ABOUT
JONATHAN
MANGANELLI
Wedding videographer in Tuscany, Italy
I was born and live in Tuscany, in a small town nestled between Florence, Siena, and Arezzo, surrounded by hills and towns that seem to tell a story all on their own. Since I was a child, I have developed a strong connection with visual language through drawing, a passion that still accompanies me today. After attending an art high school, I studied philosophy at the University of Siena, a path that refined the way I observe the world and the people in it. My entry into the wedding industry began with photography and post-production work. Over time, video became the medium I felt closest to: a way to combine image, sound, and emotion, capturing the complexity of a day like a wedding. Over the years, I have documented weddings in a variety of locations across Tuscany — from rolling hills to historic villages and countryside villas — following couples who choose these places to celebrate some of the most important moments of their lives.

On the wedding day, my approach is discreet and respectful. I prefer to observe what happens without intervening, letting moments unfold naturally. I work with a documentary style and a keen eye for emotions, seeking out small gestures, glances, and intimate scenes that often go unnoticed but truly tell the story of the day. Moving through the space in search of the right framing is an essential part of my work, always with care and respect for the people around me. Trust between me and the couple is fundamental: it allows the story to take shape in an authentic and unique way. Every wedding has its own soul. Sometimes it’s the bond with friends, other times with family, and sometimes the intensity of a glance shared between two people who, for a moment, seem to forget everything else. For this reason, I do not focus on any single moment of the day. It is the relationships and emotions that guide the story. .
A wedding, like any promise between two people, is one of those rare occasions when we feel the need to stop time and share something deeply human with others.Even when I’m not working on a wedding, I continue to look for images — often through photography, which remains one of my favorite ways to observe the world.In my free time, I enjoy losing myself in cinema, art exhibitions, and long conversations about art with my partner.
“I observe and keep the emotions that make each wedding unique.”
