Things to Note About bari
I’m a British editorial wedding photographer living half the year in Puglia, intentionally splitting my schedule between two breathtaking wedding seasons.
When peak season starts, I base myself locally in the surrounding countryside for the summer. Living here means I know the region inside out, from the grand seaside palazzos and old town alleys of Bari to the sunlit coastal masserias nearby.
Because I’m based right on Bari’s doorstep during the summer months, you get a native English-speaking photographer who knows the area intimately, with zero travel or accommodation fees attached.
Nice to meet you, I'm Tim
