Portrait of Elisabetta Rosso, wedding photographer, black and white

01The photographer

Elisabetta Rosso

“The most beautiful moments of a wedding are the ones the couple will never see. They are living them from the inside. Someone has to live them from the outside, for them.”

She was an electronic engineer. About twenty years ago she left it for photography, and graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti.

One of her landscapes took first place at National Geographic Italia. The Wedding Photojournalist Association selected her in 2015. Her work is documented in an encyclopedia.

“The subject changes. The eye does not.”

Never posed.Your guests are not arranged. Your day is not interrupted.
Never in the way.Close when it counts, far when it should be.
Never unprepared.She studies the light of your venue before the day.

Quotations from her manifesto, La Storia che Resta, translated from Italian.

05Chosen

Trusted with the private day.
