Where to take your photographs
Best locations
We choose where to exchange your vows and take portraits according to the season, your preferences and the time available.
San Marco in the early morning
St Mark’s Square, the Doge’s Palace, the waterfront and nearby streets before the crowds arrive.
San Giorgio Maggiore
A vow renewal at San Giorgio Maggiore gives more space, cleaner backgrounds, and a direct view back toward Venice. It works well for couples who want a quieter setting near San Marco while keeping the session simple and visually clear.
Gondola
A gondola vow renewal in Venice places the ceremony directly on the canals and keeps the experience connected to the city itself. It works best for a short exchange when the route, timing, and season are planned in advance.
Scala Contarini del Bovolo
A vow renewal at Scala Contarini del Bovolo offers a distinctive architectural setting with stone details, vertical lines, and a more enclosed atmosphere than the open streets. It suits couples who want a central location with a strong historic backdrop and access arranged in advance.
Venetian Palace
A vow renewal in a Venetian palace provides an indoor setting with privacy, structure, and historic interiors suited to the ceremony and the portraits afterward. It works well for couples who want a controlled environment, especially when weather, timing, or discretion matter.
Private boat
A private boat vow renewal in Venice creates a separate setting on the lagoon, away from the streets and the main flow of visitors. It works well for couples who want a fully private ceremony with open water, distance, and a slower pace.
Celebrants, boats and private venues
I can introduce you to a celebrant and help arrange a water taxi. If you would like a gondola ride, mention it when we plan your session.
Private venues are booked directly by you or your wedding planner. Celebrants, transport, venue hire and flowers are paid for separately from photography.

Frequently asked questions
A vow renewal ceremony in Venice is a short symbolic event where a couple already married exchanges new vows in front of a photographer, often with a celebrant and a few witnesses. It carries no legal status and no paperwork. The format, the words, and the location are entirely your decision. Most couples mark a milestone anniversary, from the first to the fiftieth, and combine the ceremony with portraits across the city.
No. A vow renewal in Venice is always symbolic. Your existing marriage stays your legal marriage, and nothing changes in your civil status, your name, or any document. This is also why the format is so flexible: no paperwork with the comune, no Italian or home-country filings, no registered witnesses required.
The most common are the tenth, fifteenth, twentieth, twenty-fifth, and fiftieth. Couples who plan to renew vows Venice 10th anniversary milestones often pair the ceremony with a long weekend in the city. A renew vows Venice 25th anniversary celebration tends to include older children and parents as witnesses. The first and fifth are also frequent, often combined with a second honeymoon. The ceremony works at any anniversary, and the format adapts to who is with you.
Yes. Some couples come alone for an intimate vow exchange. A Venice vow renewal with children is one of the most common formats, with parents bringing kids of any age as witnesses, often with assigned readings or small roles. I work with both formats and include guests naturally in the documentation without slowing the day down.
A celebrant is optional. Many couples lead the exchange themselves, reading vows written before the trip or repeating their original wedding vows. Others prefer a multilingual celebrant who structures the ceremony and reads passages chosen with you. I can introduce you to celebrants I have worked with for years in Venice.
The format is similar, the audience is different. A symbolic wedding is for couples celebrating a first commitment, often without legal status in Italy. Renewing wedding vows in Venice as a couple already legally married marks a milestone anniversary instead. If you are not married yet, the page you want is symbolic wedding in Venice
Vow renewal coverage starts at €400 and scales with ceremony length, location, and portrait time afterward. Every booking includes the complete edited gallery within ten business days, high-resolution files with no watermarks, and consistent color editing across every location. A detailed quote is sent after our first contact.
Spring (April to June) brings soft light and comfortable temperatures. Autumn (September to November) offers golden light, thinner crowds, and occasional morning mist over the canals. Summer (July and August) is warm and busy: I plan ceremonies for early morning or late evening only. Winter (December to February) is the most intimate season, with a low sun and almost empty streets. Peak season weekends fill 9 to 12 months ahead.
