Sicily
We are Carlo Arcidiacono, the photographer, and Marco Nicotra, the filmmaker, and we come to your wedding together: the same day, the same rooms, the same way of looking. What you take home is a gallery and a film that tell one story, because they come from two people who always work side by side.
Sicily is where we live, Marco in Giarre on the Ionian side of Etna, Carlo in Lentini towards Siracusa. Below are the places on the island where we have told weddings, each with its film and, where we have them online, its photographs, and the questions couples ask us before they write.
Photographs and film
Róisín and Ken, from Dublin: three days at Casa La Carrubbazza, on the slopes of Etna, in September 2025. Marco's film and Carlo's photographs of the same days. You can watch one and look through the other, and they tell the same story.
This is what we mean by the same two authors: a filmmaker and a photographer who decide together where to stand, never in each other's way, and who keep the same idea of your day from the first frame to the last.
Marco lives in Giarre, between the volcano and the sea. On Etna we told Róisín and Ken's three days at Casa La Carrubbazza, in San Gregorio di Catania, in 2025, and in 2026 a welcome party among the vineyards of Linguaglossa and Rovittello with the wedding the day after, four of us on photographs and film.
Lava stone, vineyards and old estates. On this side of the island the sun rises from the sea and goes down behind the volcano.
Róisín and Ken · September 2025
Three days of an Irish wedding on the slopes of the volcano, in Marco's film and Carlo's photographs.
North of Etna the coast climbs into the hills. In Savoca, the village of The Godfather, Isabela and Luiz eloped in May 2026 with a celebrant and a violin. In Taormina, at the end of August 2026, we told a wedding in a historic hotel above the sea, in photographs and film.
Isabela and Luiz · May 2026
Two people, a celebrant and a violin in the village of The Godfather: Isabela and Luiz's film.
Salina, July 2025: Valeria and Giuseppe's wedding at Pollara, where the island drops into the sea, with dinner and dancing at La Locanda del Postino. We slept on the island, and the next morning the drone went up over Salina.
Valeria and Giuseppe · July 2025
One day in July at Pollara, where the island drops into the sea: Valeria and Giuseppe's wedding film.
Danielle and Christian, from the United States, two days in September 2025: the welcome at Villa Catalfamo, the ceremony facing the sea at Hotel Le Calette. We told it in vertical, to be watched in your pocket.
Danielle and Christian · September 2025
From the welcome at Villa Catalfamo to the ceremony facing the sea at Le Calette: Danielle and Christian's story, in vertical.
Carlo lives in Lentini, on the road to Siracusa. In Siracusa we told the wedding of Daniela and Fabrizio: their reel is on the page about what we do.
In the west we have filmed at Baglio Strafalcello, near Castellammare del Golfo, in July 2025, and at the Tonnara di Scopello in June 2026. Further south, in 2026: a wedding in Menfi between a beach club and a wine estate, a white party on the beach at the Scala dei Turchi, a bridal fashion show at the Teatro Pirandello in Agrigento.
Yes, and it is the reason we exist as a studio. Carlo photographs and Marco films, both in person at every wedding we take, in the same rooms at the same time and never in each other's way. When the day asks for it, a second photographer and a second filmmaker from our team join us, and we are four.
Across the whole island. On this page are the places where we have already told weddings, from Etna to the Aeolian Islands, from Cefalù to Scopello. We also travel elsewhere in Italy and, when the story is worth it, further. Tell us where, and we will answer honestly.
Many are: a welcome dinner the evening before, a pool party or a brunch the day after. We tell those too, with the same team or a smaller one, and the story grows to hold them. Tell us how the days are laid out and we will say what makes sense.
Italian and English, in person and in writing. Your film can carry subtitles for the vows and the speeches, so that whoever did not understand the language that day can follow everything: we have done it for couples who said their vows in Portuguese and in French.
Where the area allows it. In Italy the aviation authority sets flight restrictions in several zones, and where there is one, flying is not possible: it does not depend on us. We check the place before the wedding and tell you what is possible, not after.
Within six months of the wedding, three for an elopement. Marco edits every film himself, from the first clip to the last cut, and Carlo develops the photographs one by one. Nothing is handed to anyone else.
As soon as you have a date. We never take more than one wedding a day, so a date is either free or it is not, and it becomes yours only when the contract is signed.
Send us the date and the place: we reply ourselves, in English or in Italian, and we tell you straight away whether the date is free.
