About Me

Federico Cardone

Italian Destination Wedding Filmmaker Based in Puglia

I am Federico Cardone, an Italian destination wedding filmmaker based in Barletta, a historic coastal town in Southern Italy overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Since 2013, I have had the privilege of documenting over 350 weddings for couples from around the world who chose Italy as the setting for one of the most meaningful days of their lives. My work has taken me across some of the country’s most iconic destinations, including Venice, Florence, Lake Como, Portofino, Rome, Puglia and Sicily.

A Trusted Experience for International Couples

Planning a wedding abroad requires trust, communication and experience. Working with couples from the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and across Europe, I understand how important it is to feel supported from the very first conversation.

I offer a calm, professional and personalised experience from enquiry to final delivery, helping couples feel confident and relaxed throughout the entire journey.

Elegant, Emotional and Deeply Personal

I believe a wedding film should be more than beautiful images. It should preserve the feeling of the day — the atmosphere, the people, the energy, the emotion. That is why I take time to understand every couple: your personalities, your story, your priorities and the moments that matter most to you.

My approach is discreet and natural, allowing genuine moments to unfold freely while I document them with sensitivity and cinematic intention. The result is a timeless film that feels authentic, refined and emotionally powerful.

My work has been recognised with awards including:

• Best Videographer Wevsy Italy Award 2022
• Best Wedding Highlights Wevsy Italy Award 2022
• Best sound producer Wevsy Italy Award 2022

• FIOF MOVIE AWARD 2nd Place 2019
• IGHA WEDDING AWARD SUMMER EDITION 2019
• FIOF MOVIE AWARD Honorable mention wedding 2017

These recognitions are meaningful, but the greatest reward will always be creating something unforgettable for every couple I work with.

Inspired by Cinema, Music and Real Emotion

My storytelling style is shaped by a lifelong passion for cinema and music. Every film is carefully edited in my private studio in Barletta, where each scene, sound and emotion is crafted into a seamless narrative designed to be cherished for generations.
