Traditionally speaking, often times it is the couple’s families who help pay for their wedding. However, unfortunately that’s just not possible for everyone, especially these days when the cost of weddings can quickly and easily get out of control. Some couples find themselves in the position of paying for all of their own wedding expenses, which can be quite the financial burden to take on, and about 40% of Millennials end up in this boat. So, how can you stick to your allotted...Read more

What I like in the work of wedding photographer is to be able to tell a story through my photos. My goal is to make the most beautiful images possible, with a real aesthetic research. My goal is that the bride and groom can flip through their album for many years always taking the same pleasure. I'm part of this new generation of wedding photographers who want to dust off the genre. I do not like the photos of 20 years ago with a stuck groom who does not know what to do and a bride with a frozen smile. It must be spontaneous, funny, alive and that it speaks of love.

Born in 1974, in Catania, Alessandro Arena has clear ideas: taking pictures means "writing with light". A passion with distant roots, handed down from the maternal grandfather, that Alessandro has been able to transform into professionalism with study and experience. Light, attention to moments and attention to detail: these are the simple ingredients that make his style unique. A style recognized by one of the most prestigious trade associations, the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA), of which it is an official member. Alessandro's artistic research focuses on the story and how a whole story can be told through the still image of a given moment. Photographing the naturalness of what is happening to add a touch of charm and elegance, this is Alessandro Arena Photographer. [Varese Wedding Photographer]

Wedding documentary photographer, Storyteller. I have always lived in the heart of Savoie, in the Alps between lake and mountain. I love living here, but the trip is for me an artistic outlet, as soon as I can, alone or with my family, I wander in various adventures around the planet nearby or very far from home. I already had several lives of a photographer: in the specialized press, companies, events, dynamic local advertising. All these experiences gained and success allows me today to be responsive and creative with a global vision of the scenes taking shape in front of me. Photography allows me to have this freedom, to work where I ask, without constraint. 33 years old, a small family that was built around me in my photographic adventures started in 2003 while the film was still a standard and the digital a novelty. Passionate about photography since I was young, the first camera I held was my father's. Being a photographer is, for me, obvious every day, for more than 10 years as a professional.
