Wedding at the Smolak Farms

Hello! Thank you for visiting… and here is a little bit about me. I was born and grew up in Italy, in Salerno a beautiful city on the southern coast of the Sorrentine Peninsula, minutes away from the romantic Amalfi Coast. Some of my fondest memories of growing up in Italy involve weddings celebrations when I was a young boy. I recall the people, the music, the delicious food and everything else that contributed to the festive atmosphere. But even with all these distractions, I always kept a close eye on the photographer, I was fascinated by the big camera equipment. I got exited, I wanted to be like that guy taking pictures at the bride and groom! Around age 10, I received a manual 35mm film camera as a gift and was quickly hooked on taking pictures one roll of film after the other. I shot my first wedding, on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, at age 17. Soon I was shooting a few weddings a year, still life photography and family portraits. These days, I have the honor of being the wedding photographer at over 30 weddings each year. I like to photograph only one wedding per day, so that my attention is focus only on your special day. My experience has taught me the finer points of wedding photography, such as how to capture the look in a couple’s eyes as they exchange vows or share their first dance. These are precious moments that come only once in a lifetime — and I make sure to get them right. Beside wedding photography I do also enjoy corporate events and professional portraits.
