THE PARTY
YOU'VE ALWAYS
WAITED FOR
18th birthday party photographer
Avellino · Grottaminarda · Ariano Irpino · Irpinia
You only turn 18 once: the grand entrance, the outfit chosen months ahead, lifelong friends, the toast with family. I photograph the party the way I do weddings: in reportage style, right inside the evening, catching laughter, hugs and moments that last a second. No stiff poses: the young people have fun and I tell what really happens.
The evening, up to the cake cutting
I capture the moments that count: the birthday girl or boy's entrance, friends' hugs, the toast with family. The cake is usually cut right away, as soon as everyone arrives at the restaurant: that way guests are free to enjoy the party carefree, with no risk of stains on their clothes in the photos. The candles, the cake, the details of the decor and the venue: everything finds its place in the story.
If you'd also like the rest of the evening, with the first dance and the dance floor, the service can be extended until late.
With a little planning I can also start before the party, with the preparations at home or a few portraits outdoors. We decide the timing together.
The photo booth for friends
At an 18th birthday party the photo booth is the heart of the evening: friends strike a pose, tap the screen and in a few seconds have a printed photo to take home. You'll find it on the page for the photo booth in Grottaminarda, Ariano Irpino and Avellino.
The 18th birthday album
Every service ends with a handcrafted album, hand-bound and printed in fine art. I choose and edit the photos myself; before printing I show you a preview of the album, and it goes to print only once you've approved it. A keepsake to leaf through at 30 or 50, with the same friends.

18th birthday party: frequently asked questions
Do you only photograph 18th birthdays, or other birthdays too?
Other birthdays and anniversaries too: 30th, 40th, 50th, silver and golden wedding anniversaries. The way I work is the same.
Until when do you photograph the party?
Up to the cake cutting, which usually happens as soon as you arrive at the restaurant. If you'd like the rest of the party too, with the dancing, the service can be extended.
Can we have the photo booth together with the photography service?
Yes: the photo booth with unlimited prints can be added to the service, and guests take the photos home.
How far in advance should I book?
As soon as you know the date: Saturdays fill up quickly, especially in spring and summer.
