MANUELE ZANGRILLO

DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

``Appartenere a qualcuno significa entrare con la propria idea nell'idea di lui o di lei e farne un sospiro di felicità.``

About Me

For friends, simply Manu. I was born in Gaeta, a seaside city, but I love the silent mountain where I take refuge. Of the paths up there, I like the calm to reflect and the woods where I can watch what the Japanese call komorebi: the light that filters through the trees. Ah, how I love light, my companion in my work as a photographer. But never as much as another light, my wife Valeria. She often reproaches me for being introverted, too precise in everything, but it's only because I love doing things well.

How I Shoot Wedding

I started shooting for the wedding sector when I was an intern in a photography studio, after the photography course, in 2011.
I have seen many weddings, but only mine with Valeria showed me how the highest and most eternal sigh of happiness is the moment before pronouncing that yes, I do.
On the wedding day I can empathize with the bride and groom because it's as if I relive that moment every time.
This is the only way I can put the same attention, the same dedication, the same love into it.

Style of my shoot

Sometimes it seems impossible to make tangible what is invisible to the eyes, like love. And this is the magic of photography. What lights up my style is the sweetness of the looks, the vibrations, the frequencies of love. Through each photo I express a romantic style using reportage to capture spontaneity and intimacy, going beyond the classic posed photos. So as to put even the shyest couples at ease, so that they can express their uniqueness. The warm lights instead are my companions to convey the atmosphere of understanding that exists when two people are one.
