Julian Kanz, Storyteller

Italy Wedding Photographer in Liguria, Tuscany and Italian Lakes

Born in Germany, I discovered my passion for capturing moments at an early age. At 16, my first photographs were published in a Belgian newspaper. By 18, I was photographing Angela Merkel in her Bonn office for an interview. My journey as a photojournalist in Germany allowed me the honor of photographing numerous politicians and personalities, including Bill Clinton, Bono from U2, Helmut Kohl, Massimo d’Alema, and many more.

In 2000, I moved to Berlin, where I helped organize the “Bundespresseball,” the most significant social event of the year, where the opening dance is traditionally reserved for the Federal President and the spouse of the Chairman of the Federal Press Conference.

A few years later, I relocated to Italy, drawn by the lifestyle and sunshine. One day, a friend asked me to document his brother’s wedding, and that’s when everything changed. When I delivered the photographs and witnessed the couple’s emotions, I realized that these were far more than “just some nice pictures.” That was when the magic truly began.

 

At the time it was about the PHOTO – today it’s about the STORY

As a photojournalist, it was about the single shot – as a wedding photographer, it’s about the story. The story of an extraordinary and unique day. With all these details, emotions, candid shots and amazing portraits. How often does it happen in life to invite friends and families, take them to a beautiful place and celebrate a big party all together?

As a wedding photographer in Italy, my photos have been published in numerous national and international blogs, newspapers and magazines and many of my photos have received international awards. German television ZDF came to Italy to shoot a documentary about me, but the biggest award is my numerous and consistently positive reviews from my clients over the past 16 years.
