Hi there, I’m Daniele!
I’m a destination wedding photographer with a passion for capturing love stories around the world.
I was born and raised in Italy, and I’ve always been fascinated by the art of photography.
As much as I love photography, there are two other passions that run just as deep: music and surfing.
I’ve been playing guitar and singing for as long as I can remember, and I find that music and photography have a lot in common. Both allow you to express yourself in unique and powerful ways, and both have the ability to move people in profound ways.
Surfing, on the other hand, is my escape. Whenever I’m near the ocean, you can bet that I’ll be out there catching waves.
I love traveling to new destinations, meeting new people, and capturing the beauty of each couple’s love story in stunning locations.
Whether it’s a beachside ceremony or a mountaintop exchange of vows, I approach each shoot with a creative and intuitive spirit, always striving to capture the essence of the moment.
In my free time, you’ll likely find me strumming my guitar, riding the waves, or exploring new destinations with my camera in hand.

Daniele, founder of the Pura Vida studio, will personally attend your wedding accompanied by a second photographer from the team. If I'm already booked for your date, I will provide packages with our skilled associate photographers, trained by me and sharing my artistic vision.
I enhance the beauty of the subjects in each image without altering their natural features incorporating a few black and white images. The end result is not just a collection of individually stunning photographs but a set of images that create a cohesive and professional experience.
I provide the fully edited high-resolution files for all the photos captured throughout the day. For a 10-hour wedding, you can expect approximately 1000 images. However, I do not supply RAW files. My editing plays a crucial role in defining Studio signature style, and sharing RAWs would diminish the unique value of the brand.
I ensure the delivery of fully edited images within 60 days from the wedding day. However, I'm happy to provide you with a small curated selection shortly after the wedding day for your official announcement. Once you've selected your favorite photos for the album, I'll take no more than an additional 60 days to deliver your custom handmade fine art wedding album.
Absolutely yes. Video is also crucial in capturing the diverse emotions that a photo alone may not fully convey. I invite you to check out the dedicated section on our website for more information.
I'm based in Rome but I have a passion for travel! Throughout the wedding season, I'm frequently on the move, capturing moments from weddings across Italy, from the enchanting landscapes of Tuscany and the northern lakes to the scenic southern beaches.
To secure your wedding date, I require a 30% deposit along with a signed contract.
