Caterina, you are like a swallow, always on the move but discreet, and at the right in the place in every single moment, we hardly felt like having a photographer around. The results of your work impressed us; photos were candidly taken, but you also have put your heart into them. Not only a professional photographer, well organized and prepared, but also you have a nice and warm personality, and your sweetness made us feel at ease in every single moment. Looking at our wedding photos is like reliving our beautiful day again, thanks to your art! With great affection Barbora & Samuele

Dearest Gabriele, Thank you for the slideshow!! We have been travelling since Friday (from Mykonos to London, and then we just returned to Sydney) and I've finally had the chance to view the slideshow properly on my lap top. It's AMAZING!! I'm so happy. The whole day was like a dream and just whizzed by without really being able to take everything in....so its so lovely that you captured all the important moments. You are a true artist through and through. We will be in touch again once the jetlag ceases! Alison & Pauly
