Absolutely wonderful experience! Our friends recommended this experience to us after having such a positive experience and we couldn’t have agreed more! Enzo was so awesome and very helpful when providing instructions where to meet which made the meet up very seamless. With the gondola ride included also contributed to the Venetian experience and made it worth 10/10!!!

Itinerary
I am one of the very few photographers born and raised in Venice. The photos you see on my profile were taken by me. Having been born and raised in Venice (for generations), I will take you to discover the most beautiful and hidden corners of the world's most unique city. After our hour-long photo session—wandering through narrow alleyways and along small canals, and visiting St. Mark’s Square and the Rialto—we will take a gondola ride together (a private tour reserved exclusively for you), where I will photograph you amidst the small canals and bridges that make this city one of a kind. I offer a premium service (my work has been published three times in *National Geographic*, and I have exhibited in Milan, New York, London, and Paris). For this reason, I work only in the early morning, when the light is perfect and there are no tourists around. You will take home a unique and unforgettable memory of your trip.

Why fly halfway across the world and skip the gondola photos? A Venice photo session is about so much more than the pictures. You’ll come home with beautiful memories captured forever while discovering hidden canals, quiet streets, and local gems alongside your photographer.
We had an amazing experience with Enzo as our photographer in Venice! He was incredibly kind and made the entire photo session feel relaxed and enjoyable. He showed us around the city and took us to so many beautiful spots that were absolutely perfect for pictures. The gondola ride was such an awesome part of the experience and made the photos even more special. When we received the pictures, we were blown away by how great they came out. Every photo captured the magic of Venice perfectly. We highly recommend Enzo to anyone looking for an unforgettable photography experience in Venice!
Our photographer’s name was Enzo. He showed up to the meeting point promptly (few minutes early). He was very nice, personable, and always smiling. He took us to several sites for photos for a solid hour before our scheduled Gondola ride at 9AM. The pictures turned out fantastic. The poses he suggested were perfect. I gave a five stars. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Thank you Enzo for being part of our travel memories.
This was an amazing experience! Enzo was friendly, professional, and very easy to work with. We were able to capture all of our photos without anyone in them! We are so grateful for this experience. The photos came out exactly how we wanted them and will have them hanging in our home for many years to admire.
Lovely experience! Enzo is incredibly talented and his photos are beautiful! A wonderful way to celebrate our time in Venice! Definitely recommend!
Was amazing Experience from start to finish. Enzo Even give us direction how to go to the our meeting place. He is a talented photographer. We would definitely hire him again in the future.
This was an amazing experience. Enzo is really amazing! We had a lot of fun. And the photos looks stunning
This is a MUST do! I’m normally not one for photos but this made our special day extra special. We can’t thank Enzo enough for the photos, the locations, and his knowledge of the City in general. We were made to feel at ease during the photos (which were sent through the next day by the way👌) and now have memories for life. A fantastic experience that immediately became the highlight of our trip. Thank you Enzo!!
Excellent quality photos and great location backgrounds. The photographer was very professional. Definitely highly recommend early morning photo shots due to less crowds and cooler temperatures.
Enzo was very communicative as the time got closer. We were going to have rain the morning of our photo shoot and he was very willing to reschedule, but we were on a time crunch, so rescheduling wasn’t an option. He explained our options and offered us a clear umbrella that would still look nice in photos. He was also upfront about the possibility that the Gondola ride can close if the rain is too heavy, but a refund would be granted if that were the case. Luckily, we only experienced a light rain, and the umbrella was helpful in those instances. He was prompt in meeting us for our photo shoot. He also gave clear directions of what he wanted us to do for each photo, which was helpful for us, as this was our first professional photo shoot. We received approximately 85 photos within 4 hours. Overall, we were happy with the experience and felt like it was worth the time and money. We would recommend Enzo, as it is clear he enjoys what he does. He is very knowledgeable and also gives some recommendations of things to do while you’re in Venice.
