“

From our first call, we felt their warmth and authenticity. More than photographers, they became friends who guide and support us every step of the way.

We’ve been side by side for years — long enough to know the world has a funny way of bringing people together. Before we ever truly met, we discovered we’d gone to schools just meters apart. The real meeting, though, happened on the other side of the world while we were working in the Caribbean.

Since then, our lives have been built around being with people: jobs outside the office, the freedom to move, and work that puts connection first. We tried running a little shop in Italy, but the four walls felt too small, so we closed it and went all in on photographing weddings.

What kept us was never the big party — it was the quiet moments, the honest looks, the ways a couple chooses each other. When you trust us with your day, you’re trusting us with your story, and we show up with joy, care, and a real desire to make you feel seen.

Giving yourselves permission to put your love first

The Beauty of Being Selfish

Some days are made to be shared just between two people, and some couples know that better than anyone. When you choose a day that’s truly yours and give yourselves permission to be a little selfish in the healthiest way, something changes. The nervous bits soften, the real smiles come out, and the moments that matter most get the space they deserve.

We see that choice again and again. People stepping off the traditional path because what they want is intimacy, honesty, and a day shaped around them. You might call it brave; we call it wise. You’re not being rude or reckless — you’re protecting the parts of your love that only belong to you. We know that feeling, because we’ve always chosen our own way too, and that knowing makes us listen differently. When you invite us in, we’re there to hold space, to gently guide when needed, and mostly to disappear into the background so the day stays yours.

Our job is to notice the small, electric moments. The hand-squeeze, the private laugh, the quiet breath, and turn them into images that let you step back into that feeling anytime. This isn’t about spectacle or pleasing a room full of people. It’s about honoring the choices you make for each other and treating your story with the care it deserves. If you value freedom and connection, you’ll find the kind of allies here that gets it. We will do everything to help you keep those moments exactly as they were.

We embrace inclusivity, welcoming every couple and celebrating every story, identity, and background. There’s no judgment here — just a space where you can truly be yourselves.

Through it all, we hold quality close. Every laugh and small gesture is captured with care, attention, and authenticity. Because the moments that matter most deserve nothing less. And yes, we might get a little teary-eyed when we see you steal that quiet, perfect moment together.

From the very beginning Emanuele & Federica have made us feel very comfortable throughout the entire planning process. We communicated through email & video call & went over all details with what we were both expecting for our elopement day. On the day of, it was everything and more! They really helped navigate and pose us for photos but also captured all the in between moments. We felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. We absolutely loved the way the photos came out 💛 We would choose them all over again.

We had the best experience with Emanuele and Federica! We are so glad we chose them as our photographers for our elopement day in Positano. Our main goal was for our day to be slow paced and stress free, and they gave us exactly that! They were great at communicating leading up to our elopement and they put together a wonderful timeline for our day that worked out perfectly. They were really able to help us plan and coordinate to make everything run smoothly. They had great suggestions and recommendations, especially Arianna who did my hair and makeup! I couldn’t imagine using any other photographers, I’ll forever be thankful we chose Emanuele and Federica!

We can’t say enough amazing things about Emanuele and Federica. From the very beginning, they made everything feel so easy and comfortable. It truly felt like we were just talking with friends. Our Lake Como elopement was so special, and they captured our day in a way that goes beyond words. Every moment and emotion was documented so beautifully. I have never been a fan of pictures of myself, but this is the first time I’ve ever felt this excited and happy to see photos. That alone says everything about how talented they are. Beyond their photography, they brought such warmth, care and great conversation to the day. We truly loved having them there with us. We are so grateful and would absolutely recommend them. They are incredibly talented in every aspect of what they do. 🤍

We honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience. We were so nervous about our decision since we were the first people we knew to actually elope, and we’re definitely not the type who feel comfortable getting our photos taken on a normal day. From the very beginning, the communication was so easy and helpful, which made planning our Rome elopement feel simple and stress-free, even from overseas. They were also completely on board with all of our crazy and unconventional ideas, which made the whole experience feel even more us. On the day, Emanuele & Federica were incredibly friendly, calm, and easy to be around, which instantly put us at ease and made everything flow so naturally. The whole day went by smoothly without us having to worry about a thing — we were able to just be present and enjoy every moment together. Everything felt so meaningful and truly represented us as a couple. It was everything we wanted it to be and more! The photos are absolutely beautiful and capture the day exactly as it felt — natural, emotional, and full of joy. Looking through them brings us straight back to those moments and all the feelings of the day. We’ve walked away with not just amazing photos, but memories we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. ❤️❤️

