We were met at the agreed meeting spot on time, by the photographer and his assistant who spoke English. It was a fun experience with him choosing great locations for pictures and the assistant relayed to us his instructions on how to pose and what to do. Very enjoyable time - can’t wait to see my photos !

Our photographer (Michael) and Gondolier (Tommy) were clearly professionals and experts at what they do. Admittedly, we had just travels into Venice and Michael’s calming demeanor helped peel away the fatigue, which led to a memorable experience. As a couple with little kids, we never get a chance to take couple pictures, so this was a nice treat and experience. Thank you so much!
We had a great experience with our photographer Michael! It is hard when you are traveling from another country and not sure how to contact a photographer, so this agency service where they will arrange the photographer for you is great! Michael Zennaro was an amazing photographer and you can see all of his work on his website as well. The photos he took will be cherished for a lifetime ❤️
Marco was fantastic. Knew exactly where to go for memorable shots. Can’t wait to see the photos. This was so much fun; even ended by a spectacular restaurant to wrap Up The evening!
Great experience with the photographer and gondolier! We had a misty morning photo shoot with a few empty Venecian alleyway and bridges which amplified the experience. A bit cold but was February! A very memorable experience.
Michael was an excellent photographer, we love all of the pictures and he took us to great spots that were away from the really busy areas to get the most perfect pictures. He was easy to talk to and made our photoshoot fun!
The gondola ride was so nice and pleasant. The gondolier was great and the photographer was awesome, going above and beyond to help with restaurant ideas, tourist attractions and shopping.
We were in Venice for two nights. It was the end of our trip with our kids before our son leaves for college. I wanted a way to document our time in Venice and get some family pictures. This tour was the perfect way to see a bit of Venice, ride on a gondola and get family pictures. Sara and Mauro were the perfect tour guide and photographer. Sara shared with us stories of her city and her family. Mauro took the most beautiful pictures for us. We can't thank them enough for helping us create wonderful memories.
What a wonderful experience. Michael was kind and personable and made shooting a breeze for my husband and I. He showed us all over Venice and found quiet nooks to take some beautiful photos. The gondola ride was lovely throughout the beautiful city. Highly recommend this experience!
We had a wonderful time. As a couple it is difficult to take pictures together when we travel other than selfies. It was a fun experience and our photographer Michael was so patient and friendly. We were in Carnival costume so was stopped every few minutes by other tourists wanting to take our picture. He patiently waited as we were celebrities for a few minutes. The gondola ride was so amazing. I can’t hardly wait to see the pictures.
Micheal was the best!!! We had so much fun exploring Venice and Michael was so informative with all the history and hidden spots in Venice. We had a great time together, including learning about the gondolas and traveling through the tiny canals. My boyfriend unexpectedly proposed to me which made the experience 100 times better. We even hope to have Michael as our photographer at our wedding! Thank you so much.
We have had many photographers in all metropolises, like Paris, London, New York, etc. but Mauro took by far the most beautiful photos. I would book this again at any time!
Our family had a great time catching some beautiful moments in Venice with Giussepe and our photographer. They were so courteous and lovely to spend time with. We are looking forward to seeing our family pictures!
Wonderful. Our guide Elise and photograph Mauro were wonderful. Very informative about the history of Venice as well as taking beautiful photos. Great service, great photos, great day. Photos will be cherished for years to come.
The photographer was knowledgeable about the city and was an absolute pleasure to work with! Can’t wait to get our photos back.
The chap who showed us around was fantastic. Felt natural and made to feel very comfortable with great knowledge.
We had such a great time, it was full of fun. Michael Zennaro was our photographer, very experienced and so much patience. We loved everything about this photo shoot and the Gondola ride.
This was the most wonderful way to start a Venice experience. My wife and I were on our honeymoon to Italy and Venice was our first stop. Thankfully I found this private photo shoot tour and wow! It is totally worth it. The photos tell a story mere words cannot. Very friendly service, very professional and pleasant experience. We will remember this forever.
We had a great time doing this photo shoot! Michael was wonderful and did such a good job! We are very pleased with the photos that we received.
Michael was AMAZING!! He was fun and personable! He made our entire family feel comfortable (2 adults and 2 teenagers) and had some great hidden away spots for great pictures! He gave us tips on poses to get the best shots, even for our different body types, so we all looked good. He even answered our questions and gave us tips on beaches, water taxis and local traditional snacks for Venice! Highly recommend!!
There is no doubt: the photographer and gondola. Michael was a fantastic guy. Not just a photographer.. He has shown us beautiful places and made a fantastic photos. This is highly recommended.
Giuseppe our tour guide and the photographer were amazing! Giuseppe was a great guy and helped make the proposal to my partner special. I cannot thank him enough!
We were collected from our hotel on time by Giuseppe the guide and Mauro the photographer, both were friendly and professional. Mauro clearly knew good scenic locations in the area and made us feel at ease - neither of us had done anything like this before. We were celebrating our engagement and we would highly recommended it to others.
