Cinematic Storytelling for the Modern Romantic
Your wedding story deserves to be more than remembered — it deserves to be felt.
At Koman Studio, we craft cinematic wedding films that capture the heartbeat of your celebration — the laughter, the quiet moments, and the in-between glances that words can’t describe.
Based in Tuscany, Italy, and filming across Lake Como, the Amalfi Coast, Florence, Sicily, Provence, and California, we bring an editorial yet deeply emotional approach to wedding cinematography. Each film is composed with purpose — guided by light, movement, and authentic emotion — transforming your day into an elegant visual narrative.
Our philosophy is simple: your wedding film should feel like you — timeless, graceful, and full of soul.
Through thoughtful storytelling and refined imagery, we create films that allow you to relive not just what your wedding looked like, but what it truly felt like.

FROM OUR BRIDES
I cannot say enough GREAT things about the Komans!!! As soon as we had found their site and saw their beautiful photos, we knew we just HAD to use them!!! We were unable to meet Marlene and John before our big day since we were planning our wedding from across the country, but as soon as we had met them it felt like they were old friends to us. They both made us feel so comfortable on a day that can be so busy and nerve-wrecking. They gave us so much direction that we didn't have to worry about anything except having fun!!! Because our wedding was so small and intimate, we were able to spend a ton of time taking photos and some of our most memorable moments were hanging out with them. I also love that Marlene and John will show you the photos as they are taking them, so you know exactly what you look like...I am not kidding when I say that it looks like their photos have already been edited when shown on the "preview" screen. These two are true artists!!!! Not only are Marlene and John talented and professional but they are so kindhearted and funny as well. We will recommend them again and again!!! These two are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!!

LOOK NO FURTHER. That's right, you have just found the most amazing wedding photographers EVER. I must admit, I am not so easy to please & I was more than impressed with the Komans. From our first meeting they made sure to answer all of our questions and were really easy to get along with. Throughout our communications they were always very professional, super sweet, and very prompt in every reply. And of course, their photos speak for themselves! They're commonly featured on StyleMePretty and you could be too! They use soft natural lighting and make sure your photos have a variety of shots, romantic, classic, natural, posed, whimsical, fun, wide angles, close ups, you'll have so many beautiful shots to choose from... That will be your biggest problem! My bestie told me when she got her photos back (by another photographer) she only had a few she liked. When we received our shots, it was quite the opposite! Marlene and john work so well together that they capture you looking your best! And they're such a pleasant and sweet couple themselves, it's really easy to be natural and sweet around them too. We truly felt blessed to be working with a team who truly have passion and pride in their talent and hard work. We absolutely love love love all of our photos and I couldn't recommend anyone else to any of my besties!

Happy anniversary to us — 16 years married today. ❤️
It’s crazy how fast time goes. Sixteen years of laughter, travel, late nights editing, early mornings chasing light, and building this life together — one photo, one memory, one adventure at a time.
We’ve grown so much since that day, but what I love most is that we still make each other laugh, we still dream big, and we still face everything as a team.
From California to Tuscany, from two to four (plus our furry ones 😅), and through every up and down — I wouldn’t change a thing.
Here’s to 16 years of love, friendship, and partnership… and to all that’s still ahead. ❤️

A wedding straight out of a fairytale ✨
Nestled on the breathtaking shores of Lake Garda, Isola del Garda feels like a hidden gem where history, elegance, and romance come together. From the majestic villa rising above the water to the lush Italian gardens, every moment of this day was pure magic.
A love story surrounded by sparkling waters, golden light, and the timeless beauty of Italy’s most enchanting island. 🌿🏰💍
