About Alexandra Kukushkina – Fine Art Wedding Photographer in Italy

I’m Alexandra Kukushkina, a wedding photographer based in Italy. My journey into photography began in an unexpected way: with a degree in Physics. While science taught me discipline and precision, it was photography that allowed me to explore creativity and human connection. In 2007, I took my first steps into this art — and since then, photography has become not just a profession, but a calling.

 

In 2016, I moved to Bologna, a city that opened the door to Italy’s timeless beauty. Living here means being surrounded by endless inspiration — the golden hills of Tuscany, the elegance of Lake Como, the intimacy of Umbria, the historic charm of Florence, and the romance of Venice. These places are more than destinations; they are stories waiting to be told.

 

Over the years, I have photographed portraits, interiors, and lifestyle projects, but weddings have always drawn me most deeply. To be invited into such a meaningful day, to witness both the grand celebrations and the quiet, unspoken moments, is an honor I hold close to my heart.

 

My inspiration often comes from art, cinema, and architecture, which shape the way I see light, form, and composition. I believe that photography is not about staging perfection, but about preserving what is true: a fleeting glance, a laugh shared with loved ones, a tear of joy. These are the details that turn a wedding into a story, and a photograph into a memory that lasts.

 

For me, every couple brings a world of its own, and my role is to capture it with sensitivity, elegance, and honesty. This is what keeps me passionate about photography after all these years — the chance to create something meaningful, timeless, and personal.

Sincerely yours

ALEXANDRA KUKUSHKINA

Alexandra was our wedding photographer for our elopement in Italy, and we couldn’t be happier we chose her to be there capturing our magical day! From the very beginning she was warm, professional and directive. Her work is stunning, she captures the big moments and also the small subtle ones. Truly we are so grateful to her and her artistic eye for the photos she provided us. Grazie mille Alexandra! Love from Vancouver xo
