Meet Andrea

Behind Opera57 is Andrea, a Lake Como based wedding photographer working almost exclusively with international couples marrying in Italy.

His photography blends calm storytelling with an editorial eye, capturing weddings in a way that feels elegant, emotional, and deeply personal.

Rather than chasing trends or overly posed moments, Andrea takes time to understand each couple, how they connect, what matters to them, and how their day naturally unfolds.

Known for his calm presence and gentle guidance, he creates images that feel true to the people in them, preserving the atmosphere, relationships, and fleeting moments that make each Italian wedding unforgettable.
