I had the privilege of having Jeff take some photos of me in Rome. This was an impromptu decision and he was super responsive and booked me in for the next day. He was very comfortable to work with. Told me how to pose and was just a welcoming person to be around the entire time. He also gives the photos in a timely matter. I was so impressed with the pictures. If you’re thinking of getting pictures done, don’t hesitate with this!
I had an amazing experience doing an early morning photoshoot in front of the Colosseum in celebration of my birthday. The photographer and his assistant were very knowledgeable and put my nerves at ease right away. The photographs and video turned out incredible! I would highly recommend booking with Jeff and Sarah at Eidos photography 10/10! Worth every euro!
We’re so grateful Jeff was able to accommodate us at the last minute during our trip to Rome! He was warm, patient, and wonderful with my toddler, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Taking photos with a little one can be unpredictable, and we really appreciated his kindness and flexibility. Thank you, Jeff, for helping us capture such special memories from our travels. We would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer in Rome, especially those with young children!
We had a wonderful experience with Eidos Photography for our photoshoot in Rome. He was very professional, friendly, and made us feel comfortable throughout the shoot. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and we are so happy with the memories he captured for us. He has a great eye for finding the right locations and moments. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a professional photographer in Rome! We’re really happy with the results.
We had an amazing photoshoot with Jeff at the Colosseum. Taking photos with a 1yr old can be challenging, but he was calm and incredibly patient with our little one and with us. He guided us with poses and took us to different locations to capture a variety of beautiful Colosseum backdrops. He made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. We highly recommend Jeff, especially for families with young children
We had a wonderful experience with the photographers! Jeff and Moji were very friendly and professional, and made the entire 1.5-hour photoshoot enjoyable and stress-free. They were extremely knowledgeable and did a great job guiding us throughout the session. They helped with posing, provided clear directions, and made sure we felt comfortable in front of the camera. They also went above and beyond to make the most of our time by capturing photos with as many different backgrounds and settings as possible, giving us a great variety of pictures. The photos turned out absolutely amazing, and the quality was excellent. We were also impressed with how quickly we received the final photos; they were delivered within just 5 days! Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we really appreciate the effort and attention to detail they put into the photoshoot. Highly recommend Jeff and Moji to anyone looking for amazing photos in Rome, professionalism, and a great overall experience!
If you are looking for a photographer in Rome, look no further than Jeff! He photographed our surprise engagement at the Colosseum and the whole experience was magical. Great communication, super accommodating, and incredibly fast behind the camera. Despite shooting quickly, he delivered breathtaking photos: we can’t even pick a favorite because they’re all so good! Plus, we received our photos super fast. 10/10, highly recommend!
We are so happy we chose Jeff to capture our memories in Rome! From start to finish, his communication was excellent, and he was incredibly patient and professional. We’re not always the most natural or comfortable when it comes to posing for photos, but Jeff made us feel completely at ease. He gave us helpful pointers, was patient with us, and made the experience fun and relaxed. He was also true to his word and delivered our photos exactly when he promised—and they were fantastic! We absolutely love them and will treasure these memories for years to come. If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely wonderful photographer in Rome, we highly recommend Jeff! ❤️
Jeff put an incredible amount of effort into both the photography and a great attention to detail in the final edited photos. He went above and beyond, even extending the photoshoot well beyond the scheduled time to make sure we got the best possible shots. For us this was the perfect way to capture some amazing memories from Rome, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend Jeff! Thank you, Jeff!
Great photo shoot! Guide was very professional and friendly. Photos turned out beautiful! Would absolutely recommend.
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our family’s time in Rome. Jeff’s 12+ years of experience truly show in his talent, professionalism, and ability to create beautiful images that feel completely natural. His style is refined without ever feeling overly posed, and he has such an incredible eye for capturing the little moments that make a photograph feel special. Having our family photos taken at the Colosseum was already something we knew we would treasure, but Jeff made the entire experience even more memorable. Jeff was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. He was patient and kind with our kids, made everyone feel comfortable, and gave us just the right amount of direction so the photos felt effortless and authentic. He somehow managed to capture both the beauty of Rome and the personality of our family in a way that we’ll cherish forever. We are beyond grateful for these photographs and would wholeheartedly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for someone who can turn a special moment into memories you’ll have for a lifetime.
