We had contacted Ignazio to capture our engagement in Monopoli. With a language barrier between us, there was no hesitation in sourcing a translator for us. The pictures ignazio created for us are out of this world & we can't thank him enough for his services. The delicate touches he suggested brought the whole day to another level. I would not hesitate recommending ignazio to anybody. Creating amazing photos & a truly amazing human. We are so happy to have Ignazio & Pietro in our love story forever. Grazie mille x
