Who we are?
Photografica Mangili

THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS

Like fingers of the same hand.

Susanna, Gualtiero, Fabio, Giuseppe, Massimo and Francesco; guys – young in body or young at heart – who have been with me for ages. All of them absolutely reliable and dedicated to their work as to a real, exciting mission – to make your wedding day eternal.

Each of us brings different experiences, but we work with the same reference point and a single style.

We have carved out our niche in the world of photo-video makers. We have built a solid reality on the basis of skills which – over the course of 20 years – have gradually perfected and expanded: photography post-production, video editing, album layout, reception and customer care. Our professional quality also rests on availability. The studio is always operational, ready to assist you, before, during and after the wedding day.

01 A natural lifestyle2023-05-02T22:58:57+00:00
Working is living – do what you are

I love my family, trekking is one of my passions, I adore nature and pets and I believe that a friendship can make life better.

I was born between Como and Bergamo. These places have taught me the sincerity and solidarity of the people, dedication to work and responsibility, the magic of certain landscapes, the indomitability of the mountain and the efforts of walking its paths.
Simple values that I have brought to my work.

Photographing your wedding is doing our best to tell a true story in an unforgettable way. Like when you reach a peak and, after a long walk, you take a good look at the view to fix it in your mind. Only that my eyes are the lens of a camera, and the view is you.

Definitely the wedding day belongs to the newlyweds, but it also becomes a bit mine. I like to give advice, have a say, share, until I collaborate. And I can assure that the results are visible; you can enjoy the event with complete peace of mind.
The climb seems demanding, but roped together everything becomes easier and safer.

02 Always ahead of the game2023-10-03T21:18:05+00:00
I have been building the memory of weddings for over 20 years, and weddings have built me, shot after shot.

Photographing weddings is a complex job; the desire to make an event unforgettable, the promise to always do better, the tenacity to resist overcoming limits and difficulties.

A wedding photo can only be seen after, after that day has passed.

But my job starts before, foreseeing any critical issues and solving the problem before it even occurs.

Then the event startsI must always be there without getting in the way, seize the moment without losing the spontaneity of emotions.

After the last hug, when the party is over and everyone goes home, I enter the studio and meet my collaborators.

Retouching serves to improve what was not perfect, to make the reality captured by the lens unique.

The group serves to divide the tasks in the post-production phase and to plan delivery times to ensure maximum quality and punctuality.

03 Creating an excellent relationship of trust2023-10-03T21:18:19+00:00
Strange to say, but on the big day, as a perfect stranger, I am the one who will spend more time with you than the others.

I will be there, always there – the first to arrive and the last to leave.

I start by doing everything to put you at ease, there must be perfect harmony between us.

I won’t bother you, no long poses on command during the event – I look for spontaneity because emotion is captured only when it’s authentic.

I have to observe everything so as not to miss anything. I move with the utmost discretion.

I’m always one step behind, ready to make myself clearly visible only if someone is looking for me. I will be everywhere without you noticing me.

04 Respecting the work of others2023-10-03T21:18:35+00:00

During the wedding the rhythms of the professionals in action are tight, there’s a frenzy of activity because everything is calculated to be perfect.

I believe that knowing how to move while respecting the work of others is the starting point to create a serene atmosphere that will be perceived.

The rest comes almost as a consequence; a relationship of mutual trust is established with the owners of the locations, the planning dictated by the wedding planner is followed and the needs of the catering managers are recognized.

Full cooperation guarantees maximum freedom of action and the strength to deal with any eventuality.

Acting in harmony as one whole can be of great help because the conditions in which we work may sometimes change. In the middle of the dream, something can happen:

Has the ceremony taken longer than expected and so there is a delay to make up for? Is a storm threatening or is it starting to get dark? It might happen but there is always a solution – always:

The secret is being able to transform the unexpected into an opportunity.

It’s the beauty of creativity and the power of sharing.

05 Taking advantage of unexpected events and mishaps2023-10-03T21:18:52+00:00
What if it rains?

You will be as beautiful as ever
Everyone invites the sun to their wedding, but if it doesn’t show up, there’s a way to make the most of the opportunity. With a mix of technique and technology, fantastic photos can be obtained – with unexpected effects. When you look at them, you will see that even the rain can be as beautiful as the sun.

What if there’s no light?

We turn on the sun when it’s not shining
Photographing means drawing with light; it’s difficult to get good pictures in bad light. Therefore, the imperative is to make that light better, even at the cost of inventing it. Proper management of the tools – artificial lights, filters, flashes and tripods – can make the difference; we can make the sun shine on the darkest day! For a photographer it’s a really tough challenge, but in the end the result is unique, if you know how to get it.

What if the best light is there, but it changes quickly?

We will convince it to stay
A fiery sunset is perfect, not to be missed, and doesn’t wait. It’s all about being prepared. Tools, availability of the location, organization of timing are my most faithful allies for photos that are beautiful even before they are taken.

What if there’s no time?

We will find it
On the big day there’s no time to waste. It’s just a matter of being organized.
With my collaborators I have developed an infallible method to reduce the time for posing – 10/15 minutes is enough for the most impatient! A great achievement, because it means putting all the newlyweds at ease – those who don’t notice the passing of time, just to see themselves in a studied and re-studied photo as well as those who don’t want to miss even a moment of the party, not for a photo.

06 Eliminating the risks2023-10-03T21:19:05+00:00
The task of a wedding photographer is not only to take beautiful photos, but to ensure that every phase of the photo shoot is managed in the best way, under any conditions – which comes with a certain responsibility.

This is also why I’ve chosen not to work alone. I’ve surrounded myself with very special collaborators – boys and girls with some gray hair – always ready to come to the aid of each other to solve any critical issues.

Act as a team, see each other as family. So we can work without any worries and you can have sweet dreams!

We have set up and tested a backup system that protects us from any technological impasse.

We have at least two spare cameras each, several quickly replaceable lenses, dual memory cards mounted on each camera for recording and saving images, and many other tricks that will keep everyone safe.

07 Your best allies2023-10-30T14:44:30+00:00
I like to ensure maximum availability and find time for a new meeting.

When filling out the form, please indicate the date that best suits you. It will be the first step in getting to know each other.
