Venice Wedding Photographer

Luxury Photography in Italy

Your wedding in Venice deserves photography that feels emotional, elegant and timeless. With fifteen years of experience photographing couples across the city’s palaces, canals, hidden corners and golden reflections, I create images that blend artistry, storytelling and the unique atmosphere of Venice.

Whether your celebration is intimate or grand, civil or symbolic, at Palazzo Cavalli or in a private palazzo, my goal is to make your memories last beautifully.

A wedding in Venice is unlike any other. Light changes quickly, crowds gather in waves, gondolas pass at unpredictable speeds, and narrow alleys shift from glowing gold to deep shade in minutes. Navigating these elements requires both creativity and technical mastery.

My approach focuses on:

Soft, romantic light (sunrise, sunset, shaded reflections)
Natural posing that feels effortless and flattering
Editorial-style composition inspired by fine art and architecture
Storytelling moments between you and your guests
A calm, reassuring presence throughout the day

You enjoy your wedding; I take care of transforming each moment into elegant visual memories.

Why Choose a Local Venice Wedding Photographer

Venice is beautiful — but it can also be complex. A local photographer understands more than just the scenery. I help you avoid crowded areas, choose ideal timing and navigate the city’s rhythm with ease.

What local expertise brings to your wedding day:

Precise sunrise and sunset timing to optimise portraits
Hidden routes when iconic spots become crowded
Understanding of vaporetto/taxi logistics for seamless transitions
Instant adaptation to weather and light changes

This ensures a smooth, stress-free day where you can focus entirely on your celebration.

Types of Weddings I Photograph

Every wedding is unique, and Venice offers many different formats. I adapt my work to the style, pace and atmosphere that define your day.

Civil Weddings at Palazzo Cavalli

The official civil wedding venue in Venice, with a ceremony room on the Grand Canal. After the vows, we capture portraits on bridges, canals and nearby alleys with an optional gondola ride.

Religious Weddings in Venice

Beautiful churches such as Chiesa dei Miracoli, San Giorgio dei Greci, San Moisè, San Lazzaro degli Armeni or San Lazzaro degli Armeni offer a breathtaking setting. I photograph the ceremony, emotions, architecture and family moments.

Perfect for intimate celebrations in a palazzo, garden or by the water. A flexible, personal ceremony where I focus on vows, meaningful exchanges and elegant portraits in exclusive locations. You can get simbilicly marrierd In Gondola, at Contarini del Bovolo, in the Garden of Ca Nigra, or at Scuola grande dei Carrmini

Vow Renewals
