere, clear communication, and quiet confidence make all the difference — especially for destination weddings.
