WE ARE FRIENDS
WE ARE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHERS...
...because we are deeply aware of the importance of the role you entrust to us. It is not an easy task, we know, but we are ready to take up the challenge. To put our expertise and passion for photography at the service of your most important day.
...WITH AN EXTRA GEAR
We know how to be perfect companions on such an intense day; just like your closest friends! Posing and reportage photography are in our opinion two 'authentic lies'. We aim to create an empathetic sharing of your moments. This is the only way to transform them forever into emotional memories. We love to photograph your wedding, and by doing so, become a part of it. Whether they are small, intimate ceremonies or exclusive, grandiose receptions, we can't help but feel them intimately as ours: we will cry, laugh and have fun together with you!

WE ARE YOUR STORYTELLERS
A story that has been fully lived deserves to be told. And telling means getting close enough to you
to be able to understand your point of view; learning to see the world through your eyes, to best
interpret you, feeling, seeing and perceiving you, and then presenting it back to you in the form of
eternal moments, captured forever, as if it were your heart that had taken the photo.
Telling this event in the right way is a challenge we are happy to take on.
That is why we look forward to meeting you and listening to your story, to putting our experience
and sensitivity at your disposal to capture the beauty of every moment. Come and discover with us
the emotion that photography can give and let us be your 'Scattastorie'.
Our headquarters
Our studio
your living room
Our photographic studio is easily accessible, it’s in the heart of Catania, overlooking the evocative Archi della Marina and enjoys a view of the domes of the Duomo: we are opposite the port, 10 minutes from the airport and station, on the service road axis. And if you have any difficulties visiting us, do not worry we’ll know exactly how to pamper you and make you feel relaxed, even via a long-distance meeting.
So why not come over for a chat?
WE WORK WITH OUR HEART,
IN THE HEART OF CATANIA,
FOR THE HEART OF THOSE
YOU LOVE.
We look forward to opening the doors of our studio and our heart to you. 200 square metres are at your disposal to help you find a moment of relaxation and get away from the frenzy of your wedding preparations: all you have to do is make yourself comfortable and let us pamper you in front of a delicious cup of tea and our legendary biscuits, or an aperitif that will be prepared for you. All while we show you the stories that others before you have entrusted to us, and you tell us about yours.

To choose Elab is to place the emotions of a day dreamt of and lived long before it becomes real in the shelter of time.
Putting yourself in their hands means choosing a group that feels with the same rhythm as breathing, professionals and artists who look at things sideways and transform them, who find the meaning of the unspoken. The photos are masterpieces of wonder and beauty, they are fragments of soul collected and developed in a dark room, that of the eyes.
That afternoon they arrived despite the fact that trains and planes had decided to go on strike, they arrived with a broad smile and scattered around the house, as if they had known my family forever, as if they were old friends coming to see the bride getting ready. They lingered with my father talking about Nikon, they lingered with my mother looking at plants, we all forgot they were photographers.
When we had met I had felt so at home that I had been able to talk and tell Emanuele about my family, my grandmother, my father, and he had welcomed us not as clients-polli-in-battery to be given a service and a contract to sign, but as people to have a special relationship with.
Present and participating all day and night, invisible and yet everywhere, focusing or blurring what was happening around and inside us, sharing emotions and light, we saw them laughing heartily and wiping away a few tears. C'were, yet not for a moment did we perceive them as operators. And not for a moment did we feel embarrassed, awkward as we are in front of the lens and the camera.
Four months before the wedding, they gave us an extraordinary gift: presenting the agency at the fair with our trailer and allowing us to follow it live on Facebook because we were too far away to be there. Hearing Emanuele recount our wedding in a few precise words gave us confirmation, if we ever needed it, of an uncommon sensitivity and empathy.

From the moment we chose to get married we already had one thing clear, they were the ELab Photographers! We wanted to enjoy the day and so we did. Emanuele, Linda and all the incredible staff, with their professionalism, sensitivity and friendliness, were able to capture our most intimate emotions: they inserted themselves in our families, among our guests and without ever letting us notice their presence, they captured unique and unforgettable moments. When a photo brings a smile to your face or brings a tear to your eye, there is nothing more to add. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart!
