Meet Susanna Antichi

Capturing moments with elegance, emotion, and a touch of Italian soul.

Susanna Antichi portrait

Hello! I’m Susanna Antichi, an internationally awarded wedding and portrait photographer based in Siena, Tuscany. Through my lens, I tell stories of love, light, and laughter — capturing real emotions with authenticity and artistic precision.

My photography blends the elegance of Italy with the warmth of human connection, crafting visual memories that transcend time.

Born and raised in Italy, I spent over a decade living and working in Mexico, photographing countless destination weddings along the Riviera Maya. This cultural fusion enriched my creative vision and deepened my love for storytelling through imagery.

In 2022, I returned home to Tuscany — the land of golden hills, art, and timeless romance — and continue to document love stories around the world, blending Italian sophistication with an international sensibility.

“Photography, to me, is more than a profession — it’s a language of emotion, beauty, and truth.”

Awards & Recognition

I am honored to be a Certified Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPIC) member and part of the National Association of Italian Professional Photographers. My work has been featured in leading publications such as Destination I Do and Destination Weddings & Honeymoons Abroad. In 2016, I was listed among the Top 20 Wedding Photographers in Riviera Maya.

Rooted in my love for travel and photography, I have always been drawn to stories waiting to be discovered and told through light, composition, and emotion.

Commercial & Editorial Photography

Beyond weddings, I collaborate with luxury villas, hotels, restaurants, and lifestyle brands across Tuscany and Italy to create visual storytelling that elevates their image. My commercial photography includes architecture, interiors, food, product, and aerial imagery captured with drones.

Whether you need timeless imagery for your boutique hotel in Siena, a restaurant in Chianti, or a wine estate in Val d’Orcia, I create elegant and authentic visual stories that reflect your brand’s soul.


I capture your wedding day in the most authentic and discreet way possible, letting moments unfold naturally. My aim is to craft a beautiful story that truly reflects the essence of your day without interfering with the celebration but create moments when necessary.

Couples often describe me as a reassuring and tranquil presence. My approach is subtle, intuitive, and observant, allowing me to capture candid moments and intricate details that create a complete portrait of your day.

Photographs are typically delivered within 10 weeks, though the contract allows up to 4 months to ensure the highest quality. All images are print-ready, edited for contrast, sharpness, and color. Album or print images receive additional retouching.

I love destination weddings — the adventure, the mystery, and the magic of celebrating in a fairy-tale location. From Mexico to Tuscany, Germany to New York, I bring passion and artistry to every wedding. Your destination wedding deserves a photographer who sees the magic and romance as you do, while capturing timeless, meaningful moments.

Love knows no boundaries. I have had the honor of photographing weddings across cultures, traditions, and orientations, including LGBTQ+ celebrations. Traditions are a tapestry — reimagined to fit your vision. Best person, bridesman, groomswoman — your day, your story. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where every couple can fully immerse themselves in the joy of their wedding day.


Love knows no boundaries. I photograph weddings of all cultures and orientations in an atmosphere of total respect and joy.

International Wedding Photographer in Tuscany

Certified by NYU and WPPIC · Canon user since 2006 · Destination wedding specialist

I’m an international wedding and editorial photographer based in Tuscany, certified by New York University and WPPIC, and a Canon user since 2006. My work blends emotion, elegance, and technical mastery — from Mexico to Italy, always through the eyes of Canon. I capture moments with authenticity, storytelling, and a touch of fine art.
My journey began in Mexico, where I spent over a decade (2010-2022) photographing destination weddings along the Riviera Maya. These years shaped my international vision, refining my approach to lighting, composition, and human connection. Couples often describe my style as natural, emotional, and elegant.
I have attended master workshops with Jerry Ghionis in Chicago, Rocco Ancora and Ryan Schembri in Los Angeles, and participated in the WPPI Convention in Las Vegas, earning awards and recognition. In Mexico, I joined a workshop with Victor Lax and was invited by Canon in Playa del Carmen to teach a professional photography technique , deepening my connection with the Canon community.
My professional path is grounded in continuous education. I’m certified by the New York Institute of Photography in Wedding & Portrait Photography and hold international WPPIC certifications. I’m also a licensed drone pilot (A1/A3 EASA, ENAC), allowing me to capture dynamic aerial perspectives for weddings, editorial, and commercial projects.

Canon is not just a tool but an extension of my artistic vision
After a decade abroad, I returned to Italy in 2022, reestablishing my studio in Tuscany. Today I photograph destination weddings, editorial projects, portraits, and commercial collaborations across Italy and the world.
