DUCCIO ARGENTINI WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
about me
Duccio Argentini, born on 1967, first approached photography at 11.
He self-trained through experimenting with the darkroom and the various photo techniques,
never neglecting his school carrier that earned him a university degree in architecture. Nevertheless, his deep love for the art of photographing urged him to turn his life-long hobby into a profession. For more than eight years he has been collaborating with the leading sport magazines, as sport is his other main passion.
He has released publications in Italy, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Australia. He often travels in Italy and abroad to produce reportages on surf, windsurf, and kitesurf. The training that this kind of photography taught him allows him to give his wedding photo services a very personal touch, comparable more to fashion photography than to classical posing wedding services.

the way I work
To accomplish a good service, the first thing I seek is to set up a reliable relationship with the couple, so as to create confidence with them. Their wedding day must be a pleasant one, and a photo service sometimes risks to add a burden to it. This is why I intervene the least possible with the couple during the service; I may lead them towards a better light, I may have them play, laugh, joke. I try to enhance their spontaneity, catching it as soon as I see it.
I see my photo service for them as a reportage, I am the one that moves, seeking the right angle.
Who gets to decide what to do? We do it together, I simply give suggestions, leading the couple towards the style I see and interpret for their wedding.
I mostly use highly professional digital equipment, allowing me a large number of shots that ensure catching unique moments, without having to stop and change film.
Of course, if you wish I will use both films and medium format.
I love photography, especially being able to catch and fix the unique moments of such a special event as is your wedding day.
