For those all-important photos: Daniele Muratore
What’s the point in travelling all the way to beautiful Sicily, if you don’t get a good photographer to create physical reminders of how picturesque and perfect your day was? A good photographer is key to enable you to remember your wedding day for the rest of your life, memories will stay vivid even when your own sense of memory fades.
Daniele Muratore Photography
Daniele Muratore is one of Sicily’s best wedding photographers. As you can see from his photos, he manages to capture each couple’s love perfectly against the romantic backdrop that this Italian paradise has to offer.
According to Daniele, wedding photography celebrates the love of a couple, just like the wedding itself. Each photo should be nostalgic, evoking that same affection and admiration felt in the moment, just with one glance at the photo album. As a professional, Daniele’s photography style focuses on the spontaneous and the natural, and he aims to go unnoticed throughout the ceremony and reception so as not to affect the natural conduct of the day. But he is flexible with what he can do, especially when you need him for those artistic poses of just you and your loved one taking in the view or romantically embracing.
