Celebrating their wedding in Venice is a dream shared by many couples worldwide. Working as a professional engagement, wedding and honeymoon photographer I regularly meet couples fascinated by this very romantic and unique city: they want to have its squares, channels, alleys and monuments as the background of their photographs in such a special day.

Many couples even treat themselves with a pre-wedding photo service in Venice or with some couple photo portraits in this city wearing their wedding suites before or after the ceremony itself.

Needless to say, Milan ranks well after Venice or Florence in the list of the Italian cities chosen by local and foreign couples for their wedding. However it is still a very beloved city since it offers many attractive spots as background for nice wedding photographs and one of its most beautiful palaces as the location for civil wedding ceremonies.

High water in Venice: avoid it thanks to an app or enjoy it during a photo shooting!

A couple embraces and kisses in a cobblestone courtyard, their reflection shimmering in a large puddle. This romantic and serene scene, perfect for a wedding portrait, is set against a brick wall with arched windows and minimal scaffolding.

This Russian couple made the most of high water and enjoyed a special honeymoon photo shooting in Venice dancing and playing in the flooded Piazza San Marco.

High water is a common event in Venice, especially from October to December. But you can run into it (or rather… walk into it! ) even in springtime. It is mostly due to an unlucky combination of several factors, such as bad weather, tides, winds and artificial digging works which influence the water in the Venetian lagoon and allow the seawater to flood the city in a short while.

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 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!
