about us
Italy Destination Wedding Photographers & Travelers
We are Giuliano and Francesca.
We met in India, fell in love, and founded Giuliano Lo Re Photography in 2020, turning that shared instinct for travel and storytelling into a studio built around connection. Milan is our base, but our work lives anywhere your story feels most like you.
Our strength comes from the harmony of our two perspectives. Giuliano brings a storyteller’s instinct with an eye for cinematic light, rhythm, and composition, always searching for meaning in what happens between the obvious moments. Francesca brings a gentle, attentive presence and a sensitivity for the quiet details, the small gestures, and the emotional undercurrent that makes a day feel real.
Our work has been recognized internationally. In 2025, MyWed listed us among the top 3 wedding photographers in the world. But what matters most is simpler. When couples tell us they felt at ease. When they say the photos feel like them. When they rediscover the light, the silences, the joyful noise, and the fleeting moments they did not even notice while living them.

F.A.Q.
How much direction is there in our photographs?
Our approach is quiet and intuitive. During portraits we give light, simple prompts to help you land in flattering light and a strong composition, then we let you interact naturally. For the rest of the day we stay in the background, observing and documenting what is real as it happens. The feeling we aim for is supported, never staged.
What kind of events do you photograph?
We focus on destination weddings and elopements. Because our work is built on narrative and connection, we primarily take on multi day celebrations where we can fully tell the story and follow the rhythm of the experience. We also photograph engagement sessions and couple portraits, and we genuinely recommend them as the best way to feel completely comfortable with us well before the wedding days.
Will both of you be present at my wedding?
It depends on the chosen package but yes, you can book us together. Our dynamic is a big part of how we see and deliver a complete story.
Do you offer videography?
We focus exclusively on photography. If you would like video, we are happy to recommend videographers whose approach and professionalism pair beautifully with ours, so the collaboration on the day feels smooth and respectful.
What happens if one of you gets sick?
Your coverage is protected. First, we are already a two photographer team, which gives built in support. Second, we have a reliable network of colleagues who align with our visual language and values. If a true emergency happens, we can ensure continuity in a way that respects your experience and our style.
How do we book you?
Booking is simple. Your date is secured with a signed agreement and a 20 percent retainer of the chosen collection. The remaining balance is due before the first day of coverage. We take a limited number of weddings each year, and dates are reserved on a first come, first served basis once the retainer is received.
How far in advance should we reach out?
For destination weddings in Italy, couples typically contact us 12 to 18 months ahead. As soon as your date and venue are confirmed, it is a good moment to reach out so we can confirm availability. Anyway, if your wedding is in a few month, you can still contact us!
Are travel and accommodation included?
Travel is quoted separately, purely for clarity and transparency. Once we know your plans, location, and number of days, we will send a straightforward quote that covers the necessary travel and accommodation for our team. Travel is part of what we love about this work, and we keep our quotes practical, fair, and sensible.
Do you offer albums?
Yes. We care a lot about tangible heirlooms. Through your private gallery you will have access to a professional lab for handcrafted albums, fine art prints, and archival products. We guide and oversee the process so the final quality matches the photographs.