How do you describe something so appreciated that it leaves you speechless? Emanuele and Federica have achieved just that. Not only have they photographed our family twice, they have captured moments of our family in an artistic, incredibly tasteful yet playful and natural way. They are professional, warm, and welcoming Italians who are incredibly kind. They are attentive listeners, which means they take our wishes into account and combine them with their extensive experience. These qualities blend beautifully and create the perfect foundation for fantastic photos and truly satisfied clients. A huge plus is their patience with children. Their playful personalities and amazing communication skills with kids make them true acrobats – they managed to juggle a six-year-old, a four-year-old, and a one-year-old into posing naturally for the camera. The children have been over the moon about their photos, and our eyes well up knowing we now have pictures of our children that we will cherish until we are old. Speaking from a personal perspective, they even managed to make this stiff Swede relax and captured photos where I thought, “Wow, I actually look pretty good in this one!” Do not hesitate to contact Emanuele and Federica. We love these people, and they have truly captured our Scandinavian hearts. We see the opportunity to be photographed by them as an investment in memories preserved forever, and we will always return. These are photos that we, our children, and our future grandchildren will treasure for the rest of our lives ❤️

We’re not naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but Emanuele & Federica made it feel effortless. From the first message to the final gallery, everything was smooth, thoughtful, and easy. They really took the time to understand us, and it shows in every photo. They captured the real emotion of the day without anything feeling staged. Just us, as we were, in the moment. What we appreciated most was how relaxed they made us feel. That comfort brought out our personalities, and you can see it in every shot. They delivered everything on time and stuck to every promise. We couldn’t be happier with the experience or the photos. Highly recommend to any couple looking for something real and meaningful.

We absolutely loved working with Emanuele and Federica for our Dolomites elopement! From the first email, they made everything feel so easy and fun. They’re both incredibly talented, professional, and such great people to be around. We’ve only seen a sneak peek so far, but we’re already obsessed with the photos, they captured the magic perfectly. Can’t recommend them enough!

Wow, where do we even start?! Emanuele and Federica were an absolute dream to work with! From the very first message, everything felt easy, fun, and super professional. Months before the wedding, we were already chatting about ideas and even planning which spot we should run to after the ceremony to catch that magical Tuscan light — and it totally paid off! On the day itself, they made us feel so comfortable. We’re definitely not the kind of couple who naturally poses in front of a camera, but with their calm energy, warm smiles, and great little tips, it felt completely natural. We laughed so much and genuinely had fun during the session — something I never expected! And the photos… wow. We’ve only seen the sneak peek so far, and we’re already completely in love! 😍. They captured the exact atmosphere we dreamed of — that golden Tuscan glow, the joy, the emotion, the little moments in between. Even though the weather was a bit unpredictable, you’d never know it — every single picture looks like it’s from a movie. Looking through the gallery actually made us cry (happy tears!). It’s like reliving our wedding all over again — the warmth, the laughter, the love. We can’t stop showing the photos to our family and friends, and everyone keeps saying how stunning they are. Emanuele and Federica didn’t just take pictures — they captured our story, our emotions, and the spirit of the day so perfectly. We’d choose them again a thousand times over. Truly the best decision we made for our wedding. ❤️

Emanuele & Federica are truly the best! They made our Positano elopement day a dream come true. The planning process was super easy and fun! Their communication was great and getting to know them over video chat before our big day made the day feel like a fun day with friends. They helped us shape our day into a perfect one, this included their amazing suggestion of ending our day with a private boat tour, and small sweet surprises the day of (like bringing a ukulele for me to play our song). They are extremely professional, kind and beyond talented. They sent us so many sneak peak pictures less than 48hrs after our day and we were in awe when we saw them. The pictures are so beautiful and they perfectly capture the feelings of the day, the joy love and laughter radiates through their pictures. We still can’t stop looking at them! I couldn’t recommend In Bianco e Nero enough!! Or eloping!! Thank you both so much again!!

The absolute best photographers you could ever dream of for your wedding or elopement (like ours). From the very first moment, Emmanuele and Federica felt like friends—we connected instantly, and that connection carried through the entire experience. Being photographed by them felt effortless, natural, and full of joy. Their communication was outstanding. They were accommodating, attentive, and detail-oriented from the planning stage all the way to the big day. They took the time to really get to know us as a couple, and that thoughtful approach showed in every interaction. We always felt understood, reassured, and supported, which gave us the freedom to relax and simply enjoy the moment. During the session, they created an atmosphere that calmed our nerves and made us feel safe, confident, and present with each other. Thanks to them, even the small gestures—a giggle, a nervous smile, a glance into each other’s eyes—turned into pure magic. What truly amazed us was how beautifully they captured spontaneity. Every laugh, every rush of nerves, every emotion we felt on our elopement day is now immortalized in their work. Looking back at the photos, we don’t just see images; we relive feelings, thoughts, and fleeting moments that otherwise might have been lost. Because of their professionalism, we were able to fully immerse ourselves in our day without worrying about a single detail. They went above and beyond—never watching the clock, always focused on making the experience (and the final result) extraordinary. It was worth every cent, and then some. The final photos left us speechless. We felt like rockstars, yet also completely ourselves. Choosing Emmanuele and Federica for our elopement was one of the best decisions we made, and we’ll forever be grateful for how they told our love story. Thank you, Emmanuele and Federica. You made our day unforgettable. ❤️
