Simonelli Studio

As a wedding planner, I worked alongside Marco for a client in Denver and found his work to be superb - so much so that when it came to finding a photographer for my own wedding in Italy, I knew exactly who I wanted to capture our wedding. When planning a destination wedding, you want someone who not only matches your style but who is also local and knows the venue - with Marco, we found that! He captured some of our most treasured moments (even when it meant getting tangled with some cacti) and we would recommend him to any couple looking for a photographer in Tuscany!

Marco was so easy to work with and instantly made us feel comfortable (including my 10 and 8 year old). He has a unique photography style and is very talented. I didn't want typical posed family photos. What Marco delivered was different and so much better. We are more than pleased with our family portraits. We raked in the compliments on our Christmas card photo! We look forward to having more photo sessions with Photo Mementos in the future.

Che dire, Marco è semplicemente unico! E questo possiamo dirlo anche grazie al lavoro che svolgiamo in cui incontriamo tanti fotografi, ma nessuno ci ha convinti così come lo stile unico di Marco.Per il nostro matrimonio volevamo immortalare momenti unici e spontanei, foto che fanno rivivere tutta la gioia di quel momento, e in questo Marco è stato perfetto grazie alla sua grande esperienza e alla capacità di guardare oltre al semplice scatto, di avere un’occhio è una sensibilità in più rispetto agli altri fotografi.Fin dal primo incontro si è creata grande intesa, ci ha seguiti con tanta professionalità e nei momenti opportuni ci ha saputo consigliare e guidare al meglio.Ci siamo affidati completamente a lui e c’è da dire che i risultati sono davvero eccezionali!

Marco captures the photographs that you dream of. Its what you have in your head...but can't describe. He finds a way to make that happen for you. We loved using him for our wedding and our photographs even won contests! He helped us feel natural and at ease during the sessions (engagement to wedding)...since we aren't professionals. The end product of our digital gallery and our book were priced competitively and of VERY high quality. I still look at my book at least once a month. Marco is so talented. His eye for the light and uniqueness is awesome. He is a super fun guy, very professional, and when you want to capture your life's most important moments - its WORTH the investment. Trust me. WORTH EVERY PENNY. We are now personal friends with Marco and Amanda - and love seeing all their work with families and couples. We loved the entire experience.

Marco did an amazing job taking my daughters senior year photos. He was able to get her out of shyness and get incredible shots. He kept in contact with us before, during and after the photos were taken. Communication is key! I knew exactly what was going on, when and where. No sooner did he tell me that they were ready and headed my way, I got them within two days!! Super excited with the results and experience. I hope to work with Marco again!!

Words cannot begin to describe how amazing Marco (and his work) is. When choosing a photographer for our wedding, it was important to me that the day be captured like a story board. He did exactly that and so much more. Not only is he one of the funniest Italians I have ever met (which helped keep me cool and relaxed on the big day), but he sees things that many photographers may not catch. He was a true joy to be around and made everyone feel comfortable, which in turn made the photos amazing.After the wedding, when we were going through the photos, I literally cried because he took me back on a journey of our day in a way that I didn't get to see at the time. Yes, the group family photos are great, but it was the in between moments that brought tears to my eyes. The shot of my adorable 4 year old nephew as he held my hand, looking up at me while my mom zipped my dress, my husband looking over his shoulder laughing at some joke my father was telling right before the ceremony.......those are the moments a bride cherishes forever. Those are the moments Marco captures. For that, I am forever grateful. Grazie mille!

Marco ha fatto le foto prima e durante il nostro matrimonio. Con lui ci siamo sempre sentiti perfettamente in sintonia. E' stata una presenza assolutamente piacevole, simpatica, discreta e competente. Siamo felicissimi delle fotografie che ci ha fatto e lo consigliamo caldamente come fotografo! Grazie mille Marco!! Matteo e Irene

Marco è stato un fotografo eccezionale! Molto discreto e professionale! Lo abbiamo chiamato per lo shooting di un addio al nubilato e ci ha accompagnato per tutto il pomeriggio. Lo consiglio vivamente. Dopo pochi giorni ci ha inviato tutto il materiale che abbiamo potuto condividere anche sui social con il formato delle foto adatto per la pubblicazione.

Ci dovevamo sposare a Maggio 2020 ma non è stato possibile...Marco ci ha sostenuto e ci è ha aiutato durante la stressante esperienza del rimandare data del matrimonio". Quando finalmente è arrivato il nostro grande giorno ci ha fornito il servizio che desideravamo! Delle foto bellissime

Marco is the best! He has such a great eye for lovely photographs. He recently shot our engagement session and was easy to work with. His fun personality is infectious, he made us feel right at home in front of the camera. We will be using him for our Wedding in October and can't wait to see what he does!