Enzo was prompt and welcoming. He chose ideal spots for our shoot and made us feel at ease. Photos are absolutely stunning. The available time slot at 0830 was definitely worth it to avoid the high traffic crowds to get the best photo shots. Highly recommended.
Fantastic! Enzo knew all the best locations and the photos were better than we could hope for. We got them the very next day! So happy we did this!!
Had the absolute BEST experience with Enzo, the photographer. He was prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable about Venice; in fact, he is local! He made my husband and I feel so at ease during our photoshoot! On top of that, photos were delivered the same day and were stunning! Best vacation keepsake ever! So glad we found Enzo on Viator! Highly recommend if you are looking for a professional photographer to heighten your Venice experience :)
Enzo was so polite! Photos and photo locations were fabulous! He showed up with an umbrella, walked at a comfortable pace and spoke very good English!
Our time with Vincent our photographer flew by! He was easy and interesting to converse with as we walked the streets of Venice to our various locations for photos. An unexpected plus was he almost acted as a tour guide! He also gave us great direction and poses resulting in some of the most exquisite photos we’ve ever taken together. Before the day was over he had sent over a fabulous collection of photos that commemorated our special trip to Venice.
We have a pleasant morning photoshoot session with Enzo. He is friendly and efficient to bring us to few spots within an hour prior to gondola ride and include my wish to the bridge of sighs. And after 3.5hours, the photos arrived in our mailbox.
Enzo was a great guide and an excellent photographer. He took some amazing pictures of my wife and I on the gondola ride and some very beautiful pictures all over Venice. He knows the local routes and best places to eat at. Would recommend this photo shoot to all couples in love.
Enzo did an amazing job taking pictures! He is super nice & friendly as well as knowledgeable of the area. He took us to great locations where there were not alot of people which in Venice is hard to come by. The gondola ride was also phenomenal! When all was finished he recommended a restaurant and more spots to check out while we were still in Venice which turned out to be great as well. Lastly Enzo got our photos back to us in the same day!!!! The photos also turned out fantastic, highly recommend this experience. 20 stars if I could.
Absolutely wonderful experience! The gondola ride was beautiful and romantic. Enzo was fun to talk to and put us at ease. We loved the whole experience and will cherish the photos for the rest of our lives!
Enzo was amazing! Very friendly and took great photos with a very quick turnaround! Initial photos taken in San Marco then the canal cruise under the Rialto.
Great photoshoot to end our trip! Venice is so picturesque, and Enzo knows the best places to get you all the amazing shots.
Enzo is amazing!! He was a fantastic guide and photographer for our tour around the city on foot and in the gondola. Not to mention we had our boots back in a few hours to view. I would highly recommend Enzo!!
Enzo was absolutely wonderful to work with! This was by far the best decision we made on our trip to Venice. He insisted we arrive at 8am for photos and he was right. The city was empty and stunning! Not only do we have the most beautiful photos from Venice but we felt like we had a private tour of the empty city. It was truly a magical experience. To top it off, he had our photos to us by the next morning. He is an extremely talented photographer. I can’t rave enough about our experience!
This was probably our favorite part of our entire trip to Italy. The photographer was so cool!! We now have the sexiest pictures of ourselves and felt like movie stars being photographed on the streets and a canals of Venice. Highly HIGHLY recommend if you can make it work!
Enzo, our photographer was very impressive! His constant communication through the app leading up to our session and professionalism was definitely appreciated. You can see and feel how passionate he is about what he does. My husband and I have been married for 35 years and this made us feel like we were on our honeymoon. Enzo is a native of the city and took us to the most intimate areas to capture the feel and heart of Venice. Thank you, Enzo for the everlasting photos and memories. This was truly the highlight of my visit to Italy!
