Digital technology has transformed our world, opening up and bringing the everyday to culture and heritage. We’ve formed new habits of mind and new ways of sharing our memories and identities (Forbes).
But a collection of images floating on a computer screen can’t replace the feel and beauty of an album: the smell of the leather, the touch of the silk paper, the magic of sharing and passing one of the first family heirloom to the next generation…
I always get a stomachache when I’m asked to simply handle a disk with all the files: as a true professional photographer I want to help you saving your best memories on a coffee-table book, custom designed with a contemporary and the storytelling feel.
Open the wooden box, lift the book and open the first page (double spread). Emotions, joyful tears, happiness, smiles – it’s your wedding!
A special thank you to Valerie and Chris for allowing me to share their album pages.

My husband proposed and we were married in Turks and Caicos just over a month later! Our photographer (Ileana, Attimi Photography) came at the recommendation of our amazing wedding planner (Diane at Island Harmony). We didn’t really know what to expect, so we met up with Ileana before the wedding to view some of her work and get to know her a bit. Her portfolio was gorgeous (check out her website, she updates her blog regularly), and she put us immediately at ease, she clearly loves what she does and was excited to be a part of journey. The day of our wedding was flawless. Sometimes we didn’t even notice that Ileana was there, she blended into the background and was able to capture all of our wonderful candid moments. On the more staged shots she made us all feel like super models! Her enthusiasm was absolutely contagious, and for a special day like your wedding (or family portrait, etc), you really do want someone to be able to match your excitement, while still knowing when to step back and let the magic happen for itself. I can’t say enough nice things about Ileana, I highly recommend her for photography on Turks and Caicos (or anywhere!). Her photographs turned out even more amazing than I could have imagined, she captured every precious moment beautifully! The album she put together for us was magical as well, her photos tell the story of our wedding perfectly (as you can see from the lovely post above!)!
