Elopements: Traditional and Modern
The oldsters among the WPJA ranks no doubt remember when 'to elope' meant, in Merriam-Webster’s definition, “to run away secretly with the intention of getting married, usually without parental consent.” Many wedding photographers have gone on the lam with couples who did just that. However, even Merriam-Webster now acknowledges that “elope appears to have become shorthand for ‘ small destination weddings ,’ a ‘ wedding that is not financially insane ,’ or a ‘ wedding that allows us to not invite all the people we would rather not invite .’” Smaller Weddings are...

What is Reportage?
On Instagram and elsewhere, one can see images labeled as #photojournalism or #reportage when they are, in fact, merely photos. I say "merely," even though photography has been my career's great passion. But it's because of that passion and my respect for the work of actual photojournalists that I am particularly bothered to see wedding photographers call their work "reportage." That word properly used actually means something important beyond just a stylistic conceit. By contrast, however, I'm the lead cheerleader for those practitioners of #weddingphotojournalism ...

Starting from the assumption that any word has no value until one meets you in person, Caterina, we can say without a doubt that it was the best choice of our wedding to have you with us ! You are professional, sweet and never intrusive... almost invisible on the wedding day, and this is why you manage to capture very true emotions in every photo; you know how to put even the shiest people at ease. This is the reason why everybody falls in love with you and your photos, because your photos are magic and you are truly wonderful ! Thanks Caterina !

Hi Fabri! Sometimes I think you will whistle your ears .. we happen to talk about you with great pleasure to friends, relatives and acquaintances! Just the other day a John's aunt came to visit us and there was an opportunity to show her our marvelous wedding album. Yes, she has had the spontaneous reaction they all have: a great emotion! She felt catapulted on that fantastic day, she seemed to be there again! This is solely your merit! To you that you have been able to seize the moment, the spontaneity and the detail; that you have been tireless, available, humble and creative; that you have been able to advise us to the best for the creation of our eternal album! You are a "teacher" as my father says, always present among the guests but never intrusive! Thank you!! We can not do anything but join all our friends and relatives to tell you that the photos of our wedding album thrill us every time, page after page make us relive that day as a story made of only images, from the first to the last moment. We will have a memory forever of all those happy, ridiculous, stolen moments; black and white photos that enhance details, tears and hugs. Greta & Giovanni

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
