We’re based in Tuscany. Right outside Florence, on the edge of the beautiful Chianti. Leaving Tuscany behind is sad, but we will definitely not hesitate to hop on a train, get in our car, or fly out to photograph whatever you two have in mind. Be it in Italy or anywhere else in Europe.

Reach out to us with your date. We will set up a meeting online to see if we’re the ones you want next to you on your wedding day. Once we talk about a collection that suits you and your wedding, we will prepare an agreement. Once it is signed and the 30% retainer fee is paid, we’re booked and ready to go!  Payments can be arranged digitally or by international bank transfer, and we’re open to finding a payment plan that works for you. Then it’s time to rest easy and celebrate having us in your lives.

We are usually booked 16-8 months in advance. Since we take on a limited number of booking a year, we recommend reaching out as soon as you have secured your venue so we can move forward with the process. Throughout the year we do have some limited availability for last-minute weddings, so please reach out about your date so we can find a way to work together.

Using a blend of digital, medium format, and 35mm cameras, we aim to create a cohesive true-to-color body of work that will not feel dated. We strive to make our film images look even better than digital, but select the best option for each moment throughout the day taking into consideration light, time and our own experience in order to create images you can feel. Our goal with film is always creating a cohesive look, to make you fall in love with the grain and the colors – but not simply to have a cool analog look.

Film coverage is highly recommended, though it is an additional to our digital work.

Yes. We are dual Italian citizens that reside fiscally in Italy, meaning we pay a lot taxes to keep this place this beautiful for everyone to enjoy. We have a legally functioning business, our Partita IVA number is 07258710487 and we are insured to work at all venues. We have mandatory drone insurance and operating license.

We are here to tell a story of your wedding with our own vision. We document what is happening organically but point the camera at what we believe tells your story best – all while making sure your classic portraits and moments are captured the way they should, to stand the test of time.

So naturally, for most of the day we watch unobtrusively. During the moments we do get to spend alone with you as a couple, our goal is to capture your essence, slowly guiding you along the best light and background but not posing. Each couple is unique in their interaction, and we have learned to observe when to be more intrusive or candid and this is something we’ll learn as we go through this together. If you have very editorial aspirations or this is something you envision for your wedding, it’s best we discuss this before the wedding to plan time accordingly.

We like to be part of the process and make sure our expertise is considered when you and your planner are establishing a timeline for your wedding. We like to be allowed in, to get to know your families, to be close to you in order to deliver work you can feel.

Frankie & Marília means Frankie & Marilia.  This means two first photographers, always. With the same experience, aligned aesthetics and technical knowledge. I mean, we’re a married couple, we do share interests.

We don’t split up for weddings. Ever. We will both be there. Depending on the size of your wedding or specific needs, we may bring additional photographers. But you get Frankie & Marilia all for you. Rejoice!

Yes, and at the end of your payment plan you will receive a formal tax receipt.

It really does depend on the wedding. It depends on the size of your wedding and many activities or attractions you might have planned throughout the day. A 500-guest wedding at a large venue with many setups and an immediate family-only microwedding at a Villa are very different. We would say roughly 60-70 images per hour of coverage.

With film coverage, it depends on our choice of film for each moment and can vary greatly depending on light, timeline restrictions and other factors.

We only take on a few number of weddings each year. The reason for this is to make sure we can focus 100% of our attention on each couple. We have a “slow living” outlook on life, but our turnaround times are the same as other industry professionals. For engagement and portrait sessions, we work with 4 to 6 weeks. For weddings, our turnaround time is 8 weeks. This doesn’t mean we might not get these to you way earlier, though.

And you might say you won’t get anxious, but we know your style. You’ll get a little preview of the wedding within 5 days to share it with your loved ones – don’t worry.

We will share our custom wedding guide with you as soon as the booking process is finalized, where we share a vast amount of tips to make the most of our of your wedding – including planning your timeline and our list of recommended vendors.

A good wedding planner will definitely always be the best option in making any final choices, though.

Videography does wonders in helping tell the story of a wedding and it’s very thoroughly recommended. We love moving images and think they have something special we cannot achieve (and vice-versa). However we do not offer videography. We do have a list of great recommendations all over Italy and Europe which we are sure you are going to love.

We do have a drone and are legally allowed and insured to operate it in Italy. But we cannot guarantee we’ll always be able to include drone photos in your coverage. Local flight restrictions and legislation ban drone usage in many public and private spaces in Italy, so this might play a role in our ability to fly. Weather conditions are also an important factor we consider when using a drone. So yes, it’s already included in our offered coverage – but we’re not always able to fly.

We will be anywhere there if there’s a celebration of love happening. We have covered weddings from 600+ guests to the most emotional elopements and are equally happy to participate in all of them.

Our most popular package includes day-before event coverage. Most couples getting married here choose to host a welcome dinner / pizza party and it’s great that we get to spend even more time together before the actual wedding day. Everyone gets to know us in a less formal event and we feel most people are much more open for the wedding.

Yes! We know each wedding is unique. While some couples are excited about engagement photos and keepsake wedding albums, others have other needs they need to address. Contact us and we’ll work out a solution that works out perfectly for your wedding.

We offer add-on options to all our packages but can definitely create something to fit whatever you’re thinking of.

Yes. The photos delivered on the gallery will be curated, color corrected, adjusted – and will all look beautiful. All done by hand by us two. No AI here.

Yes! And we love photographing them. In Florence, anywhere in Tuscany – or anywhere in Italy.

Some of our wedding packages do include an engagement / portrait session as well, and they’re a great way for us to get to know each other better before the wedding and so you know what to expect when the day finally arrives.

Absolutely. Yes! We will have an initial call when you first reach out so you can decide whether we’d be the best choice of people to point cameras at you all day. Then we’ll have another meeting a few weeks before the wedding so we can go over everything in detail. We are also definitely available to meet in person and take you for coffee or a drink somewhere we like in case you happen to be in Florence or near us in the Chianti before the wedding.

We will also give you a follow on social media and try to get to know you both a little better before the wedding so you feel confident in letting us in. This confidence in letting us be part of the process will make the images we create feel much more real and personal.

Yes, for weddings in Tuscany, there are no additional travel fees. We are here already, waiting for you to arrive, sipping on espresso.

The cost depends on your guest count, film photography coverage, and whether you need multi-day coverage for a full wedding weekend. Our photography coverage for Elopements & Microweddings in Tuscany start at €1400.

We feel bad people still need to ask this question. Love is love and this is the only reason why we are 100% committed to our work. We are truly honored to document weddings for all couples, regardless of cultures, ethnicities, races, sexes, gender identities and expressions, national origins, ages, languages spoken, colors, religions, disabilities, sexual orientations, and beliefs and we will stand by this with all our beings.
