♡ Laura and her details ♡
.
Laura and Bassem chose not to have their pictures published on the social medias, but yet some details are worth to be seen.
It's a decision that I, as a social-shy, completely understand and respect, even if I am at the same time so proud and enthusiastic about what we created together! The result was just amazing, like the day itself ♡
.
Ps. Starting loving double exposures as crazy ♡

I’ve been so “socially-shy” lately, I don’t even know how to start. But, according to the rules of “social etiquette”, an introduction needs to be made!
.
This is Elena. I’m the one behind the camera: I’m extra tall for an Italian woman, I love my long hair and I have an Italian accent in every language I speak. I fell in love with wedding photography in 2015, when I worked as an assistant for Nabis Studio in Rome, and I never stopped ever since, even when I moved to Brussels. The reason why I came to live in Belgium 4 years ago is basically very simple: it was for love. And no matter how hard it was to get used to such a different city, to get far from some of my best friends, to say goodbye to warm weather and sunny winters, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but with Wilson.
.
When I was ready to start my wedding photography business in this new county, Covid19 arrived. At the same time, life gave me a series of events, one after another, that challenged me, overwhelmed me, deeply changed me in many ways. In comparison, Covid was a blurry background, a small unforeseen obstacle to be overcome as soon as possible. I started my business in survival mode, and I kept it like that until recently.
.
I thought a lot, during this time, whether it was appropriate to talk on Instagram about what I experienced, in this historical moment when everything is shared on social media. And only recently I realized why I never really succeeded in that and why I decided that I will not do it here. It is a matter of personal ethics, absolutely without judging who shares their lives. It is for the same reason I left photojournalism 7 years ago. It's because, just as I wasn't comfortable looking for and photographing people's suffering to have work to do, I wasn't comfortable using my own pain to use it in my marketing and communication.
.
Now, slowly, something is changing: even if my core aways stayed positive, loyal and enthusiastic, I’m starting to see the new shapes of the person I’m becoming, more conscious, more mature, with different boundaries and different priorities.
This is my smile. I have many, many reasons to smile. Wedding photography is surely one of them.

So classy!
Anna and Charles were made to stay in front of my camera!

Fun story: the ceremony started late and lasted a few minutes to get back inline with the schedule, but it was the last one of the day. When we were going out of the city hall and I followed everybody to capture hugs and smiles, the town officials locked immediately the doors behind me because they were late. My backpack left inside, with my keys and wallet. Fortunately I had everything I needed on me to finish the shooting for Anna and Charles! - Then I had to go to the police and make the door open for me.

Hands.⁠
If I lost the gift of seeing, I'd want to potentiate my hands. To amplify the touch, the way I can feel the surface of things. The way I can touch your skin.⁠
