We had the most wonderful experience with Claudia for our wedding photoshoot in the Amalfi Coast! She was so lovely, easy to communicate with, and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the day. Working with her was truly enjoyable, and the photos and videos turned out beautiful. Totally recommend working with her ❤️

Claudia was absolutely amazing to work with! Every detail was perfectly planned, and everything turned out exactly as we had hoped. From the moment she arrived, the entire day was filled with energy, joy, and love—beautifully captured from start to finish. If I could give her 100 stars, I would! Thank you, Claudia, for being the best photographer ever.

Where do I even begin? Claudia is not only the best photographer and planner I could have ever hoped for, but also one of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever met. From our very first email exchange, she made me feel at ease about planning a proposal from thousands of miles away. I was nervous about pulling off something this important in Italy without ever having been there before, but Claudia walked me through every step with patience, care, and excitement that matched my own.

She went above and beyond in every way. She helped me choose the perfect location in Ravello, coordinated with Palazzo Avino and the florist, arranged flowers, candles, décor, and made sure every little detail was flawless. Even when I had what felt like a million questions about logistics, timing, and payments, she was always quick to respond — not just professionally, but with warmth, encouragement, and even humor. Every message I received from her made me more confident that everything was going to be perfect. And she was right.

On the day of the proposal, Claudia’s heart and talent shined brighter than ever. The setup she created was breathtaking — like something out of a movie. When Courtney walked onto that terrace, it was as if the whole world paused. It was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, and Claudia captured it all. The photos and video she delivered are beyond words — timeless, emotional, and something we will cherish forever. They don’t just show the proposal, they tell the story, and every time we look at them we get to relive the most special moment of our lives.

But what sets Claudia apart isn’t just her incredible talent — it’s her heart. She treated us with so much love and kindness throughout the process. She celebrated with us, she reassured me when I was stressed, and she truly cared about making this moment unforgettable. By the end, she didn’t feel like just our photographer, she felt like family.

Claudia, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. You didn’t just capture our proposal — you helped create it. You gave us memories we’ll carry for the rest of our lives and stories we’ll one day share with our children and grandchildren. I could never thank you enough for the effort, passion, and love you put into this for us.

To anyone considering Claudia: stop searching, because you won’t find anyone better. If you are lucky enough to have her as your planner and photographer, trust her completely — she will give you more than you ever dreamed of. She certainly did for us.

Grazie mille, Claudia. You truly made our dream come true. ❤️

Claudia and her assistant Rosa were AMAZING. I got married at La Tagliata and the restaurant recommended Claudia as a photographer. She was extremely easy to work and communicate with, showed up early for the photos, was extremely accommodating, very professional, and very sweet. She even stayed late to take photos of us in front of the sunset. Her and Rosa are the best and I highly recommend using their services for your photography needs!

Claudia and her team are incredible. Truly amazing. She and Rosa went above and beyond for our dream wedding in Positano, and the photos are absolutely stunning. Our friends and family are in awe of how perfectly she captured every gorgeous moment. We are often told by our guests how beautiful our wedding was, and how unbelievable the photos are. Claudia’s work encapsulates the magic of her subjects and the iconic Amalfi Coast. She grew up there, and knows precisely when and where to shoot the best shots. Everyone we worked with in Positano is a pro at when it comes to weddings, and they set the bar so high. And, Claudia is the best of the best. Nearly a year after our wedding now, we still keep in touch-she is that wonderful. I can’t wait to hire her again. Five stars isn’t enough for Claudia.

The photographer was amazing! My bride to be was surprised by my proposal and wedding that immediately followed! The photographer was able to capture her surprise in those moments that happened so quickly! She had us posing in a way that the Minori Castle and the Amalfi Coast were pictured as our backdrop. She took us over by the pool and we had a private photo shoot with the sea as the beautiful backdrop. The sky darkened and rained just long enough to create a spectacular rainbow! The pictures are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen! I might be a little biased! We loved that she was there prior to our arrival and took pictures of all of our guests and individual couple photos as well. The digital copy of the pictures arrived quickly and we are enjoying looking at them over and over and sharing them with our friends and family! When you use this photographer you can be certain that she will cover all aspects of your event! We couldn’t be happier with our amazing photos!

Very professional and so very pleasant to work with. Claudia was so helpful, even with little things that did not have to do with her own job, such as showing me directions and recommendations for my group to do while the groom and I did our photos. Her hospitality was so much appreciated. And then the photos and video…we LOVE them. We have so many amazing ones to choose from, which for some reason I did not expect to have such an amazing library of photos! Thank you so much to this team for making our international surprise wedding a wonderful experience for us and our family, with some fantastic work of photos and video we get to keep forever :) Ciao!

Our experience with Francese Photography as our wedding photographer in Ravello was simply exceptional. From the moment they arrived, they effortlessly blended into the background, making us feel completely at ease. They had a great ability to be present without being noticed, allowing us to enjoy every moment naturally.

Claudia and Antonella have an incredible talent for capturing candid action shots. The photographs are not only visually stunning but also authentically reflect the joy and spontaneity of our special day. Their ability to catch those fleeting moments has given us a collection of memories that we'll cherish forever.