Jeff was amazing and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting professional photos with the Colosseum. We went as a family with our baby and he capture it perfectly. He had the sun setting in the right spot and knew exactly where to place us when and they will be the best souvenir we leave Italy with. I would suggest everyone do this!!
Jeff is an amazing photographer, and his camera gear is truly top-notch. I booked him for a photoshoot at the Colosseum because I wanted beautiful pictures that I could look back on 10–20 years from now, especially since I didn’t have anyone with me to take photos. From the very beginning, Jeff made me feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed. He guided me on how to pose, was patient throughout the shoot, and took so many amazing photos. The end result was absolutely outstanding! The pictures turned out incredible — the quality, composition, and attention to detail are all fantastic. I’m so happy with how they turned out and will treasure these photos for years to come. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone visiting Rome. Not only is he a talented photographer, but he’s also a genuinely wonderful person who makes the whole experience enjoyable and comfortable. If you’re looking for someone to capture special memories in Rome, Jeff is definitely your guy!
I cannot begin to describe how thankful I am that I booked this photography session. My husband and I traveled to Italy for our 15th anniversary and since it was just the 2 of us, I did not want to go back home with just selfies and pictures we took of each other. I decided to book this session so we could look back at the memories we made in Italy. We have not had a photography session with just the two of us since our wedding day, and I can honestly say that these photos that Sara took were just as amazing as the ones we had from our wedding. I will cherish them forever. As a photographer, Sara was very communicative, friendly, personable, and had an amazing eye for photography. When she gave me a preview of the photos, I realized I hadn't noticed all of the beautiful things in the background until I saw the photograph. She honed in on all of the details of the landscape and knew of all of the best places to capture. She also was able to communicate the best ways to stand and pose while also capturing our personalities so that it didn't look posed; just polished. Thank you, Sara, for everything. I will always love and cherish our photos, and will appreciate everything you did for us!
This was an absolutely wonderful experience from first contact to the point of getting my pictures. Jeff and Sara were complete professionals , friendly, and accommodating. I highly suggest working with them. My pictures came out amazing and the cost was reasonable for the hour we had, which was plenty.
From the moment we met Sara, she made us feel completely comfortable and excited for our photoshoot. She has an incredible eye for detail and knew exactly how to capture the beauty of Rome while making every photo feel natural, elegant, and full of emotion. Our session at the Colosseum was an unforgettable experience. Sara guided us effortlessly through poses while also capturing genuine moments between us, creating photos that tell the story of our time together. Her professionalism, patience, creativity, and warm personality made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. When we received the photos, we were absolutely speechless. Every image was beautifully composed, perfectly edited, and exceeded all of our expectations. She didn’t just take pictures—she captured memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a photographer in Rome, especially around the Colosseum, we cannot recommend Sara highly enough. She is incredibly talented, passionate about her work, and truly goes above and beyond to create something special. Thank you, Sara, for giving us such beautiful memories of one of the most magical places in the world. We will cherish these photos forever!
Sara was amazing, very professional and very thorough, she took her time and showed us how to pose for each photo. The end result was a beautiful family album with the highest quality photos and unforgettable memories!
My family booked a "Private Colosseum Photoshoot with Local Photographer (Jeff)" in Rome. The photographer, the experience, and most importantly the pictures were great, highly recommended, far better than any selfie you can take on your own. The pictures were surprisingly intimate and private given the number of people around the Colosseum at any given moment.
