We love Valeria Pitarresi’s ability to create honest, naturally lit wedding photographs that retain the authenticity of the moment. With over a decade of experience, her work balances a documentary approach with gentle direction, ensuring couples feel at ease while capturing timeless images that stand apart from fleeting trends.
Valeria’s photography infuses documentary and fine art, emphasizing genuine colors, softness, and raw emotion. She captures wedding moments as they unfold naturally, with minimal interference, and enhances them through a refined editing process. Her signature black-and-white photography ensures a timeless aesthetic, avoiding the transient nature of wedding photography trends.
Valeria transitioned into wedding photography in 2014 after completing a PhD in private law and working as a lawyer. Her first wedding took place in Kerala, India, with a thousand guests, proving her adaptability to large-scale events. With nearly 11 years of experience, she has developed expertise in destination weddings, frequently working with international couples in Italy, Spain, France, and Scotland. Fluent in Italian, Spanish, and English, and currently learning French, Valeria is highly skilled in working with diverse cultures and traditions. Her work was featured in Vogue Italia in December 2023, further solidifying her reputation in the industry.
Although based in Sicily, Valeria is available for weddings worldwide. She has a deep appreciation for France, considering it her dream destination for wedding photography. Her experience in international weddings makes her highly adaptable, ensuring a seamless photography experience regardless of location.
Valeria’s work has been published in various reputable magazines, with Vogue Italia recognizing her artistry in December 2023.
