Jack Stocker is a documentary and editorial wedding photographer working across Italy, with a background in design and fine art book publishing.

That history shapes how he composes: he thinks about each frame as something that could hang in a couple's home, which is a higher bar than simply recording the day. His influences run from Joel Meyerowitz's street work to Juergen Teller's fashion photography and Todd Hido's suburban nightscapes, and you can see all three in the mix. On the day he lets things unfold, and couples consistently mention how relaxed he makes them feel.

We love him for couples who want photographs with a real point of view behind them, and several frames worth hanging.

Good to know: Jack shoots film alongside digital.
