Lana Del Mar is a Texas-based wedding photographer who travels to Italy for destination weddings, working across the country with a nostalgic, artful style rooted in connection.

She blends easy documentary coverage with guided editorial portraits, so galleries carry both emotive candids and fashion-led frames. Lana shoots digital, 35mm, 120 film and Super 8, choosing the medium to suit the moment, and she'll take aerial shots where the wider landscape deserves them. Her tie to Italy is personal too: she married her own husband under lemon groves at a villa on the Amalfi Coast.

We love Lana for couples marrying anywhere in Italy who want a photographer who knows what a destination wedding here feels like from the inside, and several formats to tell the story in.

Good to know: Lana works across multiple film stocks as well as digital, so it's worth discussing the mix you want early on.
