Photographer in Grottaminarda, reportage style
Weddings, christenings, first communions and parties on location, in Irpinia
I'm Raffaele Inglese, a photographer from Grottaminarda. With My Happy Wedding I photograph weddings and family celebrations in reportage style: few poses, close attention to what really happens.
Before weddings I worked in fashion, with Gucci and Patrizia Pepe: that's where my care for light and detail comes from, and I bring it to every shoot.
What I photograph
Weddings and civil unions
The full story of the day, from getting ready to the party. We include a pre-wedding attunement session, to get to know each other and arrive at the big day without nerves in front of the camera. Discover my wedding reportage.
Baptisms, first communions and confirmations
Photos of the ceremony and the party, with the whole family, and a printed keepsake that lasts for years.
18th birthdays, graduations and anniversaries
The celebrations that mark a milestone, photographed without making guests pose.
Portraits and family photos
On location: outdoors, in a place that means something to you, or at your home. They also make a lovely gift.
Photo booth
The photo booth that prints in 10 seconds, with unlimited prints, for weddings and parties. Discover the photo booth.

Christening photography
The rite in church, the grandparents’ hugs, portraits of the little one and family photos: I tell the story of the christening discreetly, without rushing anyone. In the end everything becomes an album, like the one you will find further down the page.
First communions in Irpinia
The ceremony in church, the moments with the family and the party: a day that children and parents will look back on for years.
Graduation parties
The graduation ceremony, the laurel wreath, the hugs with family and friends: a milestone to remember.
18th birthday parties in and around Grottaminarda
A few 18th birthday parties I have photographed in Grottaminarda, Ariano Irpino and Mirabella Eclano: friends, family, the cake and a party that never stops.

Albums: the heart of my work
Every shoot ends with a handcrafted album, bound by hand and printed fine art. I select and edit the photos myself; before printing I show you a preview of the album and it goes to print only once you have approved it.

To choose well, read the 8 mistakes to avoid when choosing your wedding album.
From the first message to the album
We talk on WhatsApp
You tell me the date, the place and the kind of photos you have in mind.
The day of the celebration
I follow you discreetly. We always decide the timing together, depending on how the day goes.
Afterwards
I select, retouch and edit the photos myself: you receive the finished work, without spending time choosing. If any photo doesn’t convince you, we replace it. The printing of the handcrafted album is taken care of entirely by me: first I show you a preview of the album and, only once you have approved it, it goes to print.
What people say about me
On the My Happy Wedding Google profile I have an average of 4.9 stars from 18 reviews.
