Your Villa IgieaWedding, CapturedWith Timeless Artistry
Editorial wedding photographer at Palermo's most iconic Art Nouveau palazzo. Where Florio dynasty grandeur meets your love story — preserved with the elegance it deserves.
Meets Your Love Story
Villa Igiea is not merely a venue. It is a living masterpiece — a turn-of-the-century palazzo where the Florio dynasty once hosted royalty, where Ernesto Basile's Art Nouveau vision still breathes in every fresco, and where the Gulf of Palermo stretches endlessly beyond the terraces.
As your photographer, I know every corner of this extraordinary place. The way golden hour light floods the Sala Basile, painting its Liberty-style frescoes in warm amber. The quiet intimacy of the English Garden at dusk. The sweeping drama of the Terrazza Mare as the Tyrrhenian Sea turns to silk beneath a Sicilian sunset.
This isn't a location I photograph at. It's a place I understand — deeply, personally, artistically.
a Different Story
Sala Basile
The jewel of Villa Igiea. Liberty-style frescoes by Ettore De Maria Bergler create a setting that feels like stepping inside a painting. Perfect for intimate portraits with extraordinary depth.
Terrazza Mare
Overlooking the entire Gulf of Palermo, this sun-drenched terrace offers breathtaking backdrops from golden hour to blue hour. Where sea, sky and your story become one.
Belle Époque Ballroom
The grandeur of a bygone era. High ceilings, crystal chandeliers, marble floors — a magnificent setting for your reception that photographs with timeless sophistication.
Tiered Gardens & Temple
The hidden gem. Lush Mediterranean greenery cascading toward the sea, with a picturesque stone temple tucked within the grounds. Magical for ceremony and couple portraits.
Villa Igiea
Every frame captures the Art Nouveau grandeur and Mediterranean light that make this venue extraordinary.
Knows This Place
I Understand the Light
Villa Igiea's light changes dramatically throughout the day. I know exactly when the Sala Basile glows with soft warmth, when the terrace catches the perfect golden hour, and where to find the most flattering natural light in every season.
Alex captured light in ways I didn't think were possible. Every photo feels like a painting. — Amber & Art, USA
Discreet & Elegant Presence
You won't feel watched. My approach is quiet, intuitive, respectful. You live your day — I capture it unfolding naturally. No intrusive directions. No awkward poses. Just real moments, elevated with editorial sensibility.
We forgot there was a photographer. Every image feels effortlessly natural. — Carola & Giovanni, Italy
Meticulous Organisation
From timeline planning to venue coordination, I work seamlessly with Villa Igiea's events team and your wedding planner. You receive a detailed shooting plan before the day — so everything flows with calm precision.
Everything was planned to perfection. Zero stress. Zero surprises. Just beautiful moments. — Giorgio & Alessia, Italy
A Destination.
Your Villa Igiea wedding isn't just about the ceremony and reception. Palermo offers an extraordinary backdrop for pre-wedding shoots, rehearsal dinners, and morning-after brunches.
From the Baroque splendour of Piazza Pretoria to the vibrant chaos of Vucciria Market, from hidden courtyards to dramatic coastlines — I can guide you to locations that transform your wedding weekend into a complete visual narrative.
Based in Sicily, I know Palermo the way only a local can. Not as a tourist with a camera — but as someone who has walked these streets for years, discovering light and beauty in every corner.

This Work
Hi, I'm Alex. I fell in love with wedding photography not because of cameras or compositions — but because of people.
There's something sacred about being invited into someone's most important day. The nervousness before the ceremony. The father's eyes when he sees his daughter. The way you two look at each other when no one's watching.
That's what makes me feel alive.
I grew up in Sicily, surrounded by extraordinary light and endless stories. My approach is quiet, intuitive, human. You live your day — I capture it unfolding naturally.

My Villa Igiea wedding photography starts from €2,500. Most couples invest between €2,500 and €3,500, which includes full-day coverage, 300–500 edited images, and a premium 30×20cm album. Every proposal is tailored to your specific needs.
The Sala Basile (Art Nouveau frescoes), Terrazza Mare (Gulf of Palermo views), Belle Époque Ballroom, tiered English gardens, and the stone temple are all extraordinary. I'll recommend the perfect spots based on your timeline and the light on your date.
