Venice Photography Services

I’ll work with you to create the perfect experience

Discover a complete range of professional photography experiences in Venice — designed for couples, families, and anyone who wants to capture authentic, elegant memories in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. From weddings and proposals to engagement sessions, elopements and family portraits, each photoshoot is fully tailored to your story, your style, and the atmosphere you want to create.

With 15 years of experience as a Venice photographer, I guide you naturally through the city’s light, timing, locations and unique rhythm. The goal is simple: beautiful images that feel effortless, natural and meaningful

A Local Photographer Who Knows Venice Intimately

Venice is magical, but it’s also unpredictable. Light changes quickly, tides rise, alleys fill with crowds, gondolas move with the current. Knowing how to adapt — when to shoot, where to go, how to read the atmosphere — is what makes the difference between good photos and truly unforgettable images.

As a professional photographer based in Venice for over two decades, I help you navigate:

  • Sunrise and sunset timing for soft, cinematic light

  • Acqua alta and how it affects locations

  • Crowd-free routes

  • Iconic vs. quiet areas depending on your mood

  • Weather and light variability

  • The best spots for romantic or family-friendly images

This local expertise ensures that every session feels smooth, enjoyable and beautifully lit.

Photography Services Offered

Each service is designed to be intuitive, emotional, and visually elegant. The experience matters as much as the final images.

Wedding Photography

Artistic, editorial-style portraits

Your wedding day deserves a storytelling approach that blends elegance and emotion. I capture every detail — quiet moments, joyful exchanges, wide cinematic scenes and intimate touches. Whether you’re marrying at Palazzo Cavalli, in a church, or during a symbolic celebration outdoors, the goal is to create images that feel timeless and true to you.

Proposal Photography

Planning assistance

Planning a surprise proposal in Venice can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be. I help you choose the perfect spot (Rialto, San Giorgio, hidden bridges, gondola…), determine the best timing, and coordinate discreetly so the moment stays authentic and emotional. You enjoy your moment; I take care of everything else.

Engagement Photoshoot

Optional gondola or taxi route

Engagement sessions are about connection — natural, spontaneous, romantic. I guide you gently through easy poses, movement, and fun interactions so your photos feel alive and real. Venice becomes your backdrop: bridges, palazzos, reflections, soft sunrise tones.

Elopement Photography

Emotional storytelling

Elopements in Venice are intimate, heartfelt celebrations. Your ceremony might be just the two of you on a quiet bridge, in a palazzo, or by the water at sunset. I document your vows, emotions, and portraits in a natural, elegant way.

Family sessions in Venice are relaxed, playful and warm. I choose routes that are safe, quiet and kid-friendly, with plenty of space to move and explore. The goal is to capture genuine moments: laughter, interactions, hugs, curiosity, and the joy of discovering Venice together.
