KIND WORDS

OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

Giselle & Paolo

We are more than blessed to be connected with Daniele. After several unforeseen, last minute circumstances, Daniele so kindly agreed to take us on as a client for both our pre-wedding engagement photoshoot and wedding day festivities. Paired accurately by our wedding planner, Anita Galafate, we loved the Pura Vida Studio style of portfolio photos - soft, light, airy, and delicate. As an international couple coming from Bermuda, Daniele’s familiarity with Florence and previous experience at Villa Corsini a Mezzomonte gave us the comfort of his cultural, artistic, and visual expertise. Understanding the beauty and energy within the environment that surrounded us, we trusted Daniele’s lead as he guided us through our romantic and magical wedding festivities. He has accurately captured our memories for endless years to come, and we hope to find another opportunity to work with Pura Vida Studio again.
Grazie mille!!
