Diego Giusti has run his own studio in the centre of Livorno for more than ten years. He photographs weddings along the Tuscan coast and inland, in villas in Chianti and the Val d'Orcia, on yachts anchored off the shore, and for some couples much further away, with honeymoon trips as far as Africa among his commissions.
His working method is called AMORE and rests on one idea: he is there in person for the entire wedding, from the first coffee to the final song, rather than for the ceremony and a few set pieces. For larger weddings he brings in a trusted second photographer so that nothing is missed.
“I don't believe much in rigid labels. My work is a spontaneous story, with a discreet guiding hand when it's needed.”
Diego Giusti, Photographer
Many of his couples are not used to being photographed, and he says that is the norm rather than the exception. In his view, looking natural comes from feeling at ease, so he keeps portraits to around thirty minutes, split into three stretches of about ten minutes in different light, which leaves couples with their own guests.
He describes the result as a spontaneous story with a discreet guiding hand where a couple needs one, rather than strictly posed or strictly reportage. Where couples want it, he also helps early on with budgeting, venue ideas and recommendations for planners, florists and DJs.
Outside weddings he works in travel and reportage photography, mostly in Africa, takes part in the Atlas of Humanity documentary project, teaches Nikon technique, leads photographic tours and is a testimonial photographer for the tripod brand Gitzo. He is a member of ANFM, the Italian national association of wedding photographers, and a Siena Award finalist in 2022 and 2023, with personal exhibitions in Milan and Paris.