My girlfriend (now fiancée) and I visited Venice from 9th - 13th June 2023. I had planned to propose to her on a gondola in the middle of Venice on the 11th. I spoke with Enzo a few weeks prior to arriving to ensure he understood my requirements, which was specifically a private setting (without crowds and in a quaint calm canal) as my girlfriend doesn’t like being the centre of attention. Enzo kindly accommodated to all my requests. He assured me that he would take us to spectacular areas without the hustle and bustle, and without the crowds of hundreds of people, whilst still having the beautiful scenes I required. As the proposal was a surprise, I asked Enzo if he could kindly act as our tour guide as a disguise, so my girlfriend wouldn’t suspect a thing. He played along with my request completely naturally. He took us to the most beautiful canals, quiet and peaceful with stunning architectural settings and bridges. When the moment came, Enzo pretended to show me a photograph on his camera and whispered to me that the moment coming up would be the perfect time to get down on the knee. And that’s when I did it. Enzo captured the moment beautifully and on top of that, took us around Venice to ensure we got spectacular shoots in the after shoot. He was so good that he knew all the perfect secluded spots in an extremely busy city. Even when there were certain spots he wasn’t happy with (because of lighting) he would make us go to another spot, simply to ensure we got the best out of the experience. I cannot recommend Enzo highly enough. He is an exceptional photographer and communicator. He’s someone you can trust entirely to get what you require and more from such an experience. Both, my now fiancée and I, have constantly said if it wasn’t for Enzo, the moment and experience itself would not have been the same. Because of his help and expertise, we have beautiful shots and a memory that we will both cherish forever. Thank you so much, Enzo!!
If you are going to visit Venice you must book a photoshoot with Enzo! He is so kind and made us feel comfortable immediately. He helped us with posing and knew so many amazing locations. We had so much fun with him and the experience and photos are something we will cherish for a lifetime. Absolutely wonderful experience worth every penny!
Enzo was wonderful, nice, and incredibly professional. They make you feel comfortable and the pictures came out gorgeous and romantic. He knew the perfect places to be and where there wouldn’t be a crowd. Definitely would recommend.
Excellent experience!! Great locations for pictures! We felt comfortable with Enzo, he was friendly and offered recommendations of eateries in Venice while walking to picture locations which was great! He had our pictures in my inbox the SAME day! We were very happy with our photos & overall experience, highly recommend!
Enzo is an amazing photographer, we thank him so much for capturing our special day and welcoming us to Venice 😁
Enzo showed up to our spot early, he’s well versed in the area, he made us feel comfortable and communicated clearly what he wanted for every shot, shot over many great locations, was fun to talk to, is extremely talented technically, sent us the photos in a few hours, and above all, captured excellent photos we will always cherish. Thank you! :)
This was a wonderful experience that created lifelong memories for us. Enzo was excellent at placing us at ease and taking our pictures in the most amazing locations in Venice. If you have a trip to Venice coming up, please do book Enzo for this terrific experience!
Enzo was amazing and had planned out my whole proposal with my fiancé! The pictures turned out amazing and he took us to amazing spots in Venice.
The photography session with Enzo was a perfect Finale for an unforgettable weekend in Venice in which i proposed to my wife. Enzo was punctual, friendly and well prepared. He took us to fantastic places (both central and more hidden parts of Venice) and most importantly, took perfect pictures. His pictures are now hanging on our walls as a daily reminder of this perfect day. Thank you Enzo!
Having spent 10 Days in Venice we thought we had seen everything. Enzo showed us hidden beauties, creating smiles that were easy and authentic! Not only did we have an amazing experience being photographed but received the finished products the next day! So happy to have been able to meet Enzo and have beautiful photos that will last a lifetime!
What a spectacular experience!! Enzo was very personable, knowledgeable, professional, and kind. He is passionate about his work and getting the perfect shots. Enzo captures the beauty of the surroundings while capturing the perfect angles of you. Photos were taken in places you won’t find on your own. From private canals, through small streets, to his perfect secret spots, ending on a gondola ride, you won’t be disappointed. Much to my surprise, he emailed the pictures to us the same day with a wonderful variety and quantity of high quality photos. This is a once in a lifetime experience, and you will enjoy these memories for a lifetime! His work is spectacular, and he will exceed your expectations!
