Are you planning your wedding in Italy?
Together we will turn it into a masterpiece.
Capturing the memories in a beautiful image is my task. It’s my job.
My name is Cristian Mangili and I am a photographer specialized in shooting weddings: photos and videos.
The
Factory
of memories

WHAT YOU LEARNED YESTERDAY, THROUGH EXPERIENCE, BRINGS THE DESIRED RESULT TODAY. WHEN IT’S TIME, EVERYTHING GOES SMOOTH.
Italy offers dream sceneries.
I’ve been photographing weddings for many years. With the experience and the refinement of skills, I have widened my range of action; I love to set my photo shoots in different places, sometimes very far away, following your taste. Just find your destination and off we go.
You could choose the lake: Lake Como with its most renowned locations – Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio – and its most beautiful villas – Villa del Balbianello, Villa Serbelloni, Villa Monastero Pax, Villa Carlotta, Villa Erba, Villa Aura del Lago, Villa Cipressi, Villa d’Este and the Grand Hotel Tremezzo.
Or you could imagine yourself on the shores of another lake: Lake Maggiore or Lake Garda. Or even you could dream of getting married in the hills of Tuscany, in the magic atmosphere of Venice, in the sun of the Amalfi Coast. Maybe in Umbria, in Rome, in Sicily or anywhere else in Italy.
Each frame will be like a painting, capable of bringing back memories. And through these memories, you will experience the magic of your special day again and again.
The real weds: Storytelling & reportage
The beauty of live coverage, the strength of intuition
The best photos are the ones you don’t expect.
It’s not enough to photograph anything that moves. You have to get in tune, become one with who you are in front of. A whole day dedicated to shooting a wedding can turn into thousands of shots – it is important to move discreetly to see without being seen.
In real wedding I prefer techniques and solutions that belong to the cinema world: the choice of lenses, the type of shot, the intensity of the light, the sharpness of the image.
I have to capture, immortalize reality as it is, without filters, and report it with the photo as if it were a film, with the authenticity of what is happening and the spontaneity of people not posing. I’ve learned to do it with my own style. Photos become frames, and albums become stories to relive over and over again.
Love is art: The Wow effect
The photo that is no longer just a photo
When the goal is a special photo – the one that tells a detail of the dress or hairstyle, a glimpse of the landscape, a corner of the villa or perhaps an emotion that shines through the face – I like to customize the technique as much as possible and therefore the result. I decide the poses, I want the perfect light, I choose the effect. I’ve created the line Love is Art – and the photo becomes beauty to be framed.
How long does it take?
Think about your wedding day and calculate the time needed for the dress, the hairdresser, the ceremony, the party and the greetings. How many minutes do you still have left to look at the camera or where I will tell you? 40, 30, 20 minutes? I will adjust according to your answer and make the most of every second.
In many years I have collected a huge amount of shots – I have studied and analyzed positions designed for every physicality. By now I can find the perfect pose in seconds. And trust me – you will love it.
Which location have you chosen?
I know many of them, others will be a discovery. What doesn’t change is the method. I carry out inspections, analyze the strengths and weaknesses; I get ready. And everything will be perfect. Guaranteed.
Movies: Video in cinema style
The cinema is you
Coming soon to cinemas Your wedding. Videos are our forte; we have many years of experience behind us and we are able to manage every stage of production within the studio.
The equipment we have available is varied: drones, lights, gimbals, sliders and much more. We record in log formats, thus guaranteeing maximum color rendering, texture and mood that closely resemble cinematography.
There is no Lights, camera, action! – there must not be – because everything will be directed by naturalness, by the spontaneity of gestures, by the unpredictability of expressions. Forced posing is strictly prohibited. Your special day will become a real movie without you even realizing it.
The editing enhances the direction of the video, and the choice of the soundtrack is important. The music gives intensity to each frame; it decides the tone of the story and the rhythm of the movement. Rock? Dance? Romantic? Introspective? Moving? The taste is yours; the technique is ours alone.
