WEDDING AWARDS 2020
2021! The year opens in the best possible way, with an extraordinary achievement in the WEVA Wedding Awards. Such an important award at the beginning of the year, after such a difficult period, brings a breath of positivity. 2020 has been a really tough year, on all fronts, and especially for the wedding industry. I was a bit hesitant at first to participate in the Wedding Videographer Awards, however, for the third year in a row I felt the need to do so, because this job always needs new stimuli.
Comparing yourself to national and international wedding videographers and being judged by professionals is a great way to test yourself, a way of sharing and growing over time.
“Choose a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life!”
CONFUCIO
Never find more right words! With commitment and determination in a few years I have achieved goals that I would never have believed possible in my work as a wedding videographer in Italy.

Getting to be ranked 4th Best Videographer in the World, seeing my name among the big names in world videography is something that cannot be put into words. I am honored with these awards that every wedding videographer in the world wishes to win one day.
When I started to create wedding videos I never had such high hopes, or maybe I did, but for modesty’s sake, I never exposed myself by always keeping my ambitions to myself.

AMBITION / COMPARISON / GROWTH
Constant growth in the Wedding Videographer career is important. I believe there is a need for ambition and a desire to put yourself out there. To be on the podium in Italian award and above all to be named one of the best videographers in the world is something that those who do this job should always dream and pursue. On the other hand, who wouldn’t want to reach such high levels one day.
I think back to all the way I’ve come so far, to all the moments when I doubted myself, but at the mere thought of not making it, I always looked for and found ways to pull myself up and do my best. Therefore, the determination and commitment I put into achieving my ambitions can be summed up in the fantistic results of the 2020 Wedding Awards.

An anomalous year, but, not for this reason, negative
2020 is coming, and it brings with it a global pandemic. The wedding industry, among others, suffers a lot. There is negativity but also the desire to restart. Therefore, I spend the first lockdown honing the technique, thinking more about my professional training and studying more intensely various strengths to make my wedding videos better and better.
2020 was a sabbatical year, I’ve had the time and opportunity to set new goals and prepare myself in achieving them. Even in this strange year I participate in the WEVA Wedding Videographer Awards achieving some surprising results.
In addition, I receive another important and unexpected recognition