Enzo's communication was excellent, helping us to arrive to meet him as many people who are first-timers in Venice can easily get lost. We were a wee bit late, and he was very understanding and welcoming. He knew all the right places to take great shots, and we are very happy with how everything turned out. We would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to get some high-quality pictures in the beautiful island of Venice!
Enzo was very professional and gave excellent service. My wife was very happy with this awesome experience. He knew good places to take photos. The resulting photos were all in great quality. He was very responsive and flexible in very short notice. The gondola ride was very nice. My wife loved ride and photos from it. I recommend Enzo for your unforgettable experience in beautiful Venice.
Enzo was amazing. He took the time to take pictures throughout Venice including while on the gondola ride. He had some really good secrete spots away from the tourist areas. The gondola ride was perfect and in since the took us through smaller canals you get to see a different side of Venice.
Enzo is an amazing photographer! We had a few challenges with tardiness and wind/rain concerns, and he worked with us through it all. He was patient and flexible and we ended up with outstanding photos. Couldn't be happier with this booking. Totally recommend!
Enzo was a true professional. He made us feel confident and comfortable. The photos will be lifelong memories.
Enzo was an absolute rock star. He knew all the right places to go and the right times to visit them for minimal crowds. He is an incredibly talented photographer and also knows a lot about the city and gave us some amazing recommendations. We are very glad we did this while in Venice as we will keep these photos forever. Thank you, Enzo!!!!
Every little think was perfect… since the moment it began until it ended! Mr Enzo was really the best person in the world for this, very profissional and very very kind. It was an amazing Experience and it really made this moments unforgettable and romantic. I recomend 100% this one for a life time Experience and of course with the best photographer Enzo Mistretta, keep the good work ✌️
Perfect experience, if you want to get great pictures not just from a professional photographer, but from a real artist this tour is for you. We are very happy with the results! Highly recommended.
Since we travel by ourselves as a couple, usually the pictures we get together are selfies or something we ask a random bystander to take. This was an excellent opportunity to get some really good pictures taken in a gorgeous place! Enzo had a skilled eye and knew all the neat places to take unique and special pictures. The gondola ride was fun as well.
I would give a 10 if I could! We loved the photo session for our daughter and son. Enzo communicated clearly before and after the session. He is a Venetian who is enthusiastic to share his knowledge of the city and favorite places to eat! He helped my young adult children (20 and 22) feel comfortable and gave direction. My husband and I were included a bit as well! The photos were GORGEOUS and Enzo got them to us within 24 hours. We’ve received so many compliments from family and friends. I wish we could have had Enzo with us throughout Italy!
We loved our shooting with Enzo, particularly cause it was our first time doing something like that, and it was magical. He was super available to meet us anytime, he wrote us the previous day suggesting to meet earlier since the crowd was crazy at the time we booked our shooting. We felt super cool while shooting, he suggested how to pose, encouraged us to have fun. We honestly loved the itinerary, he picked amazing locations that we never saw (he both visited Venezia several times), told us some interesting facts. He just took 1 day to edit everything and send us the AMAZING result. Highly suggested :)
Great photo shoot. Photographer was absolutely amazing. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have such an amazing excursion.
Enzo has been amazing, we were so much at ease during the entire photo shooting, we got so excited and had so much fun! We're also very impressed with the results ♡ Don't hesitate to let him make you the main characters of a gorgeous fairytale! Enzo è stato fantastico, ci ha messi a nostro agio sin da subito e ci siamo divertiti ed emozionati tantissimo! Siamo davvero colpiti dal risultato ♡ Non perdete l'occasione di lasciare che lui vi renda i protagonisti di una vera favola!