OK, so this photo shoot was my idea and my husband just politely went along with my plan. After seeing the final photos, we were both so thankful that we had opted for this experience to capture this special trip to Italy in celebration of our 22nd wedding anniversary. These photos really capture our love for one another and the photographer's vision in each setting just takes my breath away. Venice provides the perfect backdrop that add the wow factor to each and every photo. Our photographer knew exactly where to take us and created a narrative for each and every pose. The gondola ride was really special for me and having these photos to look back on for years to come is exactly the perfect souvenir for us. Thanks for sharing your talents with us and preserving our memories of this trip. I highly recommend this experience! It was certainly one of my favorites!
They met us personally at the hotel, coordinated the event and locations that were off the normal path of tourist and memorable
This was a great way to capture our honeymoon in Venice, and to get to see and learn about this beautiful place! Our photos are beyond beautiful and we had a great time! We spent 4 weeks in Europe, I wish we could of have a professional photographer with us the whole time! We can’t wait to come back to Venice, and we will definitely use them to capture the memories! Thank you again!
I booked this as a surprise proposal for my girlfriend and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! Sylvia, our guide was very knowledgeable and funny and even set us up with a dinner reservation for after the photo shoot. The photo shoot itself was great, our photographer knew all the secret spots where you could get more privacy and all kinds of amazing shots. The final photos we received were beautiful. Would absolutely recommend to anybody who is looking for a romantic once-in-lifetime experience while they’re in Venice!
This was a great opportunity to enjoy Venice and obtain terrific photos without having to worry about getting selfies.yourself. This tour combined a coordinator with a photographer which was a great combination. The photographer could work his magic with backgrounds and the coordinator helped get us from point to point around Venice for the best photos at all the hot spots. Giordana was excellent at coordinating and Mauro did the photo work. Well worth the investment for a very memorable visit to Venice.
Thank you so much Marco. We had a really great day, and we love the photos! There are some really nice ones, and the light is fantastic too. You make us look so good! The photoshoot in Venice has been a highlight of our trip, and a lovely memento of our 33rd wedding anniversary.
Marco was amazing, he put us totally at ease and knew everything about Venice he knew ahead of my plans to propose during the gondola ride and took amazing pictures at the exact moment. He made it special helped us back to our taxi and put so much effort into everything. I cannot reconmend him enough.
If you are thinking about doing this with photoshoot. Please do it!! Our photographer was absolutely incredible. Not just with the photos, but taking us to the most intimate and interesting spots. Marco was awesome to speak to about the history of Vince and Italy. Left there feeling like we made a friend. Can not wait to get our photos. Please do this if you are in Venice!!!
The tour guide and photographer were outstanding. They worked with our schedule and worked to capture everything we wanted in the photo shoot. After about 10 days traveling through Italy from Milan to Pompeii, this had to be our favorite experience. Thanks!
Our photographer Mauro gave us a right click, what we wanted. We shared our thoughts and he captured in the right way. Silvia proves to be our right guide, her company and experience were outstanding. Thanks, guys for making our trip so valuable.
Our photoshoot with Marco was a magical experience in Venice that we will never forget. Our photographer met us at our hotel and brought us on a mini tour of Venice. Along the way he photographed us in staged poses and in our natural element. We went to the main areas like St. Marks but also found the quiet corners for really interesting shots. In such a crowded place like Venice the camera really let us feel alone. The Gondola ride was perfect and capped off the photoshoot perfectly. The price (for two hours of professional photography plus a Gondola ride) is unbelievably competitive. One tip to improve the experience - make sure that you call after you book to make sure the time and starting location is confirmed.
Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity! Alberto captured our trip so beautifully. Photographs we will treasure for a lifetime. The value is a steal for his talent! Five stars. *****
The p[hotoshooting experience at Venice was fantastic. Marco, our photographer was amazing - We had the chance to walk around city center (alternative routes) and to enjoy the gondola ride!!! I strongly recommend to everyone !!! Konstantinos
Our photographer Marco was amazing. Not only did he take beautiful and special photographs but he was a fantastic tour guide. We loved learning about Venice from a Venetian. He helped us feel at ease while taking the photographs and the finished products were stunning. Do not hesitate to book this deal. It is expensive but worth every penny.
Planned a trip in July with my partner intending to propose on a Gondola. Giordana was so helpful in organising a perfect evening. This is something me and my partner never really do or get into but was perfect. The photos came out amazing and couldn't of wished for any better. Would highly recommend to capture a special moment.
My husband and I visited Venice in July and we love the city!!! We booked the private Gondola ride with the photography session. We were met at our hotel "Concordia" by our guide, Giordana Losi and her photographer friend Marco. They were prompt and right on time. We proceeded first to the Gondola ride which was a great time and very enjoyable. Marco captured really memorable images while we were riding along. After the ride, we proceeded to travel around many of the canals for various photo opportunities. The best surprise was when Giordana took us to a Venetian mask workshop. The shop owner promptly began putting masks on us while Marco shot photos. Soon we were decked out in complete costumes and we proceeded to go out on a nearby bridge to capture the look. We attracted quite a bit of attention and soon were in the middle of a paparazzi worthy photo event. After the mask workshop, we continued around the city for other spectacular spots for shots. It was an incredible experience and one that should be booked for unbelievable memories.
