Venice Guided tour and photosession

The idea that hiring a photographer and a licensed tour guide in Venice at the same time could be a good one came to me last week when I was talking with a couple that has only a short time during their cruise in Venice and wanted both services. Here I realized that a Venice Guided Tour and Photo Session is the perfect way to see the city and capture memories that will last a lifetime.

Venice Carnival 2022: find your photographer

Despite the lingering of the pandemic made us very accustomed with the idea of wearing mask soon there will be an opportunity to wear completely different ones: the Venice Carnival 2022.

What to do during Venice carnival 2022

As photographer I get involved in many events but still I feel that taking about them is better done by the official organisers, the city of Venice maintains a very informative website about events in the upcoming carnival: following that link will let you learn more.

Among many I would outline one outstanding event to live the luxury atmosphere of the venetian carnival: Il ballo del doge held at palazzo Pisani Moretta.

Another artist I’d recommend to follow is a dancer / model / costume designer and event organiser that I feel incarnates very well the spirit of Venetian best years

Photosession in Venice after the costume party!

This is an idea, the masked party is going to be an unforgettable experience definitely worth being lived. Once you are in Venice with your amazing costumes a photosession will be an enjoyable way to experience the environment and to create visual memories that can be easily be shared with friends at home.
Here I write more about my services as Photographer for Venice Carnival.

Civil wedding: tips of a professional photographer on how to get married in Venice with useful informations about the procedures, hotel and restaurant ideas, places for romantic pictures.

At first planning a civil wedding in Venice may seem to be intimidating, and after some consideration, well, it may definitely be intimidating. I’m trying to share a bit of my experience as a professional photographer in Venice in order to help couples that want to become a family here. I’ll talk briefly about the “paperwork” and then more about what I actually see in terms of timeline of the event, hotel and restaurants for the reception and places where to create wedding images.

Organising a civil wedding in Venice:
Palazzo Cavalli is the building of the city hall where most weddings are celebrated, this is their webpage in Italian with all the details for arranging a civil wedding and this is a page in English from the US consular service about getting married in Italy.
Probably availing of the service of a wedding planner may save a lot of work.

Ideas for a civil wedding in Venice: a photographer’s perspective:

Usually the storytelling start at the bride’s hotel with images or her make-up being finished and of the journey towards Palazzo Cavalli: walking or on a boat will anyway give many opportunities for nice images.
There relatives and guests will be waiting (or not if it is an elopement).
The actually wedding cerimony lasts around 25-30 minutes and then we would have time to move to the actual restaurant for celebrations and on the way we could realize amazing wedding portraits.

In differnt posts I’ll write more about hotels and restaurants.