Claudia and Antonella were a delight to work with and we are so grateful for their talent, professionalism, and the beautiful memories they have given us. If you're seeking a photographer who effortlessly captures the essence of your day while making you feel completely at ease, Francese Photography is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

I highly highly recommend Francese Photography!!!! I am from Northern Ireland so I had to try and find a photographer and videographer online and thankfully I came across Claudia and her sister! Their photos are absolutely stunning!!! A lot of the photographers charge a fortune in Italy, especially when they have been featured in magazines but Francese Photography are not one of those companies! They have also worked for high profile clients but they have kept their prices affordable which just reflects their down to earth nature :) when I said this to Claudia she said she likes to attract kind clients 😊

Claudia is one of the nicest, kindest people I've ever spoken to!! She had a baby around the time of our wedding so I haven't had the pleasure of meeting her (yet!) but we are planning to meet when I go back to Sorrento sometime as I feel like we are friends now!! Her team are amazing! They arrived earlier than they were supposed to and left later than they were supposed to and our package included 2000 photos but we have over 5500!! We received our long video last night and it's just absolutely perfect!! I couldn't have asked for more! All our guests absolutely love the photos as they have truly captured EVERYTHING!! All the natural moments too and the pictures are like a flip book of the day 🥰

Thank you so much for everything!! 🩵🩵🩵🩵

Jeff and I had our wedding at Le Nereidi in Amalfi August 2022. Claudia was our photographer and I knew from our first video call that we made the right choice. Claudia was an absolute joy to work with- every step of the way she was beaming with positivity and helpful suggestions. On your wedding day- you spend a decent amount of time with the photographer. It is important to select someone who makes you feel comfortable and makes the day fun!
Our photos turned out AMAZING. So much better than I thought possible. She captured so many authentic moments and really listened to what we wanted. We put less emphasis on posed photos, and focused on capturing the beautiful location and genuine moments with our friends and family. Do not hesitate to book with Francese Photography.

Amazing!! Claudia and Rosa were our photographers. They knew all the local spots in Sorrento, and negotiated with locals to get us into some hidden secret locations!! They were so much fun as well, we spent the hours of the shoot laughing away together. Gorgeous photos and unforgettable experience :)

Claudia and her team are absolutely the best photographers in all of Amalfi coast, if not all of Italy. Having an international destination wedding can be scary, but Claudia was there every step of the way to make me and my husband feel at ease.

Not only is Claudia one of the most talented individuals I have ever met, but she is also one of the kindest souls I have had the pleasure of meeting.

Her team is extremely professional and makes you feel comfortable on your big day in order to capture moments of a lifetime. I have the pleasure of saying that Claudia is not only our go to photographer and wedding planner, but a dear friend if ours.

If you are debating on who to book for your wedding, I HIGHLY recommend working with Claudia and her team. We will 100% be coming back to Amalfi and using her for anniversary pictures. Thank you to Claudia and her amazing team for making our wedding a true dream and fairytale.

Claudia and her team were beyond any expectations we could possibly have. She was an excellent communicator regarding every detail of our ceremony. Her team assisted with flowers, hair, makeup, celebrant, working with our location and of course photography and video. They all were excellent. She took amazing care of us. Listened to our ideas and the ceremony was exactly as we discussed. The final photos captured our day as magical as it was. Claudia has such a beautiful soul and it related through her photos. She had her hand in every detail and it was absolutely perfect! We emphatically recommend her and know she would take care of your needs as she did ours. She was fantastic! I would give her more than 5 stars if we could. TOP NOTCH person and business! We love you Claudia!!!!!! ❤️

We were extremely lucky to have been reccomend Francese Photography by our wedding planner Daniela (Italy2Wed). From the moment Claudia arrived she made us feel extremely comfortable. She gave us the most memorable day. She was so professional and relaxed at the same time. We could not reccomend Francese photography enough. Claudia took us to the most beautiful parts of Positano, and her attention to detail was excellent. 10/10 from us.

Thank you Claudia x

I had the most amazing experience with Francese Photography and I highly recommend them for all of your photography needs. I planned my wedding in Ravello from NYC and I was nervous about how to put together a shot list from so far away as I had never visited my wedding venue (until my wedding day!). Claudia with Francese Photography was familiar with the venue and the surrounding area and was extremely helpful in helping me figure out the best locations for our photos as well as suggesting the best timing for certain shots to make best use of the light. I can't explain how helpful this was in the planning stage as it was impossible for me to fly out to Italy for a scout.

On my wedding day, Claudia was a complete angel!!! She made me feel so beautiful and confident which is exactly how a bride should feel. She made me feel so calm and relaxed and ensured we got all of the shots I wanted. She also made sure I looked and felt my best. I was a bit sweaty towards the end of our portraits shoot and she literally brushed my hair and gently patted down my sweaty face (without smudging my make up!) so everything looked perfect. This is the type of service a bride needs on her wedding day.

After the wedding she was extremely generous with her time in sharing the images with me. I kept missing the expiration date for the transfer link and every time I reached out to her to resend the link, she patiently and kindly recent the link without any issue. When I reviewed the photos, I felt like I was flipping through a bridal magazine. The images are pure perfection. She captured every moment perfectly. Every image is frame worthy. In fact, the most difficult part of the process was figuring out which photos I wanted to frame because I love all of them.

It has been a year since my wedding and Claudia still keep in touch and and have become good friends :) Claudia will be on the Christmas card list for years to come! My husband and I look forward to visiting Ravello again and we will be taking Claudia out for dinner to catch up. That is how close we have become. :)

For anyone looking for the perfect wedding photographer, look no further than Francese Photography! They are the absolute best.

Claudia was an amazing photographer. She captured our vision perfectly. It was obvious after spending a few short minutes with her that she was going to make the day "fun" for both of us...and she did not disappoint! Her talent as a photographer was only rivaled by her vivacious personality which made it easy to "invite" her into our intimate moments. Claudia's eye for Positano was evident in every photograph she took. Although she still made my husband and I center stage, the backdrops and scenery she captured were almost surreal. I would recommend Claudia and Francese Photography to anyone who wants to look back on their wedding photographs and feel like you are right back there on your wedding day!