<p>This was an AMAZING tour. Our photographer Alberto was so knowledgeable and such a friendly person. We had our 22 months old infant with us and Alberto was so kind and accommodating that he held our sleeping baby in one hand and took pictures with the other. He had an amazing knowledge of Venice and gave his deep insights about each location we visited, taking amazing pictures which, we will cherish our whole life. The gondola ride was an icing on the cake. It was truly an amazing experience all thanks to Alberto. I highly recommend this.</p>
<p>I was not looking for this kind of tour to start with. I was wanting to book a gondola ride and this tour popped up with it. I love taking photos so this tour was right up my alley. I decided to book this tour because the reviews were so high. Marco was our photographer, he and the pictures are great</p>
<p>My husband and I chose this tour for our post-wedding photo shoot. It was worth it! Best decision ever. Our photographer Giordana Losi and our tour guide I'm so sorry I forgot his name were wonderful. They brought us to the quiet streets of Venice and suggested great poses for us. The photos were beautiful and very well taken and edited. Exceeded expectations! Great for couples. However, try not to wear heels as there is a lot of walking involved.</p>
We highly recommend you to do this experience. We did it in our honeymoon and we will always remember this experience, plus we have very good photographs of this special moment of our life!
<p>My Husband and I had a wonderful time. Marco you are the best! Marco is so knowledgeable about Venice, and our photos turned out so beautiful. I received so many compliments on the Quality and beauty of the images. This was worth every penny.</p>
<p>AMAZING!! <br/> we booked our photoshoot for saturday. When the photographer noticed that the weather forecasted rain, she asked if we could reschedule. She meet us at our hotel on friday instead. So considerate and kind!<br/> Our photographer Beatrice, and our guide Sylvia were both amazing! <br/> Beatrice found the most amazing off the beaten path places to capture our little trip to Venice, and Sylvia told us of the history of the places we walked past. <br/> Beatrice was very good at finding the right angles, and backgrounds for our photos, and making sure that we didnt have loads of other people in our frames.<br/> The gondola ride was amazing! We received a total of 106 photos from our photo shoot, and we are forever grateful!</p>
<p>This tour was great! I booked this to capture a surprise proposal to my girlfriend on the gondola and was a perfect way to capture the momeny. From start to finish the the personal service from giordana, Giuseppe and Beatrice was 5 starts. The photos are fantastic and I highly recommend this Tour</p>
Our photographer and interpreter met us at our hotel which was brilliant as it was our first day in Venice and otherwise wouldn't of had any idea where to go to. They were very friendly and answered all questions we had about the city. Our photographer was Amazing! Very professional and I am delighted with the gorgeous photos we have received. They are priceless and something we will cherish forever especially as they were taken in such a beautiful city! I cannot thank or recommend this enough!
I planned a trip to Venice knowing I intended to use the occasion to propose to my now-fiancee. Just a few days before flying out, I found this offer on TripAdvisor. I was able to book the shoot with just a few days notice and was able to talk to Giordana, who runs the company, over the phone. She gave me great advice on how to make things go smoothly and even offered to throw in a bottle of prosecco to celebrate the occasion. On the day of, we were met at our hotel by the photographer and an interpreter. We walked around the backstreets of Venice taking photos for about 20 minutes before the gondola arrived. It was the perfect atmosphere for the proposal, and the continued photo shoot afterwards made for beautiful engagement photos. I only wish that the gondola ride was the very first part of the shoot, as I'm sure my fiancee was a little suspicious that I was going to propose when we began taking scenic photos around Venice. However, the photos and memories will last us a lifetime. We were told to expect the photos within 7-10 days, but it only took them 5 days to email us the photos. They were professionally retouched and turned out great.
This was the first time i decided to do a photo shoot and this was the best decision i made on any of umpteen trips. We were in touch with the company way before the shoot to discuss the weather issues since it was raining on most of the days and i was booked up for another tour from the same company. Just a day before the shoot i was informed of the bad weather and we were allowed to reschedule to the next day which was a beautiful sunny day and do another tour after this . Marco Gaggio our photographer and tour guide was a delight and he was so accommodating with answers to all our history questions about Venice and it was just not a photo shoot alone but also a short tour of Venice too. I highly recommend this tour especially the Gondola ride . Boarding at a private place and we have the gondola all to our selves. To make the photo shoot even better we had Venice to our selves especially St Marks square.
Our tour guide and photographer Marco was the best. Our family had such a fun time exploring the alleys and hidden passages of this great city. I never felt rushed and we really got a great tour from a native Venetian. Within a few days of returning home, the pictures were delivered as promised via email. Over 50 great shots. The gondola ride was great as well. Such a fun day! Thanks Marco.
