ALESSANDRO PEPE
Photographer. Studio Owner
Alessandro Pepe is wedding photographer based in Naples, Italy, specializing in exclusive weddings. With a documentary approach and a passion for natural light and emotion, he creates timeless images that tell real love stories—spontaneous, sincere, and full of life.
Born and raised in Naples, Alessandro brings southern warmth, energy, and authenticity to every shoot. His deep love for Neapolitan culture, good food (especially pizza!), and heartfelt connections is what makes every wedding feel like a story shared among friends.
He discovered photography during his architecture studies, and it was love at first sight. The light that he had known in architecture as a material, becomes the ink through which Alessandro writes the wedding stories.
Deeply influenced by cinema and visual storytelling, Alessandro blends fine art composition with a candid photojournalistic style. Each photograph is crafted like a film frame, evocative, emotional and real.
PHILOSOPHY
As a professional wedding photographer specializing in documentary-style photography and natural portraits, my mission is to tell your story with honesty, beauty and emotional depth.
I believe the most powerful wedding photos come from real moments. With a discreet and unobtrusive approach, I capture genuine emotions—glances, gestures, and spontaneous scenes that reflect the true essence of your day. This is the heart of my documentary wedding photography: authentic, unscripted, and deeply personal.
Alongside candid storytelling, I also focus on creating natural, elegant portraits. Not stiff or overly posed, but portraits that feel effortless and sincere images that show you at your best, in your most authentic light.
Every photo I take is crafted to become a lasting memory.
I’m not just capturing how your wedding looks, but how it feels.
If you're looking for a wedding photographer who values emotion over perfection and storytelling over staging, you're in the right place.
Let's Capture Your Story
If you're planning a destination wedding in Italy or anywhere in Europe and want a photographer who will document your day with artistry, authenticity and heart, get in touch. Together, we'll create memories that feel just as beautiful in twenty years as they did that day.
YOUR QUESTIONS
F.A.Q. - Italian Wedding photographer based in Sorrento
What is your photography style?
My approach blends the spontaneity of reportage with the elegance of editorial portraiture. I tell your story authentically, capturing raw emotions with discretion. Each frame is carefully composed to help you relive the feelings of your day—without forced poses, with a focus on light, beauty and what makes you truly unique.
Do you only work in exclusive venues?
It’s not about the venue—it’s about the atmosphere. I love working in refined, well-curated settings where every detail reflects your personality. Whether it’s a historic villa, a vineyard celebration, or a destination wedding abroad, I look for the poetry within your story.
How do you work with us on the wedding day?
With discretion, empathy and presence. I’ll be with you from the preparations until the last dance, ready to capture glances, smiles, tears—without disrupting the natural flow of events. We’ll also take a quiet moment for portraits, gently guided, to create timeless and intimate images.
How many photos do we receive, and how?
There is no specific number of photos I deliver. It depends on multiple factors: hours of service, how the event is structured. But there is a guaranteed minimum of 500 photographs
Do you offer video services too?
I don’t film personally, but I can recommend trusted videographers whose style aligns with mine: cinematic, emotional and discreet. I only work with professionals who share my vision and artistic sensibility.
Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely. I love discovering new places to tell love stories. I travel throughout Italy and abroad. Each location has its own light and I always arrive early to get to know it and let it become part of your memories.
What sets you apart from other photographers?
I believe in the emotional power of photography. Each couple I work with has a one-of-a-kind story that I want to listen to—before I ever raise my camera. What I offer is more than a service; it’s a personal, meaningful experience built on trust, beauty and honesty.
Do you offer wedding albums?
Yes, but nothing is mandatory. Once your images are delivered, you’ll be able to select your favorite photos and choose your album directly through your digital gallery. You can do this at your own pace, when the moment feels right.
How far in advance should we book you?
I work with a limited number of couples each year to ensure every story receives the time and care it deserves. If my style resonates with you, I recommend reaching out as soon as you have a date, ideally 10–12 months in advance for high season weekends.
What is the cost of your wedding photography?
Each love story is different and so is my work. After an initial consultation (in person or online), I’ll create a tailor-made quote based on what truly matters to you. My wedding coverage starts from [1000€], but the true value lies in how deeply your memories are felt and preserved.
