  • HOW DID YOU BECOME A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?

    I started as a photojournalist in Berlin/Germany. One day, a friend of mine asked me to document his brother’s wedding and that was the moment when I fell in love with weddings, and from that day on I’m traveling the world to photograph beautiful weddings.

  • WHAT’S YOUR STYLE?

    I like to call it a “creative documentary style.” Having a photojournalism background, my photography is very natural without too much interference from me but I’m always looking for interesting light, angles, and backgrounds.

  • WHAT ABOUT YOUR RATES?

    I’m happy to send you a personalized pricing proposal, just fill out the form in CONTACT.

  • WHAT ABOUT VAT?

    All my prices are generally exclusive of VAT. Here is why:

    In Italy, as a photographer, we have two different kinds of value-added tax (VAT).

    If you’d like to book an artistic photography service, I will send you all photographs as previews, and you can choose 30 images to be printed and signed by me – in this case, a 10% VAT will apply.

    Otherwise, if you’d like to have more than 30 photographs, it’s not considered “artistic” anymore and we have to apply 22% VAT.

    I can explain better when we meet on Zoom for a chat.

  • WHERE WILL YOU TRAVEL?

    Anywhere. I love to travel. I’ve shot weddings in Canada, the USA, Spain, Germany, the UK, Switzerland, France, Monte-Carlo and all Italy of course.

  • LET’S MEET – HOW CAN WE TALK?

    I’ve always found it much helpful to meet in person or via Zoom/Skype to tackle questions and answers. Let’s meet for coffee in my studio in Liguria or virtually on Skype. Let me know what time works best for you.

  • HOW MANY HOURS DO YOU OFFER ON THE WEDDING DAY?

    My service covers the entire day from getting ready until the dances. But I’m happy to stay as long as you want me with you.

  • HOW DO WE BOOK & PAY?

    Easy. After we set up a meeting in person, phone call, or Skype you’ll receive all the payment details and an electronic agreement to read and sign online.
    IMPORTANT: These two things are required to save your date. I can’t hold any dates without. There are times of the year where I receive plenty of inquiries for the same date and that’s the reason why I work on a “first-come, first-served basis”.

  • HOW MANY PHOTOS DO WE GET?

    I typically deliver 1,000-2,000 images per wedding.

  • WHEN DO WE GET THE PHOTOS?

    One week after your wedding you’ll get all the images.

  • HOW DO WE GET OUR PHOTOS?

    You’ll have your private online gallery which you can share with all your families and friends in the world.

  • DO YOU PROVIDE A PRINT AND DISTRIBUTION RELEASE?

    Absolutely. You can print your photos wherever you want and you can distribute them around the internet too for private use. I also provide prints from my professional print lab if you want them done well.

  • DO YOU TAKE FAMILY/GROUP PORTRAITS?

    Of course. I love them. Often a wedding is the only time where all the family members will be in the same place at the same time, and I think it’s important to document that.

  • DO YOU HAVE ANY CLIENT REVIEWS?

    Yes! Here we go, please take a look at my references: LINK

  • IF WE DON’T WANT OUR WEDDING TO BE BLOGGED?

    I totally understand if you want your wedding to remain private.

  • CAN MY UNCLE BOB TAKE PHOTOS DURING MY WEDDING?

    Sure. I never have any problem with photographing guests, videographers, or anyone else. Of course, sometimes they happen into my frames if you like to avoid that just let them know before.

  • DO YOU RECOMMEND A WEDDING ALBUM?

    I believe having your wedding images printed is extremely important. A wedding album will follow you for the rest of your life and one day you’ll be happy and proud to show it to your kids. Once your photos will be ready, I’ll be happy to show you some wonderful handmade leather albums “Made in Itay” I’m offering.

  • DO YOU OFFER ENGAGEMENT, PRE OR POST WEDDING SESSIONS?

    Yes, it’s a great way for you to get some beautiful pictures to use for your wedding invitations, for your walls at home, your social media, or wherever you want to look nice. I call them YOU-SESSION and there are some sessions on my blog.

  • WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?

    I’m a featured photographer over at shotkit.com/julian-kanz

  • IS THIS YOUR REAL JOB?

    Yes. I’ve been working as a professional photographer since 2008. I’ve photographed 600+ weddings.