It was my husband 40th birthday so I wanted to do a photoshoot in Rome. I booked this with Jeff -Rome photographer through instagram. I also wanted extras such as a 40 birthday balloon. Jeff was very kind enough to make that happen and brought the balloon to the photoshoot day. Me and my husband felt really comfortable throughout the photo shoot. We did several different poses around the colosseum. He was truly a great experience. I would definitely recommend him, also the price was good for the photoshoot, very affordable.
Jeff was amazing and very professional with lots of ideas for photo position for proposal and helped me pick the right place and time, the photos were perfect thank you
Highly recommend this photo package and, if you can, request Jeff. He is top notch, professionally, timely, and kept in constant communication.
We had the best session with Jeff! He was very responsive, punctual and kind. Man oh man… the pictures are STUNNING. I couldn’t be more pleased with our “golden hour” shoot, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to capture memories that last a lifetime.
Excellent work, excellent execution! Thanks Jeff
Best photography experience our family has ever had. So kind and so patient with us (there were 12 of us). The pictures were beautiful and it was worth every penny.
Had a wonderful morning creating fantastic photos and memories of our family with Jeff. We scheduled an early morning shoot before our cruise departure. It fit in perfectly and the weather was much cooler and the streets and sights more peaceful. Highly recommend!
Great photoshoot around the Colosseum and Roman Forum area. Sara took lovely photos of my partner and I that will be printed and framed. We opted to do the 6:30am shoot which was much cooler and less crowded - it was a beautiful morning and great way to begin our time in Rome. Sara was punctual and professional and told us about the area during our shoot. Highly recommend booking this experience!
Our family had the best experience working with Jeff from Eidos Photography. He was incredibly patient with our young boys. We love our photos and will cherish them forever. I highly recommend this company and its photographer.
Jeff, our photographer is one of the friendliest individuals I have ever worked with. He knows how to guide you with poses, his patience and professionalism is extraordinary. He captured our photos with amazing ideology when it comes to angles, setting , tone, color and lighting. Capture your memories with Jeff and you won’t regret it.
Our photoshoot was amazing! Jeff took us around to iconic landmarks, took care of us, helped pose us, and noticed the small things like my necklace being off center. He is kind, charming and talented. We LOVE our pictures and definitely recommend!
Amazing photographer! The photos are beautiful, and he was very patient and kind with our baby. We are so happy with the results and highly recommend him.😊
Sarah the photographer was excellent in her craft. She made us feel comfortable in doing our poses. We are excited to see the finished product. If you're looking for a professional photographer in Rome ask for Sarah she's the best ❤️
It was a pleasure to work with Jeff. He guide us through whole session and made our stress out. It was our proposal photoshoot and he made perfect photos. Also the atmosphere was pretty cool and the most important she’s said YES!
I loved getting my photos done by Jeff. He was amazing at capturing the best quality pictures in beautiful areas around the Colosseum! Would 100% recommend.
It was a good experience and the photos are really nice! The photographer gave good instructions along the way.
Beautiful photos, easy communication and a wonderful finished product delivered in just a few days! definitely book with Jeff!
Jeff was wonderful to work with! The whole booking process was easy and communication was clear and prompt! Loved our photos!
It was fantastic!!! Jeff is so talented and he made me very comfortable during the photoshoot. We took our time and he made sure I had a perfect shot in every spot. He even took the extra time to perfect the experience.
We had a wonderful experience with Eidos Photography for our family photoshoot at the Colosseum in Rome. From the beginning, Jeff was very responsive and flexible, accommodating our needs and preferences with ease. During the photoshoot, he was incredibly patient and adjusted the pace according to our child’s mood and energy, which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable for our family. The photos were delivered much sooner than expected, and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality. Every photo turned out beautifully, capturing the perfect moments and emotions. It was honestly difficult to choose favorites because they were all so good! Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the entire experience and the final results. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional, family-friendly photographer in Rome.
Jeff and Sara are such wonderful photographers with great personalities! They guided us on how to pose and find good places to take pictures. They are also super accommodating to the poses we proposed. They only take 2 to 3 days to edit and send back the photos. Highly recommended if you are looking for professional photographers for Rome!
