Hi, I’m Daniele.
I’m a destination wedding photographer based in Italy, passionate about creating images that feel honest, timeless, and deeply personal.
Born and raised in Italy, I’ve always been fascinated by photography and by the way a single image can preserve not only how a moment looked, but how it felt.
Beyond photography, two other passions have always been part of who I am: music and surfing. I’ve been playing guitar and singing for as long as I can remember, and I find a natural connection between music and photography — both are ways of expressing something that words sometimes cannot.
Surfing is different. It’s my escape. Whenever I’m close to the ocean, you’ll probably find me somewhere in the water, catching a wave.
I love travelling, discovering new places, meeting new people, and becoming part of the stories I’m there to document. Whether it’s an intimate celebration in the Italian countryside, a grand destination wedding, or a ceremony somewhere completely new, I approach every wedding with a creative and intuitive eye.
I’m there to capture the beauty, the energy, the people, and all those little moments in between — creating photographs that will bring you back to how it all felt.
PURA VIDA STUDIO was born to create images
that reflect the excitement, joy,
romance, and, of course, love.
With over 10 years of experience and features
in top wedding publications, we capture your
unforgettable moments, making them
eternal over time through a discreet and humble approach.
Based in Italy and ready to join you worldwide.
Daniele, founder of the Pura Vida studio, will personally attend your wedding. 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 3 weeks 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 30 days to deliver your custom handmade fine art wedding album.
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. The remaining balance is divided into two additional payments: approximately 40% due 120 days before the wedding,
and the final balance due on your wedding day.
