For your wedding in Brescia, choose a professional photographer who covers the entire day, delivers a selected set of digital files, and puts everything in writing in a contract. That’s the starting point: before you even think about the venue or the menu. A well-structured photography service includes:
- Full-day coverage, from the getting-ready shots to the cutting of the cake
- Digital delivery of the post-produced images, with a printed album as an option
- A signed contract stating the minimum number of shots, delivery times and usage rights
- Confirmation that the photographer carries insurance in case something goes wrong during the event
One piece of advice: contact your photographer at least 8-9 months before the date. The most in-demand professionals book up fast, especially for spring and summer weekends.

How I structure the wedding day: sequence and what to check
The day begins with the preparations, usually the most intimate and emotionally charged part. Then the ceremony, the couple’s portraits at the chosen venue, the reception with the details of the table and the styling, through to the cutting of the cake. Every moment has its own light, its own rhythm.
A professional photography package is generally structured across three tiers.
Before signing, always ask to see a complete gallery from a full wedding, not just a highlights reel. Showing an entire event is a genuine sign of reliability: something long-standing professionals in the industry consistently point out. Then check that the photographer has insurance covering damage or unforeseen problems during the event.
On the legal side, rights over the raw files belong to the photographer unless otherwise agreed: if you want the digital negatives, you have to agree it explicitly in the contract. Under Italian copyright law (Law 633/1941), articles 88 and 98 establish that any transfer of rights must be made in writing. The Chamber of Commerce’s model contract lists the essential clauses: timings, minimum number of shots, delivery times, penalties and payment terms.
The photography contract also governs publication on the photographer’s own web channels: if you don’t want your photos on social media, include a specific clause. Equally, the photographer holds both moral and economic rights, and may restrict commercial uses of the images while granting the couple personal use.
For the practical numbers: a typical delivery is 400-600 photos, within 45-60 days for the images and roughly 40 days more for a printed album.
One piece of advice: on the wedding day, give your photographer a sheet with exact timings, the key photographic moments and the wedding planner’s contact details. A short briefing in the morning is worth hours of coordination.
