Who we are and our philosophy
We’re Julie and Uwe, the creative duo behind The Santoros. Our journey began in high school, evolving into a refined photography profession after a transformative year spent traveling through Australia in 2017. Inspired by our travels, we approach each wedding as a unique story, blending documentary artistry with editorial elegance.
After marrying in Italy, Julie’s home country, we discovered what makes a celebration truly unforgettable: the moments shared with loved ones, the memories created and the stories told about a once-in-a-lifetime occasion. With that in mind, we craft timeless images that reflect the elegance, warmth and authenticity of your celebration.
Our approach is simple yet intentional: we move through your day like welcomed guests, present but never intrusive. Some couples have even called us “floating clouds” and we take that as the highest compliment. When you feel safe and at ease, true moments of beauty unfold.
We capture those moments. Blending documentary honesty with editorial style, we create timeless, authentic imagery that reflects the essence of your day. Your wedding isn’t just an event; it’s an experience that lives on. We focus on the warmth, trust and emotion that make your story unforgettable and we can’t wait to capture yours.
The EXPERIENCE with us
Nothing speaks louder than the voices of the couples we’ve had the privilege of working with.
“Their photographs, both digital and film, truly feel alive: full of heart, light, and those fleeting, in-between moments and details that make a memory feel real. Every time we look through them, we’re transported right back—to our first look, to the golden sunset at dinner, to the dance floor. And the wedding video was nothing short of stunning: every shot was somehow both gorgeous and authentically captured. It was this honesty, intentionality, and timelessness that drew us to Julie and Uwe’s work, and they absolutely delivered.
Beyond their phenomenal talent, Julie and Uwe simply are wonderful humans. They cared deeply about understanding who we are, our story, and what matters to us, and that genuine connection shines through in every image. They didn’t just capture what it looked like, but what it felt like. Thank you so, so much, Julie and Uwe, from the bottom of our hearts!” – Tian & Elliott
“Choosing The Santoros to photograph & video our 3 day wedding in Lake Como was without a doubt the BEST decision we made throughout our ENTIRE wedding planning process. From the very first conversation with Julie & Uwe – they completely blew us away with their genuine kindness, excitement & professionalism.
They managed to capture everything PERFECTLY – and all of our guests (over 200!) were raving about how naturally they fit into the entire weekend. They took the time to understand what was important for us as a couple, and they exceeded even our wildest expectations. We genuinely felt like they were part of our family by the end of the weekend. Cannot recommend The Santoros more – you will not be disappointed!!!!” – Tessa & Callum
“We truly cannot say enough AMAZING things about Julie and Uwe🤍! From the very first call, we knew they were something special. The initial meeting felt so natural like chatting with old friends. Nothing felt forced, and they genuinely took their time getting to know us.
The Santoros joined us for three different wedding events, and their presence was so seamless that it was like they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, in the BEST way! They captured the most meaningful moments without ever pulling us out of them. We got to be fully present with our family and friends, and still ended up with the most beautiful documentation of the entire weekend! If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a SINGLE thing. BOOK THEM. TRUST THEM. LOVE THEM. We sure do!!!” – Alex and Bardo
