Interview

IF I HAVE A FREE SUNDAY I WOULD SPEND IT… I would spend it with my family especially my little niece (2 years old). I would do some sport (cycling, workout) or I'd sit back and relax at the lake watching the beautiful scenery and reading

MY MOST MEMORABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WAS… Africa, for sure! Exploring an unfamiliar destination (I encountered a significant cultural gap), venturing beyond my comfort zone, encountering diverse wildlife (my first safaris) and human lifestyles.

THE COUNTRY I MOST WANT TO VISIT IS… Kazakhstan.

WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MY JOB IS… getting to see my couples elevate themselves through my photography work.

IF I DIDN’T DO THIS FOR A JOB I WOULD BE… Unhappy, unfulfilled.

IF I COULD GIVE NEWLY ENGAGED COUPLES ONE PIECE OF ADVICE IT WOULD BE…to delegate to a trustworthy team of vendors and relax.

I LOVE WHERE I LIVE BECAUSE… I am lucky enough to live in a safe country with beautiful scenery, mountains, lakes, and on the top of that I’m in the middle of Europe, so close from everything.

IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD IT WOULD BE… Northern hemisphere like Ireland or Scotland.

MY FAVOURITE MOVIE IS? The salt of the earth. It portrays the works of the Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado. His images are so powerfull that they brought tears to my eyes.

MOST MEMORABLE MEAL I’VE EVER EATEN WAS… 5-star hotel menu at Lausanne Palace.
