“You need to travel deep inside yourself to create a good picture.”
- Roger Ballen, Artist
My name is Stefano and I'm a film wedding photographer and darkroom printer from Florence, Italy. I became a full-time film photographer in 2011 when I founded my Studio (@photosantucci).
I do not see myself as a traditional photographer nor do I follow trends.
Instead, I seek the truth and authenticity in couples with a story to tell.
My approach is documentary: I work behind the scenes without interrupting any moment. I'm an Italian documentary film wedding photographer drawn to this field by my love for photography and a genuine appreciation for beauty.
For me, photography is a privilege, as I believe art should be a mission.
My work revolves around your authentic story, capturing the excitement, the surprise, the unplanned moments, and even the ones you might not remember.
My aim is to provide you with photos that not only make you smile but also evoke emotions ranging from joy to tears and everything in between.
I work best with couples who bring their own vision and voice to their wedding.
If it's your mother's plan, I may not be the right photographer.

Wedding Photographer
Florence, Italy.
Among all the professionals you'll invite into your wedding, I'm the one who protects your memories and the aesthetic of your day with the greatest care. I'm easy to work with, discreet yet attentive, and I do everything in my power to create the very best photographs of your most cherished moments.
One of my favorite quotes has always been:
"If you want to be a good photographer, you should be a good person first."
Think of me not only as your photographer, but as a quiet presence and a guide throughout your wedding day — someone who helps you feel calm during preparations, at ease in front of the camera, and who creates space for you to pause and breathe when the emotions feel overwhelming. I believe in building a genuine relationship with every couple I work with — a curator and an artisan approach to wedding photography, where your story and my craft come together to create something timeless.
Let me
capture
your story
on film.
Photography is my privilege and my art.
Your story deserves to be seen, felt, and remembered.
Tell me about it — whether it's an enquiry or just a hello. I'd love to start a conversation with you.
