Get to know
Francesco
Francesco Bognin is an Italian luxury wedding photographer but it’s more helpful to think of him as an artist. Born to a family of educators in Northern Italy’s Verona region, Francesco chose to follow his passion in the spirit of the only other creative in his family, his grandfather, an internationally acclaimed painter.
Today, Francesco’s passion and commitment to excellence are only amplified by his role as a husband and his daily celebration of the love in his own marriage and that of his clients.
Francesco’s reportage style is cinematic and plays with natural light, geometry, and a celebration of the hidden beauty in moments big and small.
His work earned publication in prestigious magazines such as Vogue and has lead him to be listed as a top wedding photographer both in Italy and California.

Philosophy
I aspire to create elegant, clean, and modern photos that can be enjoyed in new ways, year after year. Hallmarks of my work include a love for black & white, symmetry and geometry, natural lighting and a verified romance with backlighting.
My fine art reportage style focuses on the expressions and interactions of my subjects and achieves glamour and elegance in an honest way, celebrating the love that fills the day. My services and work are exclusive and refined, but my personal approach is focused on making sure that you feel at ease, ensuring that your photos are just as beautiful as your big day.

Personal notes
The tags luxury and fine art may give you the right idea about my work, but the wrong idea about my personality. I’m an easy-going and fun-loving guy who smiles easily and makes friends everywhere I go. I enjoy getting to know my clients and sharing stories and interests. Here are a few things to know about me, and I look forward to getting to know more about you!
01
Travel
I love to travel…experiencing new people, places, traditions and cuisines. I live to shoot destination weddings around the world and next on my list of dream locations are Bali, Paris, Macau and Dubai. No destination is too far or too exotic.
02
Skateboarding
Maybe you wouldn’t expect a luxury wedding photographer to be a skateboarder, but here I am! I love to longboard around the world with my wife, especially in California. Since I got my first skateboard at 12, I’ve been practicing new tricks and skills and I can’t wait to share this love with my future children.
03
Past life
My original career was an Osteopath but the day came that I had to choose between Osteopathy and photography. I followed my passion and I never looked back!
05
Vegetarian
In 2017 I decided to try vegetarianism and it was life changing. I used to eat as much meat as the next guy and never saw myself as vegetarian but having a partner who plays chef every day makes for an effortless choice that’s a perfect fit for my health and my values.
06
Animal lover
Especially dogs.
07
Husband
I’ve married my wife both in California and in Italy but the truth is I married her the moment I laid eyes on her. My role as husband is my greatest joy and my wife seems to think I’m really good at it.
