I will never forget this one year anniversary in Santorini. Their fire is still with me in the memories I hold of my time spent with their love ✨

My heart thrives for adventure. Any kind. To capture raw, intimacy and connection is what lit my soul on fire. To be let into the intimacy. That private and personal space. Vulnerability. Rawness.... Passion. Authenticity. ✨ In intimacy, you see people with your heart. That’s the beauty of beauties. That’s what you capture with your camera. To be part of that, it’s a blessing I will never take for granted. Capturing moments takes the moment into every other moment. And with it the joy, the emotion. The hold. The hands on skin. The sound of breath. The embrace. The closeness. The distance. The wanting. You hear it, feel it, touch it with all of your senses. And you go back to it every time you see an image of ‘it’. Which is not what the image looks like but what the image FEELS like. This is why is art. Because like they say art isn’t supposed to look nice. Art is supposed to make you feel. And so, feel. . . .

Let’s enter 2019 like this: Playfully Free In joy In faith... With the brightest light in your heart And most of all, of course, barefoot 💕 . . It is so common to think along the lines of “when I get that _______ I will be happy” Be that a new job, a house, a car, a new body, a new love...etc... We have all be there at some point right? I certainly have myself! • The thing is when thinking this way we get ‘stuck’ in the waiting period hanging on to the delusional fantasy waiting for some monumental moment to magically catapult us into eternal happiness. Am I right? • What about the in between moments? Because, and I know you heard this before,LIFE is what happens right there. The journey IS the life and the monumental final moments never arrive because as we grow we will always push those end lines forward. • 2019 is going to be an incredible year ✨ Look at your life for what it is and not for what you think you will be judged on. Choose YOU. Look at your values, your dreams and don’t live trying to fulfil someone else’s expectations of you. Choose LOVE. Listen to your heart. Listen to your voice. DO. DO what YOU love because you are the feelings that come from the things you love to do and these things done consistently will bring you to your purpose. ✨ Happy New Years Eve my beautiful friends✨

It’s my birthday! I am 37 years old. Today. At 7.10am my mum will message me like every year, without fail. At 7.10am on the dot, because that is the time I was born. And so will my dad. I love that. •... Every year on my birthday I like to ask myself this question: ‘Are you happy with who you are?’ • At 37, I am experiencing a new found sense of freedom. A new found sense of love. A new found sense of self. • As I continue my journey on this beautiful life I keep reminding myself...what a gift this is! I remind myself to never be afraid of growing. Of letting go. Of revaluing my priorities and behaviours if I feel unhappy about any situations. Never be afraid to take responsibilities and keep looking up. And forward. And leave the past behind with the biggest and most beautiful smile I can possibly give it. • I remind myself that being happy with who I am sometimes means I have to make the difficult choices. Sometimes it means to say no. Most times it means to say no to things you have been yes to, when you wanted to say no. • Are you happy with who you are? Can you look in the mirror and love who you see? • I want to answer yes to that question. Every day. Every night before I go to sleep. • At 37, I learnt to welcome pain. Welcome pain and use it wisely. Learn from it. Hear the message it brings me. Allow it to help me grow. Because if I allow pain to make me angry, I wasted it. • Today I am happy. I am so happy and so free. Happy. Free. And incredibly grateful. Happy birthday to me ✨ • Photo credit to my beautiful sister that I love with all my heart Federica Petrucci

Today I have been awarded the title of ‘Best International Wedding Photographer 2018 - South East England’ ✨ I am honoured considering I was nominated to enter and not entered myself, so thank you ✨ To do what I love with passion, integrity, authenticity and every single tiny cell in my body is all I want to keep doing. ... Every day. Every couple. Every soul I connect with through this amazing industry. Every friend I make. Every shot I take. Every emotion captured. Every moment framed. The late nights. The early mornings. The sunset light. The giggles. The laughs. Creating movement. All of this. Gives me life. ✨ I met one of my September couples this morning for the first time. As I was sitting across the table and listening to them telling me their story, all the things they shared together, their future plans, their vision. There was excitement. There was connection. Intimacy between these two people who are planning a life together. And I thought. This is why I do this. For the people. Their stories. Their magic. Their love. ✨ So this award is for you and because of you. My clients. My friends. You give me life. You give me hope. You give me love. . . .

