Contact Marco Colonna

Hi, my name is Marco, live and breathe photography every minute of my days. I was born in Cosenza in 1984. I define myself as a dreamer, I like to look, I'm curious and I try for simplicity. I was very young when I started to be interested in photography, but it was the experience of scouting that stimulated me and led me to cultivate this passion. Photography has always been intrigued and excited, not only because of its strong ability to transmit emotions, but above all because of its great power to tell stories.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I live in Apulia, Ostuni Italy.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I have been working for 5 years I have made more than 200

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

My style strongly echoes photojournalism: photographers will be invisible to view and will not interfere in any way in the day’s events. We wish to emphasise and guarantee the absolute spontaneity of the shots

Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?

Marco has been really exceptional! We chose him as I loved his ability to capture beautiful photos but also the emotion of the day which he achieved amazingly! He is also super easy to work with, great communication leading up to the wedding, puts you at ease on the day (all my guests said how great he was!) and the photos are just amazing! If you are thinking about booking Marco, do! You won’t be disappointed!!! Thank you

RACHEL + BEN

We truly were blessed with Marco as our photographer. Even though it was raining during our welcome party, he still captured beautiful pictures. We had our wedding in the beautiful town of Lecce. Thankfully during our wedding day it was sunny and beautiful and that reflected through our pictures Marco captured. From our first look and all the way to our party pictures. We definitely recommend Marco to capture your beautiful day as well! Thank you Marco!!!

HANNY + CURTIS

We met Marco by chance (on Instagram) and immediately fell in love with his clean, modern and natural style, especially appreciating his fantastic black-whites; in short, something different from the classic photos set of traditional weddings.
In person is a very nice guy, kind, who knew immediately to make us comfortable. Throughout our wedding day, he and his collaborator were able to capture many small moments of spontaneous love without ever being intrusive. Absolutely highly recommended.
Note: Really quick in post-production, we were surprised !

We had the pleasure of having Marco as photographer for our wedding weekend, and we couldn’t make a better choice! Every shot beautifully tells the story of those days, allowing us to relive the emotions, joy, and details of each moment. Marco’s ability to capture natural, candid moments with such professionalism left us in awe.

We feel so fortunate to have had him with us during such an important time, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional photographer. Thank you, Marco, for your incredible work! You deserve the best success!!

RACHEL + PAOLO

We’re absolutely thrilled with our decision to have Marco Colonna as our wedding photographer for our Apulian wedding. My partner and I tend to be a bit camera shy, so we were looking for someone who could beautifully capture this special day in Italy with our families. Marco and his team did an amazing job, not just with the stunning wedding photos, but also with the special eye for detail that turned the pictures into a visual story of our day.

As the bride, the whole day felt like a blur, but when I look back at the photos Marco delivered, I can feel the vibe and relive each moment as if Read More it were yesterday. It takes a true professional, like Marco, to not only take beautiful shots but to also observe and capture those small, significant moments that make the story of a wedding so special.

Thank you, Marco, for all the wonderful photos. Now, I just need to find a way to showcase them all! If you’re looking for the best wedding photographer in Puglia, Marco is the Italian wedding photographer you need.

CHANTAL + BRANDON

A true professional from day one! Marco is a very ambitious person and photographer making sure he understands the assignment in advance. During the wedding weekend we felt relaxed with his presence and he surely worked more than hard to make sure our wedding pictures became a memory for our lifetime. We are so happy with him as a photographer and are now happy to call him our friend.

JESPER + JOHANNA

We’re very pleased with the beautiful photos that Marco produced from our wedding day - they capture lots of special moments and were edited and delivered on time. Thank you.

JULIA + MICHAEL

Marco was an absolute pleasure to have as our wedding photographer. He is so professional and immediately made us feel comfortable on our special day. He captured amazing shots of us and all the guests. We highly recommend him! He will make sure your day is captured beautifully.

REBECCA + HARRY

Marco was simply fantastic. He was able to capture the atmosphere of celebration and joy, the emotions linked to each moment of our wedding in a magic way. We wanted it to be as discreet as possible, without too many set photos. Marco and his team were able to work as best as possible without being too intrusive. He was very good at recognising even those moments of stress and acting in a professional and friendly way. Few months after the wedding we received the photos, leaving us speechless. Definitely satisfied.

MAURANE + LEONARDO

Choosing Marco as photographer for our wedding is undoubtedly the best choice we have ever made. We found firstly a good friend, polite and kind, and of course an amazing photographer. As everyone can see on his portfolio, his photos are wonderful, but the most exciting part is that they are completely spontaneous and no annoying photo shooting were set; he simply and naturally caught the beauty and emotions of those moments in a breathtaking way.

FRANCESCO + ROSSELLA

Spesso capita che nella selezione di un fornitore si vadano ad analizzare diversi profili, specialmente se si tratta del proprio matrimonio e si vuol essere certi di fare la scelta giusta.
Con Marco questo non è successo. Lui è stato il primo fotografo che abbiamo esaminato, e la nostra ricerca è finita con lui.
Nelle sue foto abbiamo trovato tutto quel che volevamo. Bellissimi contrasti, i momenti più giusti, le emozioni più forti.
Ed è stato meraviglioso rincontrare ogni singola ragione per cui lo abbiamo scelto nelle foto dai lui scattate al nostro matrimonio.
Belle. Bellissime.
Read More Abbiamo sfogliato grandi sorrisi, balli scatenati, anime felici. Dettagli di cortili, fiori, risate, di bimbi in corsa e di occhi commossi.
Abbiamo rivisto tutto. Abbiamo trovato tutto. E abbiamo scovato Marco. Con la sua discrezione, gentilezza, professionalità, ha raccolto momenti plateali ma anche quelli che temevamo potessero passare inosservati. Ma no, lui ha colto anche quelli, rendendo eterni i bellissimi attimi della nostra festa d'amore.

MONICA + ANTONÌ

We are infinitely happy that Marco agreed to tell the story of our wedding, and for doing so with enchanting discretion and courtesy. From our very first meeting, we had the distinct feeling that Marco had the ability to tiptoe into the lives of his bride and groom, without disturbing them, to tell a story and not impose one.

The day we spent together confirmed this. He was a reassuring and gentle presence, never intrusive but always attentive to our needs. We received our photos already after a few days, and they are simply stunning. We recommend him without any doubt!
