Meet Sayuri

Born in Switzerland and raised in Florida, I spent 20 years surrounded by sunshine and palm trees before finding my way back to Europe. Now, nearly a decade into calling Italy home, I capture love stories in Le Marche - a region of stunning landscapes, seaside villages, and timeless charm. As a destination wedding photographer, I focus on the unfiltered, candid moments that make your day uniquely yours. Whether you’re eloping or celebrating with loved ones, I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way.

Timeless Italy as the backdrop of your love story

I can't say enough good things about my experience having Sayuri photograph our wedding. From the start of our planning she was quick and communicative. I shared my vision for the day with her and she seriously overdelivered on everything. I can't imagine our wedding day without Sayuri. She was very professional and focused, but she never made us feel rushed or panicked about timing. She brought such great energy to our day. We genuinely had fun and felt comfortable with her. Multiple members of our wedding party and wedding guests commented on how wonderful she was to have around during the day. And the PHOTOS!!!!

Beauty in the Details

Details are more than just aesthetics; they are pieces of your love story. The color palette you carefully picked out, the unique textures of your flowers, the handwritten notes exchanged before the ceremony, the candlelit glow of your reception - all these elements come together to create the atmosphere and emotion of your wedding. My goal is to preserve them, so when you look back, you not only see the beauty but feel the emotions all over again.

Because years from now, it won’t just be the big moments you remember, it’ll be the little ones, too.

Sometimes the light is just too good and it’s time to sneak away from the party for 5 minutes

The most beautiful part of weddings is love.
And how lucky am I to have a job that allows me to not only witness it, but to document it.

This intimate wedding on Lake Maggiore remains amongst my favorites, a warm summer day watching A + F join their families together

After the first wedding of the season my body has kindly reminded me that I am no longer 20 years old and cannot, in fact, pretend otherwise.

I feel like I ran a marathon.
I have never run a marathon, but that’s besides the point.

Here is a detail shot for you

Le Marche.
This region of Italy has everything you’ve ever wanted for a destination wedding: rolling hills, the sea, excellent wine, delicious food.. the list goes on and on

Yet it’s also one of the lesser known areas, I know that because I had never heard of it until I fell in love with a Marchigiano (who I also said was marchese because.. well if you’re from Milan you’re Milanese so I assumed if you’re from the Marche you’re marchese… you’re not. It’s like a nobleman. Anyway)

What I’m trying to say is, come visit and see all that this beautiful region has to offer. It’s just a 2.5 hour drive from Rome 🤗

Throw back to a beatiful wedding with @duepunti_wedding

Squad goals …. And the last one perfectly describes how good a fan feels in Florida heat

Had to do it, made me laugh, cause it’s so me, will get deleted

A moody winter wedding that embraced elegance with a touch of baroque. Rich textures, dramatic florals and candlelight … perfect for those looking for something bold, unconventional, and yet still romantic

Why do an engagement session?
The most common thing I hear when chatting with couples is “we are so awkward in front of the camera.”

Trust me, I totally understand, because I AM TOO. The second I see a lens pointed at me I immediately want to either laugh or hide.

So, to make it so that on your big day, you already feel relaxed and comfortable from the start, I recommend (if possible) to do a pre wedding shoot.

It can be months before, it can be a few days before, but it gives us a chance to get comfortable around each other and for you to get used to the camera and see how I work without and stress or timelines to follow.

And they usually end with a cheeky aperitivo so that’s always a bonus 🤗

A bit of a different vibe but I just had this vision the second I saw this pearl necklace hanging up in a vintage store in Amsterdam…

I think going out of our comfort zone as photographers is crucial and also so gratifying, maybe it comes out terrible, or maybe it doesn’t, who’s to say?

Thank you to @fedeuxy who gifted me these five minutes in the midst of a hectic day to let me make my vision become a reality 🙏🏼

@abbiamaswi for the amazing hair and makeup

@k.oza_oza for setting it up and the emotional support

This beautiful agriturismo Di Colle in Colle, a restored 18th-century farmhouse near Lago di Trasimeno, offers panoramic views of the lake and surrounding hills. The warm hospitality and beautiful setting make it perfect for intimate celebrations, from small weddings to special gatherings.
Swipe to see my excitement on the drive up to this amazing location 🤗

What a day and what a party! So excited for all the celebrations to come this summer 🥳🥳🥳

Not every love story is written in soft pastels—some are woven with deep purples, dramatic textures, and rich, moody tones.

I immediately fell in love with this bouquet by @re_poesiefloreali, with it’s mix of orchids, proteas, and delicate greenery and unexpected elements like peacock feathers. It makes a statement, a reflection of a love that’s passionate, fearless, and beautifully unique.

I’m obsessed with this table from @mir.for.love! Incorporating seasonal greenery like artichokes and olive branches adds such a unique touch.. it’s a beautiful way to bring in both the season and the essence of the location.

Obsessed with this look from @raraavis_group

second looks for brides are such a fun way to switch up the vibes and showcase even more personality…

A beautiful and intimate wedding in the rolling hills of Marche, Italy. The way these two looked at each other 🥹🥹 also loved the colors of all the guests and how effortlessly chic everyone looked

Always a blast working with @andrearotili

Some blur and details for you today.
Such a lovely celebration of Ashley and Florian on the Isole di Brissago, tiny islands located on the coast of Lago Maggiore in Switzerland.
Longing for summer and more of these moments while sitting in front of my fireplace

A very special project created by a woman I immediately felt seen by, who gave so much of herself, who kicked my ass (just a little) … thank you @martinaskrobotphotography for gifting me the opportunity to participate in this.

Of course a huge thanks to these amazing models
@karo.moczulska and @virna_gambini for opening up in a heartbreakingly deep way. Lots of emotions, can’t really put them into words, hopefully you feel them in the images.

And shoutout to @katarinaradonic, who brought the pants and taught me to stop saying I’m sorry every five seconds

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 to @iamjuancastaneda who found us at his front door at 7:30 am and styled/did makeup without blinking an eye. You’re a real one 🫶🏼

Hi! I’m Sayuri, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Le Marche, Italy, born in Switzerland and raised in Florida

Figured it’d be nice to show you who exactly is behind the camera!

The first photo is who I want to be, the second is who I was, the third is your view, the fourth is my heart, the fifth is my second job, the sixth is my support system and the seventh is me

Welcome! Stay a while, it’s fun here 🙃🙃🙃

Shoutout to @virna_gambini for the first photo 🤍

Not a bad way to arrive to your reception, don’t you think?

Shot for @duepunti_wedding this past summer 🫶🏼
