Where are the places where you work?
Any place where you would like us to narrate the story of your wedding day. We love to travel as much as we love to meet new people and discover new ways of doing things. It is great when it all comes together in a wedding day!
We are based in Rome but we do photo shoots all over Italy, mainly in Lazio, Tuscany, Umbria and Puglia.
We are available for anywhere in Italy and outside.
Why are the prices not published on the web site?

How can we book the photography service for our wedding day?
Very simple. The booking of the photo shoot is done through a contract which summarizes the agreement (names and data of the photographers and newlyweds, type of services chosen, products purchased, venues and timetable for the wedding day, etc,) and 30% advance payment is made as a guarantee of the agreement.
Only upon signature of the contract between photographers and newlyweds and confirmation of the advanced payment received, the actual date is officially confirmed.
We like the photos we see on the web. But how do we know who took them?
It is simple. Every wedding gallery pubblished on the website has a box with the name of the photographer/photographers who work in.
All the photos you see on the website have been taken by Luca Panvini working alone or in pair with another professional photographer of Reportage di Matrimoni Studio.
In additional you can visit the web page studio where you will find the profile of professional photographers who work in the studio and photos divided by photographer for ease of reference.
We like to be transparent and believe that being professional is a fundamental prerequisite for our type of work as is respect for our potential clients as well as for fellow colleagues.
Who will come to do the photography service on our wedding day?
In the contract that is signed it is always specified who will be doing the entire wedding photography service and be responsible for all the other phases. The selected photographer will be chosen by you and you will be able to meet him/her before the wedding.
In case we are not available for your chosen day, we will be happy to suggest you other professionals with whom we share style and our way of working.
We love natural color pictures but we would also like some photos in black and white. Is that possible?
Of course it is. During the wedding day we take pictures in color, and if requested by the newlyweds, in the post production phase the selected and the most flattering photographs will be postproducted also in black and white version. Our post production editing phase is professionally applied to each photographic file.
We look at quality and not quantity.
We like spontaneous pictures but we would still like to have some portrait photos with relatives and friends. Is it possible?
Of course it is. We like spontaneous photos which capture candid moments of your wedding because we think that those will represent the best moments and all the emotions of your wedding day which you can keep through out time.
Nonetheless, a nice photo of the group and some posed photographs, mainly of the newlyweds with their parents and closes friends is reccomended in order to deliver a complete documentation of the wedding day.
Usually the session of the posed photos is done during the reception and if previously organized it is a short session (around 20 minutes) leaving you and your invitees to enjoy your wedding day and for us to shoot the atmosphere the way it happens.
We would like to have a little photo shooting of us after the ceremony moment, but we do not want the guests to wait for us. Is it possible?
Of course it is. The wedding is your day and it is right that you live it with your friends and realtives and not by yourself with a photographer. In most of the cases 20/30 minutes are enaugh for this part of the wedding photography service.
Photos are our primary choice but we would like also to have a video of our wedding day. Do you offer this type of service?
Our Studio offer exclusively wedding photography service. In order to offer complete service where requested, the studio collaborates with professional videographer in Rome and all around Italy.
These professionals share our style, way of working and work ethic. Some video trailers are available on our website video page.
What happens if it rains on the wedding day?
It doesn’t exists good or bad weather, but good or bad equipment. ( Roben Baden Pawell)
We get organized and the photographs come out even better than on a sunny day. The important thing is to know how to control the situation (the photographer) and never lose a smile (newlywed). Interesting photographs will come out, it is guaranteed.

Would you recommend to print the photos and/or to create an album?

It is one of the reasons (probably the main reason) why we love this work and what gives us enthusiasm to create a testimony, through photographs, of the beauty of the emotions.
The highest desire of the photo is to end up in a family album. (Ferdinando Scianna)
