ABOUT PUGLIA
Puglia is the Italy most people never find.
Trulli rooftops, ancient olive groves, whitewashed hilltowns, and an Adriatic light that photographers spend careers chasing.
Puglia has become one of the great destination wedding regions in Italy, and for good reason. Masseria estates set among centuries-old olive trees, cave receptions carved into limestone, rooftop ceremonies in Ostuni above the sea. Each venue here has a sense of history and place that no purpose-built venue can replicate.
I've worked across the region, from the Valle d'Itria and the trulli of Alberobello to the baroque streets of Lecce and the coast at Polignano a Mare. Whether you're planning a full destination wedding at a masseria or an intimate elopement for two, Puglia will give you images that feel timeless and unmistakably real.
My approach in Puglia
Cinematic, unhurried,
always honest.
I don't direct. I observe, anticipate, and disappear into the background until the light and the emotion align. Then I'm exactly where I need to be.
Puglia light is unlike anywhere else in Italy. The sun hits the white stone of Ostuni and the ochre walls of Lecce differently at every hour. The afternoon light in an olive grove is extraordinary. The blue hour over the Adriatic is brief and completely worth waiting for. I plan every timeline around those moments.
My work has been featured in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, The New York Times, Over The Moon, and Magnolia Rouge. I've been named one of Rangefinder's 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography.
AS SEEN IN
"Puglia felt like a secret and JL treated it that way. He knew the light in that olive grove better than we did. The photos feel ancient and completely ours at the same time."
