Andrea Cittadini

Contact Andrea Cittadini

I'm Andrea Cittadini, Italian wedding photographer with nearly 20 years of experience capturing love stories across Italy and beyond. My approach blends the elegance of editorial photography with the authenticity of candid storytelling, allowing each couple's true essence to shine through.

My roots in analog photography have shaped the way I see light, moments and emotion. I shoot with intention, not repetition, seeking out the decisive moment rather than relying on post-production. This awareness allows me to craft images that are timeless, sincere and deeply human.

My work doesn't stop at pure reportage. I believe the most powerful wedding photography lives at the intersection of two worlds: the honesty of photojournalism and the beauty of editorial vision. I know how to observe without intruding but also when to step in to create artful, cinematic portraits that elevate your story without distorting it.

I handcraft museum-quality prints using ancient processes like Wetplate Collodion, Platinum-Palladium and Van Dyke, turning your memories into enduring works of art.

Let me step into your world. I'll leave you with something priceless: emotions, preserved forever.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I'm based in central Italy. The travel costs will be evaluated case by case if needed.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I’ve been a full-time wedding photographer for nearly 20 years and have photographed over 400 weddings as the main photographer, both in Italy and internationally.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

I combine the honesty of reportage with the beauty of editorial photography, guided by an analog-trained eye for light and emotion.

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

I’ve been honored with numerous international awards throughout my career, including Photographer of the Year by the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) e il titolo di fotografo dell'anno 2022 per la IWPOTY and multiple 1st place titles with the ISPWP and Masters of Italian Wedding Photography. I’ve been named among the Top 10 and Top 25 wedding photographers in the world several times by WPJA and my work has received over 150 international awards to date.

I also represented Italy in the World Photographic Cup and have served as a judge in international wedding photography competitions.

I collaborate with international art galleries, exhibit fine art work and have taught masterclasses on historic photographic printing techniques such as Wetplate Collodion and Van Dyke.
