Ilva Rimicane Photography

We called on Ilva to photograph my nephew's baptism in a small church north of Paris. While being discreet but with an eye for detail, kindness and professionalism, Ilva was able to put us at ease in front of the camera, talk to us and guide us throughout this ceremony dear to our family. The photos she took are remarkable. The colors, atmosphere and light of the photos look very natural, warm and pleasant. We are very grateful that Ilva accompanied us to capture these important moments of life

Ilva has been my photographer for a few years now, whenever I have celebration, I always contact her. I like the natural, candid pictures that don't look too filtered. I feel absolutely comfortable when having her photograph and direct me how to pose or what to do to get a beautiful pictures. She also photographed my cakes, many of her pictures were used in my website. I highly recommend Ilva, she is kind, fun and she delivers pictures on time!

Ilva, Your images beautifully captured the warmth and love we experienced on our wedding day. You seamlessly caught so many special moments-we can't thank you enough for being such a kind presence and for sharing your incredible talent with us. We love these photos and will cherish them!

Ilva did an absolutely outstanding job at our wedding. From the very first minute we were comfortable with her guiding the photoshoot. Our guests also absolutely loved her.

Our wedding date was chosen randomly 07.07.2017. At the beginning of the year we were slowly trying to put everything together on the shelves and organize everything as soon as possible. It was only a little later that we realized that we had chosen the most requested date of the year. Since we plan everything ourselves, we also searched a lot for information on weddings on the Internet, magazines and exhibitions. We wanted everything to be perfect because it is our holiday. It was important to find a modern photographer with a fresh look at such an important event. Not just to come and execute your work according to a template, but to approach the whole process with special style and enthusiasm. At the wedding exhibitions we were not approached by the photographers we saw and their work. Then we started searching the Internet. Of course, FB and other sites were loaded with info and had to work through everything until we found the right one. There were a lot of portfolios reviewed and a lot of reviews read because such a serious event had to prepare for everyone 100%. Speaking to each other about what we expect from the photographer and what style we want to see reflected in our day, we came to the common denominator. We needed soft pictures (not bright and eye-catching), muted, cordial. It was important to make contact with the photographer as a friend, not to feel disturbed in his day, to be present, but at the same time unnoticeable. We are looking for pleasant, cordial communication, and that was important too. We were looking for someone who sees the world through our eyes, with whom we share a view of an event that experiences the magic of the moment. Ilva's portfolio appealed to us, she liked everything, the color gamut, her style and the sincerity, depth and sincerity of the moments she captured. We made an appointment. When we saw Ilva in the cafe we ​​were a little scared. Young student student, will you be able to take everything seriously and seriously ?! After talking to her and reviewing the portfolio, laughing together, we realized she was the real one! Our wedding day was approaching. Ilva and I talked about a plan for when the day will start, where we want to be photographed. She listened to our wishes and offered her advice. Communication was easy and unobtrusive. In our day, we expected everything as we had planned. A photographer with a great mood and a sense of humor. It was difficult to choose which pictures to take when making the album because there are many and they are really beautiful. Favorite, of course, are portrait pictures and pictures in nature. When we had a daughter and we were ready for the photo session, we already knew we were going to turn to Ilva. It is easy and pleasant to work with, the result is very good, the number of pictures is great, good emotions and memories are guaranteed!

Thank you Ilva for the little surprise, that was sweet of you! The photographs convey the feelings and memory of the day as I remember it.

ILVA THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍 You have captured everything and everyone so perfectly! It feels like a bit of a dream now and somehow you managed to capture that dream like lighting in the photos! I don't think we can ever thank you enough! I just hope you enjoyed yourself and some more people book you for trips to Scotland! Can't wait to see the rest!!! I've sent the link to the florist and venue too so if they are sharing they will tag you!

Hi Ilva, Wow, thank you!!!! We love them! Goodness, so many, as well! I like the selection you chose, they are perfect. Still working through the larger group, but it's lovely to have so many to look at. I am spoiled for choice, I don't know what to print as they are so good. I think many of my faves are the little details, the ring shots, Steve sitting with his shoes off by the bbq, the ones of me and my flowers sitting at the table as we walked round, and I love the ones of me leaving the roulotte and us walking round to get married. The bridge backdrop is beautiful, and hilltop just dreamy. Neither of us can remember what we were laughing about when we were drinking the champagne! The only thing missing is a picture with you in, we really should have taken one. Thank you again, we are so happy with them! Best wishes, Amy

Hi Ilva We just wanted to say a massive thank you for our photos. They are perfect, exactly what we wanted. We have had so many compliments already from friends and family and we can't wait to make a beautiful book to remember the day. Many thanks again for everything. Judith and Graham