Thank you to my beautiful @photographybybea for my new profile photo ❤️

‘Innamorarsi di te e’ stato facile, e anche se ho combattuto con me stesso perché non succedesse la paura di perderti era troppo grande. Amore, ti amo.’ ✨ What a honour to witness love. I cried as they read their vows to each other. Everyone was moved.... Everyone was moved by the sincerity in their words, their voices, and every time their eyes met you could almost touch the intensity of how they felt about each other. The emotion was physical. Beautiful. Real. ✨ This love, is my favourite. A love that can’t help but be. Can’t help but feel. A love that looks for possibilities to be together in every situation, not obstacles. A love that shows up. A love that wins. ✨ In love, everything is possible. #alovelikethis ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ Thank you to the most amazing team: Planner Caterina Weddings Venue Casa Masi Dress Laura La Sposa Chic Dj Andrea Paci dj Florals @il giardino delle fate Videography Vertigo Wedding Films Stationery The Wedding Letters di Laura Mazzetti

Worked with Ilaria quite a few times now, every time I'm more impressed. Her attention to detail is amazing and her ability to capture the mood and emotion is brilliant. Id recommended her over and over again to all my clients.

Where to start? First of all, Ilaria is a joy to work with. Great communication, passionate about what she does and all in all a wonderful person! We asked Ilaria to do a commercial lookbook shot for our brand House of Elliot (we make handmade lace boots) and it was the best decision we could have made. Ilaria was absolutely fantastic on the day of the shoot, and so utterly easy to work with. Shoot days can be very stressful and Ilaria took the stress out of it with her easy going but professional nature. Well, the results? Well, let me just say that they are just breathtaking. Shot after shot after shot of pure beauty. I wanted someone to create 'emotion' within the photography and that is exactly what we got. Even the product photos seem to 'be alive'. Its such a rarity to find someone who can combine both emotion and beauty in her images and Ilaria has that gift. I know that Ilaria already has many lovely reviews from Brides and I would also highly recommend Ilaria to any brands or business looking for professional commercial photography. Grazie di cuore Ilaria, you are part of the House of Elliot family forever now! Nicole xx

What can i say?......Ilaria is a genius behind the camera! she is so passionate about her work. I love love love every single photo from our engagement/family shoot and our wedding day! Ilaria made us all feel at ease in front of the camera, our family and friends said they didn't feel that Ilaria got in the way on our wedding day and yet she captured the whole day perfectly! we've had so many positive comments on our photographs, i would not hesitate in recommending Ilaria :) can't wait to work with her again at some stage in the future! xx

Well, what can I say about the beautiful Ilaria..... she made me and my now husband feel the most important people in the world. She kept in touch with me from the minute we sent that first email, asking if she could help us in anyway possible and calming my nerves. At several points Tom even asked if I was sure I didn't want to marry Ilaria instead the amount I banged on about her � No but honestly, we haven't even received all our photographs back yet and already I know how stunning they will be. Ilaria didn't seem to miss a moment and so many of our guests commented on how friendly and kind she was. She made our special day even more perfect and I can't recommend her highly enough ���

The pics Ilaria took at my son's wedding were truly delightful, she took some beautiful shots that were a little bit different. She was a joy to have around & very unintrusive. A lovely lovely lady!

The most amazing attention to detail you will ever find! A hopeless romantic herself with such a warm, friendly and calming personality. The perfect choice of photographer for any wedding or occasion <3 <3

Such stunning, romantic photographs!! Beautiful!! X

Perfect in everyway, memories to cherish for a lifetime

I wish I'd got round to writing this review sooner, but I really can't put into words how talented Ilaria is, my words couldn't do her justice.

From the moment we met her we felt totally at ease, she so is friendly and calm, we need more Ilaria's in the world.



We've had so many guests comment on how amazing she was on the day, totally non-intrusive but somehow managed to catch all the most special moments of the day, she's magic.



She was not only a photographer but she helped put buttonholes on and had a calming influence on me throughout the morning's preparations.

We are over the moon with both our wedding and engagement photographs, all the little details are documented and she captured all the fun, happy tears, ugly crying, laughter and emotions of the day.



Thank you so much.

Have just seen some of the pictures you took at Leena and Michael's wedding....amazing and stunning. That is all!

After seeing some of ilaria's work which I loved, I asked her to take some shots of my girls who are very camera shy teenagers!! We decided on a cool urban shoot in London, which was a perfect idea. We had a very relaxed fun session and the girls felt completely at ease with Ilaria and the images speak for themselves. They are stunning and capture my girls perfectly! Would highly recommend! Thank you

Affascinante fotografa con grande attenzione alla forza che può trasmettere la luce. A differenza di tanti suoi colleghi non si limita a lavorare con le ombre e con il NERO, colore affascinante ma ormai troppo abusato in fotografia.

Un punto di vista alternativo.

Non la conoscevo prima di averci lavorato per uno shoot e dagli scatti di questo sono rimasto particolarmente impressionato. Bravissima
