THIS IS ME

Hi, I’m Rocco – Italian born, lover of pizza (naturally), and photographer for over 25 years.

With a name like mine, a flair for the dramatic was inevitable. I was a drummer in a past life, but these days you’ll find me chasing light, telling stories through the lens, and occasionally debating the best way to reheat leftover pizza (it’s the oven, not the microwave—trust me).

Photography has been my passion for over 25 years. As a Melbourne wedding photographer, I’m drawn to moments that feel real, expressive, and timeless — images that go beyond how things look, and speak to how they felt.

Whether it’s a wedding, a portrait, or a creative project, I’d love to hear how I can bring your vision to life.

"Thank you both again for everything you did for us!!"

“We had the best day, our family and friends loved working with Rocco and Tanya and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough!!”

– Bianca & Adem

"Our wedding day an absolute fairytale"

Rocco and Tanya not only made our wedding day an absolute fairytale but the entire lead up to the day was a breeze with them. My wedding day honestly wouldn’t have been half as beautiful as it was without them.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing your photographer is one of the most personal decisions you’ll make while planning your wedding. You’re not just looking for beautiful images—you’re looking for trust, ease, and a creative partnership that understands your vision. This collection of questions covers what many couples ask when we begin working together—from timelines and travel to our process on the day. It’s designed to give you insight into how Tanya and I work as a team, and to help you feel confident, informed, and inspired.

My approach blends editorial and documentary styles. I’ll gently guide you when needed to create composed, timeless images. But I’m always watching for the candid moments—the laughter, the warmth, the connection. My goal isn’t just images that look good, but ones that feel true.

Rain can actually give you beautiful, moody photos. I plan for both sunny and cloudy days. I bring clear umbrellas, find great covered spots, and adjust our schedule if needed—always with a calm, creative approach.

Yes — Tanya is my second shooter and assistant. Together, we cover both the big moments and the little ones. She captures angles I can’t always be at, picks up reactions, and helps with logistics. We work as a team so you get broader coverage and more peace of mind.

To secure your ideal date, I recommend booking 12 to 18 months ahead, especially during peak seasons in Melbourne (spring and autumn). If your wedding is coming up sooner, don’t worry—reach out anyway. Sometimes I can accommodate shorter timelines.

Yes — they’re included in all standard collections. A pre-wedding session is relaxed, fun, and helps you feel confident in front of the camera. It’s also a chance for us to get to know each other, so your wedding day feels more natural. Locations can be anywhere special to you—city streets, nature, somewhere meaningful.

I’ve worked at many of Melbourne’s most iconic venues—and plenty of hidden gems too. If we haven’t worked at your venue yet, I’ll visit beforehand to understand the light, the layout, and what makes it unique. That prep helps your photos feel more personal, true to the setting, and more beautiful.

You’ll get a sneak peek shortly after the wedding so you can relive moments while you’re still in that glow. The full gallery will be delivered within 1-2 weeks. Every image is curated and polished with care—so they look beautiful and mean something.

Absolutely. Whether your wedding is in Melbourne, somewhere else in Australia, or halfway around the world—we go where your love story takes us. We bring the same creative vision, attention to detail, and energy to every location.

Yes. Your wedding deserves more than just digital files. We design custom fine art albums on high-quality paper—crafted to be held and cherished. We also offer prints and wall pieces, perfect for bringing your favourite images into your home in a beautiful way.

Yes, for your peace of mind. I carry full public liability insurance and use professional-grade equipment, all backed up with spare cameras, lenses, and storage. I shoot with dual memory-card cameras to make sure your images are safe from the moment they’re captured.

It’s simple. Once we’ve connected and you’re ready, I’ll send a proposal that outlines your chosen collection. A signed agreement + booking deposit ensures your date is reserved. From there, I’ll guide you through timeline planning, location choices, and album design. It’s more than a booking—it’s the beginning of our creative partnership.
