Borgo Colognola wedding photographer
for Elegant Weddings in Umbria
Being born and raised in Umbria shaped the way we see light, landscapes and human connection. Photographing weddings here is deeply personal to us because these hills, villages and historic venues are part of our own story.
As wedding photographer in Umbria, we stay by your side with calmness and care, capturing memories as they naturally unfold, unposed, emotional, and timeless images for you and the generations that follow”
Maurizio and Serena were one of our favourite vendors for our destination wedding at Borgo Colognola in Umbria. If you are looking for a wedding photography duo who will put you at ease whilst taking the most beautiful candid photos of you and your guests, look no further! Maurizio and Serena delivered exactly what we were expecting of them and more. Maurizio took charge of directing the photography and videography team for the day, and even helped with organising the confetti throw, including asking the string trio to play another song. He was also very clear in his instructions about the poses we should take for certain photos, with him and Serena often demonstrating what he meant. They were both very patient with us as we took a little time to settle into the day and be relaxed enough for them to get the most beautiful candid photos of us during different parts of the day. We were absolutely blown away when we received our highlights gallery 6 days after our wedding and stunned when our full album came through a week later with almost double the number of photos we had booked in our contract. The best part was being able to see how much fun our guests were having while we were distracted with other things. Maurizio and Serena really took their time to make sure our guests and all of the details of the day were included alongside photos of me and my husband. They have memorialised our wonderful day in truly stunning photos that several people have commented are like a Vogue wedding editorial. We will treasure their work forever and can't wait to have some prints up around our home. Thank you Maurizio and Serena!Drew & Emma

per Sempre
With over a thousand weddings behind them, Maurizio and Serena bring not only experience but a calm, reassuring presence. Their approach is quiet and attentive, allowing couples to feel at ease from the very beginning. This sense of trust creates space for real emotions to emerge, turning each wedding into a story that feels personal, honest and beautifully timeless
We truly love working at Borgo Colognola because it offers such a beautiful balance between refined elegance and authentic countryside atmosphere. The venue has an intimate and relaxed feeling that immediately makes couples and guests feel connected to the landscape and to each other, while still maintaining the timeless charm of a destination wedding in Umbria.
Although it is located very close to Perugia, once you arrive at Borgo Colognola you feel completely surrounded by nature, rolling hills and peaceful views that create an atmosphere of total escape. The light here is especially beautiful, particularly during sunset, when the warm tones of the countryside make the wedding dinner al fresco glow with an almost cinematic atmosphere.
We photographed our very first wedding at Borgo Colognola back in 2009, and over the years we have had the privilege of seeing this venue grow and become one of the most important and recognizable destination wedding venues in Umbria. Watching couples from all over the world celebrate here while still preserving the venue’s authentic character has been incredibly inspiring for us as wedding photographers.
Every time we return, Borgo Colognola still feels genuine, welcoming and deeply connected to the spirit of Umbria. It is a venue where elegant weddings naturally blend with the beauty of the countryside, creating an atmosphere that feels timeless, emotional and effortlessly Italian.
