A Serendipitous Engagement Session in Venice: Love Off the Beaten Path

A black and white image of a person with short hair seen from behind, as another person's hands gently rest on their neck. One hand has an engagement ring with a large stone. The background is softly blurred.

Sometimes, the best moments in life come when you least expect them. I had the pleasure of capturing a beautiful love story when a couple, newly engaged in Florence, contacted me last minute for an engagement photoshoot in Venice. With no proposal photos planned, they sought a romantic, off-the-beaten-path experience in Venice—the next city on their travel itinerary. This impromptu session turned into a memorable celebration of love in one of the world’s most enchanting cities.

Civil wedding for a couple with children

I personally find very special when the couple that is getting married already has children, this multiplies the intensity of the emotions and makes my job as wedding photographer even more stimulating since there are multiple stories to translate into images.

Photo portraits: are you a color or black-and-white type?

photo portray of a tv moderator Italy — Black-and-white photos get rid of the ‘noise’ of color and focus on the subject’s body shapes with a kind of ‘out of time’ flavour.

Photo portrayals are more than images: they are mirrors of a person’s distinctive physical characteristics, personality and feelings in a given situation.

By using different photographic techniques one can portray a person’s unique traits while meeting his or her own taste.

Couple photographs for scholars: love to the second power!

Caught in a tender moment of engagement, a couple shares a kiss while embracing amidst the blurred cityscape with a distinctive tower rising in the background. The man in his blue shirt and beige pants, and the woman in her red dress, create a timeless portrait as dusk envelops them.

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!
