A fairytale photographer Perhaps there is nothing more important than photos after the wedding. We only realized this when we were able to appreciate your talented work, Caterina. You managed to capture the essence of the moments and the people, so much so that we could experience our party in every moment, often reliving it in a way we hadn't managed during the wedding day. You are a person who, with grace and elegance, entered our hearts. We cannot recommend anyone better than Caterina's expert eyes to anyone getting married.

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
