Your Personalized Venice Experience

With over 15 years of experience and a background in Art History, I offer more than just images – I create elegant, artistic memories that reflect your story and the timeless beauty of Venice.

Picture yourself strolling through peaceful Venetian streets at sunrise, surrounded by golden light. I’ll gently guide you throughout the session to make you feel comfortable and confident, capturing honest, emotional, and cinematic moments.

That’s completely okay – many of my clients say the same. My calm and supportive approach helps you relax quickly. You don’t have to pose or perform – just enjoy the moment, and I’ll take care of the rest.

To secure the best light (like sunrise) and availability, I recommend booking 2–3 months in advance. However, feel free to contact me last minute – if I’m available, I’ll gladly make it work.

Yes! I send each client a personalized style guide. I recommend soft tones, flowing fabrics, and comfortable outfits that highlight your personality and look stunning in the Venetian light.

Rain can be incredibly romantic in Venice. If the weather is too harsh, we can reschedule – I always keep some flexibility. And yes, I bring clear umbrellas that look beautiful in photos.

Absolutely! Venice is filled with stunning locations perfect for your photoshoot.
I’ll help you select the perfect location based on your style and preferences, ensuring your shoot captures the magic and romance of Venice.

Absolutely – including a gondola or private boat session is one of the most magical experiences you can have in Venice. It offers stunning, intimate perspectives of the city from the water, allowing us to capture unique angles of the canals, bridges, and hidden corners unreachable by foot. The gentle movement and romantic atmosphere provide natural, relaxed moments perfect for beautiful, unforgettable photographs..

Yes – and I love them! I’ll help you plan the perfect location and timing, and discreetly capture every emotional detail of the big “Yes!” and the celebration that follows.

Most sessions last from 1 to 3 hours, depending on your vision. A longer session means more variety – different backgrounds, lights, and moods that make your final gallery even richer.

No, I don’t deliver RAW files.

Why? Because the final images you receive are carefully edited to reflect my artistic vision and professional standards. RAW files are unfinished—they don’t represent the quality, style, or emotion I aim to deliver.

You’re investing in a complete experience, not just files. I want every photo you receive to be polished, intentional, and ready to impress. 

Yes, absolutely! If you’d like guidance, I’m more than happy to offer outfit and styling advice.

For timeless photos—especially in a place as iconic and elegant as Venice—I always recommend:

  • Neutral or soft tones like beige, ivory, blush, or light blue—they blend beautifully with the Venetian palette.

  • Flowy fabrics that move with the breeze—perfect for that romantic, cinematic feel.

  • Elegant silhouettes that won’t date—classic cuts always photograph best.

  • Minimal, refined accessories to keep the focus on you and the moment.

Of course, I’m here to help tailor everything to your style, so you feel confident and radiant in front of the camera.

Once you reach out, I’ll personally ask you a few simple questions to get to know what you’re envisioning. From there, we’ll plan your session together—choosing the perfect time, locations, and style. I’ll guide you through every step and take care of all the details, so you can just enjoy the experience.

I blend artistic vision, human connection and 15+ years of experience. Every couple I meet becomes part of my story too. I don’t just take photos – I create meaningful, soulful visual memories you’ll treasure forever.

You’ll receive all the successful images from your session, with a guaranteed minimum of 70 fully edited photos per hour. I only remove duplicates or images that don’t showcase you at your best. Each photograph is captured in maximum JPEG resolution (45.7 megapixels), offering exceptional detail, vibrant colors, and outstanding image quality.

Your photos will be delivered through a private online gallery, downloadable in both high resolution for printing and lower resolution optimized for sharing on social media.

Yes – I offer gentle, natural retouching. If you’d like me to adjust something specific (skin tone, distracting elements in the background, etc.), just let me know. My goal is always to enhance your natural features, not alter who you truly are. However, please note that if your requested edits require extensive post-production work, I may deliver a slightly smaller selection of images to avoid excessive editing time and ensure my business remains sustainable. If your requests are particularly complex or require significant additional editing time, an extra fee may apply to cover the additional days of work involved.

No, I don’t offer printed albums directly. However, I deliver all your photos in high resolution, fully prepared for professional-quality printing. For creating beautiful, personalized albums with professional standards, I highly recommend specialized services used by photography professionals such as Graphistudio, Floricolor, DreambooksPro, Queensberry, or AsukaBook. These companies offer premium materials, exceptional print quality, and a wide range of customization options to create stunning albums perfectly suited to your tastes and expectations.

I use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop for professional color grading, retouching and exporting. Everything is handled with a fine-art and documentary approach.

No – you receive fully edited, high-resolution images with no watermarks and full personal usage rights. You can print and share them freely.

You will receive a private online gallery downloadable in both high resolution for printing and lower resolution optimized for sharing on social media, optimized for desktop and mobile. The gallery stays active for 6 months minimum.

Yes – I include a selection of key images in black & white when the emotion or lighting truly shines through in that style.

If you’d like more of your gallery in black & white, I’m happy to include additional versions for a small extra fee—just let me know your preference!

Yes – I use two Nikon Z8 cameras, widely recognized among professionals as one of the best cameras on the market today. They deliver extraordinary image quality, unbeatable autofocus precision, vibrant colors, and exceptional performance even in challenging lighting conditions.

I pair these cameras with prime lenses, one dedicated specifically to close-up details and portraits, and another suited for wider shots and landscapes. This technique ensures unparalleled sharpness, clarity, and artistic depth. Using prime lenses allows me to capture images with optimal brightness and minimal distortion, providing consistent, high-quality results regardless of the shooting environment.

Absolutely. Your files are saved immediately to dual memory cards, backed up on external drives, and uploaded to secure cloud storage. I treat your memories with great care.

Yes – each selected photo is professionally edited, with a focus on enhancing natural beauty, light and mood. I never over-edit; my goal is to preserve the authenticity and elegance of your emotions.

For smaller sessions, you’ll receive your online gallery within 1 to 2 weeks. For larger services, delivery takes 1 to 2 months, depending on my workload at the time—but I always do my best to deliver as quickly as possible without compromising quality.

Your photos will be sent via a private online link, where you can easily view, download, and share them. Need them sooner? Express delivery is available upon request.