We had a fantastic experience with Jeff from Eidos Photography. Jeff was very helpful throughout the booking process, explaining the different package options, and suggesting the best time slots for good lighting. We ended up booking an early morning photoshoot. When we arrived at the meeting point 10 minutes early, Jeff was already waiting there for us and immediately got the photoshoot going! He was very good at putting us at ease. We are very awkward at posing for photos, so we really appreciated Jeff's guidance to help us pose and look more natural for the photos 😊 He took us to many spots around the Colosseum, Capitoline Hill and the walk overlooking the Roman Forum. The route was very well planned and the walk was entirely downhill. We appreciated Jeff's thoughtfulness here, because otherwise we would have been out of breath and sweaty in our photos 😅 Jeff was very accommodating to our preferences. Certain poses were easier for us than others and he quickly caught into that and incorporated more of those. At one point I mentioned I really loved the flowers along the way, and he changed up the photo spots a little to get some beautiful roses into the pictures ❤️ Overall, the shoot actually lasted a few minutes longer than we originally booked, and at no point did Jeff make us feel rushed 😊. We received the photos within 48 hours after the shoot, and we were pleasantly surprised to receive more photos than were originally promised!! The photos are incredible! We honestly couldn't believe we could look this good in pictures 😅 These photos are now a very very treasured souvenir from our trip to Rome ❤️ I highly recommend anyone looking for a photoshoot in Rome to go with Eidos Photography, and request for Jeff!
Great experience with Jeff! I did the shoot with my two grandmas and mom. The photos speak for themselves. We had a great time and he accommodated us and held our heavy purses 😂
We booked this Private Colosseum Photoshoot during our recent family trip to Rome, and the experience was fantastic. Jeff was our photographer; he was very professional and right on time for our session. His communication leading up to the meeting was perfect. He captured exactly what we were looking for in a family shoot—the results weren't too flashy, just the perfect, natural shots we wanted. Jeff also delivered the pictures right on the promised time. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great local photographer!
Absolutely wonderful! Jeff is such a talented photographer and nice person. He made the experience relaxed and enjoyable. We highly recommend him and would 100% have him take our photos again in the future. Thank you, Jeff!
We had an amazing private photo shoot session at the Colosseum in Rome! Our photographer, Jeff, was incredibly professional, friendly, and so easy to work with. He guided us through poses the entire time, which made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. The photos turned out absolutely stunning — better than we could have imagined! This experience was truly one of the highlights of our trip and gave us memories we’ll cherish forever. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Rome and wanting beautiful keepsake photos!
Jeff was wonderful to work with! We did the 90 minute premium photographs, which turned into around 2 hours around the Colosseum area :) He does a great job with poses, locations, and finding spots with less people. We started at 9:30am and ai thought it might be too crowded, but it worked out great!
Great photographer! We were a family of 5 in questionable weather and he was so patient and understanding with the kids! Efficient, affordable, understanding and very prompt with getting the professional shots back to us! Highly recommend and would do it again!
Our photographer Jeff was amazing! We could tell he is very experienced. The photos are AMAZING. I wouldn’t have had such amazing photos if it wasn’t for him guiding us on how to pose. Thanks again Jeff, we are so grateful!
We booked the private photoshoot around the Colosseum in Rome, it was amazing. Our photographer Jeff contacted us the morning of our shoot to introduce himself and arrange a meeting point and perfect time for the shoot. When we met him he was so friendly and really professional. He helped us to pose in really great ways and made us feel at ease immediately. He took loads of photos, and they were all really amazing pictures. We absolutely loved the photos and the whole time. It was definitely worth the money. Jeff was a real credit to the shoot and made the whole experience just feel so comfortable and professional. We highly recommend this to anyone who wants some great photos in a great location taken be a great photographer.
Jeff with Eidos Photography was so wonderful to work with! He was SO patient with our very tired family and was great at telling us how to pose which we found so helpful!! He knew the perfect places to go to get the most beautiful family photos!!
