Imagine exchanging your vows against the backdrop of Venice’s rippling canals, historic bridges, and serene gondolas. For couples with children, your wedding day is not just the union of two souls, but the celebration of a family coming together. As a wedding photographer in Venice, I have the honor of capturing these moments of love, joy, and familial bliss.

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.

Luca did such an excellent job with our photos. We got engaged and called him the next day, and he somehow fit us in the next day at sunrise. He knew all the best spots and poses and our photos turned out perfect. We were so happy with them. He also uploaded and edited everything very quickly.
A few months later, we realized we hadn’t properly saved the photos and were pretty panicked, but he responded right away and reuploaded them for us immediately. Overall, such a great experience, and we’re really thankful we chose him

Luca did a phenomenal job taking engagement photos for my fiancé and me. Kelly and I love the photos and Luca helped make this dream proposal a reality. We came all the way from Texas and I had found Luca online on Instagram. Highly recommend him! Thank you Luca!

He's the best videographer we could have found in Venice. There are many positive aspects. 1) The ease of contacting him and starting the process. He makes everything very simple and easy to understand. 2) The constant communication, since in my case it was a marriage proposal, and he helped me make everything discreet and perfect. 3) I think it's important to feel confident, and he has that ability to convey certainty and security.
4) The excellent work. The photos speak for themselves, but he has the "eye" to capture the moments.
I recommend him 100%. If you're looking for a videographer in Venice, don't hesitate to contact him.

Luca was incredible! If you are having any hesitations, don’t. Not only did Luca take beautiful photographs, he was able to recommend incredible restaurants and truly made our proposal and trip to Venice unforgettable.

Luca was absolutely amazing and really helped make an amazing memory for me and my new fiancé. As someone who knows the layout he was able to help orchestrate the best place to not only have a surprise proposal but also capture the most beautiful photos throughout the city even taking a route that would allow us to be close to our dinner reservation. Very friendly and professional and he was such an intricate part of what made our moment spectacular.

Luca was an absolute fantastic photographer to capture our proposal in Venice!

I am from America and have never been to Venice, so I was really relying on my choice of photographer to chose the perfect location, away from the crowds in a spot that would capture the essence of Venice. Luca had a great recommendation and it went very smoothly. I also appreciated that he was flexible with the date and time since the forecast was calling for rain.

Another great thing I appreciated about Luca was that he was willing to speak with me over the phone prior to submitting a deposit. Surprisingly, the 3 other photographers I spoke with before him all required payment to even talk, which was very off putting to me.

Finally, my greatest praise is to the quality of his work. He captured the moment perfectly!

Thanks Luca!

If there was an option for more than 5 stars, Luca would earn all of them. With the help of Luca’s dedication and professionalism, we planned the perfect surprise proposal. Luca is organized, detailed, and very passionate about his work which is why I would recommend him to capture any special occasion or memory. He is very knowledgeable about the best photo spots in Venice and the surrounding areas, and was extremely helpful with the logistics that went into planning a surprise proposal in Venice from overseas leading up to the day of. Luca delivered our edited photos very quickly and the results were amazing.

I recently had the pleasure of working with photographer Luca for a photo shoot with my girlfriend in Venice and we were blown away by the resulting photos! Luca's photography skills are nothing short of amazing - he has an incredible knowledge of natural light and the most stunning locations around the city, making our photos look like they came straight out of a magazine. Not only is he highly skilled, he is also very personable and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. The way he captured our interactions with each other was truly magical. We highly recommend Luca to anyone looking for a professional photographer in Venice. Thank you again Luca for an unforgettable experience, we will see you again next year!

I hired Luca to capture some romantic moments in Venice, Italy for our 9 year wedding anniversary. We are from North Carolina, USA. My husband, while very photogenic, hates having his picture taken. Luca did a wonderful job being conversational, keeping it light and fun while we walked the streets and captured some amazing candid and posed shots. His correspondence was personable and he met all the timelines he promised. I am so pleased and cannot wait to frame some of them!
