Muswell Hill wedding specialist Dario Chiesa creates cinematic, European‑inspired wedding and engagement photography. Editorial, timeless images that feel like La Dolce Vita — intimate and elegant.
As a Muswell Hill–based wedding specialist, Dario Chiesa (Inspired By Stories) brings a cinematic, European‑inspired eye to every celebration. Rooted in a love for La Dolce Vita and the Old‑Money, black‑and‑white movie aesthetic, Dario approaches weddings as tiny films: each image rich with mood, light and atmosphere. The result is editorial, timeless photography that looks as beautiful on your wall as it does in a memory. Why choose Inspired By Stories for your wedding in London or beyond? Dario’s work blends fashion and travel sensibilities with a deep respect for real emotion. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement in the UK, a romantic ceremony on the Amalfi coast or a chic Parisian celebration, his images prioritise feeling and detail. Couples return again and again for photographs that feel both effortless and artful — images that transport you back to the moment every time you look at them. How Dario works with couples: the experience is collaborative, calm and curated. It begins with a Consultation + Coffee Date (in London, Paris or virtually) — a relaxed conversation where your story becomes the creative brief. From there comes Confirmation + Creative Direction: thoughtful planning of locations, mood and wardrobe so your day unfolds naturally and beautifully. For many couples a Pre‑Wedding Shoot helps build confidence in front of the camera and yields treasured portraits ahead of the main day. On the wedding day, Dario blends unobtrusive documentary moments with editorial portraiture — capturing vows, glances and the subtle details that make your day unique. After the shoot, every image is individually edited to craft a cohesive gallery: rich tones, timeless black‑and‑white frames and a filmic narrative that feels like a classic movie freeze‑frame. Beyond weddings, Dario also photographs engagement and bridal sessions, bringing the same refined, editorial approach to each shoot. If you value imagery with atmosphere — photographs that are both fashion‑led and deeply human — Inspired By Stories offers a specialist wedding experience rooted in storytelling, style and the joy of the moment.
