Reportage-style photo & video across Rome — weddings, proposals, baptisms, and walking tours.
We do not create moments; we capture them. Alex and Elena work alongside you across Rome — six curated walking tours, full-day weddings, surprise proposals, baptism ceremonies, and event coverage — in English, Italian, Ukrainian, and Russian.
Photographer in Rome is a photography studio led by Alex Samusenko, a Ukrainian photographer and videographer with eight years of experience based in Rome. Working alongside Elena Sotnikova, Alex specializes in walking photo tours of Rome, reportage-style wedding photography, and surprise proposal coverage.
The studio's identity rests on a reportage / candid documentary approach — as Alex puts it, "we do not create moments but we do capture all the positive emotions and mood of the person".
Our approach is warm and conversational: we work to keep things relaxed and let the day unfold naturally, and our coverage is shaped by years of practice in walking photo tours of Rome and reportage-style wedding photography. We offer accessible professional coverage, with packages ranging from short single-session coverage to full-day documentary work.
The team works fluently in English, Italian, Ukrainian, and Russian, serving clients from a range of backgrounds. Past credits include work with notable institutions and events — see the full list below.
Tell us a little about the day you have in mind — a wedding date, a proposal spot, the tour you'd like to walk. We typically reply the same day.
