EDITORIAL AND DOCUMENTARY photography in UMBRIA
Monastero Santa Margherita, Todi
When looking for the best documentary wedding photographer in Umbria, Darren and Alicia reached out to us, they wanted a relaxed wedding photography that felt romantic and natural but also modern and magazine oriented.
At the Monastero Santa Margherita, perched above Todi’s valley Darren and Alicia marked their destination wedding with an elegance that seemed to ripple across the rolling Umbrian hills. The centuries‑old monastery, a stone sentinel watching over the landscape offered panoramas that cradled the day—soft warm light spilling over timeless walls leaving an unmistakable lingering sense of Italian tranquility. Opting for a tempo they lingered with family and friends letting the celebration unfold into a weekend of communion, laughter and quiet mirth. The unhurried pulse gave the space to follow a vibe that felt spontaneous, heartfelt and soaked in atmosphere. From the aperitivo by the pool to the golden‑hour portraits awash in amber light each frame seemed to whisper joy, intimacy and a restrained elegance. Their calm, refined bearing draped the occasion in a luxury that captures the very heart of editorial wedding photography, in Umbria and Tuscany—organic, yet impeccably polished.
Monastero Santa Margherita wedding photographer
A sophisticated destination wedding, in Umbria, where elegance, culture and emotion intertwine effortlessly. Hosted at the awe‑inspiring Monastero Santa Margherita in Todi, one of the region’s celebrated wedding venues—the summer Italian wedding captured everything adored about our documentary‑editorial photography: a natural candid style that chronicles authentic love stories while radiating timeless sophistication.
Alicia
the bride
What stole our hearts while shooting the bride’s getting‑ready moments on her Umbria wedding day was the excitement and pure fun that rippled among the bridesmaids—an energy and friendship that we captured in the hallway and in the room. Then it was the bride and us a quiet calm settled over the space giving us the chance to capture portraits that truly portrayed her beauty and effortless perfection
Darren,
the groom
Darren got ready with his two groomsmen, and we kept our approach simple and documentary-style — natural, unposed, and genuine. But we added a touch of artistry by using fashion-magazine-style flash and taking the guys out to the tennis court for some editorial-inspired shots that brought a stylish edge to the story.

Warm Words from the couple
the Honored
Guests

what does TIMELESS photography mean in terms of wedding photography?
Timeless means NATURAL, untouched by trends, true to color and deeply authentic. It feels effortless, never stiff, warm and candid yet refined and beautifully composed
Natural wedding photography is a choice for all those couples with a clear aesthetic vision who want to look stunning, but don’t want to spend time and energy on the photoshoot. It combines a documentary approach - capturing real moments without interruption of staging - with an editorial touch, where the photographer gives occasional direction but mostly fades into the background, allowing every moment to unfold naturally and spontaneously
OUR TAKE: Our couples love to look like they’ve stepped off a magazine cover - radiant and effortlessly stylish, but they also want to live their day without spending time posing. They value genuine experiences they company of their guests and meaningful moments with their families. That’s why our photography is designed to capture beauty without interruption, catching you living the moment with a minimal direction.
If you are getting married in Umbria or Tuscany you are surrounding yourself with golden light, rolling hills and a relaxed atmosphere that should guide the photo storytelling. Our natural but editorial style blends authenticity with sophistication and is a unique approach to the unique vibes of a destination wedding in Italy.
