Wedding films and photographs in Sicily, told as they happen

We are Marco and Carlo, a filmmaker and a photographer. We work together, on the same day, with the same eye: a cinematic reportage in natural light, for couples who come to Sicily to get married.

Photographs and film

Two authors, one way of seeing

A wedding happens all at once, and it never happens twice. That is why there are two of us, always: Marco with the camera for the film, Carlo for the photographs, in the same rooms at the same time, never in each other's way. The film and the gallery come from the same day and the same eye, and you can tell.

Film

Marco Nicotra

He has been filming weddings since 2017 and photographing since 2013. He edits every film himself, from the first clip to the last cut.

Photography

Carlo Arcidiacono

A reportage photographer before a wedding photographer: he observes, waits, and presses the shutter when the moment happens, not when it is built.

Who we are

How we work

Reportage, natural light, editorial compositions

We do not direct. We are there early and quietly, and we let the day happen: the preparations in the light of a window, the vows said with a shaking voice, the people who came to feel something. What we bring home is what really happened, with the frames and the rhythm of a film.

Natural light first, always. Clean, geometric compositions, the kind you would find in a magazine, around moments nobody posed for. And the sound: the voices, the words you say to each other, the music of that evening. It is the part that brings you back inside the day, years later.

Why reportage is the most elegant way to tell a weddingHow we work, in detail

One place, one film

Salina, Aeolian Islands

Salina from above: a village of white houses at the foot of the mountain, boats on the water

A single day in July at Pollara, where the island drops into the sea.

The wind of the Aeolian Islands, a caper granita, dancing under the lights hung in the trees.

A few photographs

Moments that happened on their own

  • A bride with a lace veil holding a fan to her face, next to the groom in a tuxedo, the sea behind them
  • The couple face to face, laughing, in the backlight of the golden hour in a garden with hydrangeas
  • The bride dancing among the guests at night, chandeliers and streaks of light
  • The bride on a blue and gold armchair, fastening an embroidered shoe
  • A bride with her veil in the wind on the seafront, a blue Ape Calessino and an island in the distance
  • The couple embracing on a boat at golden hour
