During this honeymoon photo service at Garda Lake the bride and the groom accepted my suggestion to play with the bridal veil.
Last September a nice just-married Russian couple hired me as a honeymoon photographer to shoot them on the background of Garda Lake in Desenzano. Since the wedding had already taken place in Russia, they just wore their wedding dresses again in their hotel room, walked along the lake and posed for some shots in some romantic spots.
This honeymoon photo service enclosed some shots in romantic spots at Garda Lake
In order to make the photo session more dynamic and funny, I suggested the bride to play with her veil and let it dance in the air: she was glad to do it and her husband contributed to the dance. The dance began at the hotel and went on during the whole session: at the lakeside, at the lighthouse, in the gardens, etc.
As a honeymoon photographer I enjoy enlive my photographs with creative ideas and suggestions.
This is a nice example of how a little detail and a creative idea can turn a common couple photo session into some really pleasant hours and unique shots.
The young couple I shot at Desenzano enjoyed very much my idea of playing with the bridal veil during our honeymoon photo session
During the vow renewal photo shooting I did lately, the bride decided to change her shoes to walk on with a more comfortable pair
Most of the tourists visiting Venice are well aware of it: to enjoy a nice tour of the city, you should not forget a pair of comfortable shoes. Since Venice is no place for cars, anyone visiting it is almost doomed to walk along many alleys and through lots of arcades, going up and down many bridges..till your feet are burning!
Now, when I am hired as a photographer for engagement, honeymoon or wedding photo services in Venice, more often than not I meet people enjoying an elegant attire, be it their wedding dress or just a very nice suite. They understand the shooting as the chance to portray a very special situation and want to look as charming as possible.
During a honeymoon photo service I did for a Russian couple, the lady only wore her elegant pair of shoes for the best shots
This the reason why I often happen to shoot couple with very elegant shoes which in most cases are not really the most comfortable ones. This especially true as for women, who enjoy wearing high heels and elegant shoes during their wedding, honeymoon photo shooting or even during a simple couple photo session in Venice.
A young Russian bride that hired me for a honeymoon photo portrait, only wore her elegant shoes for some special poses.
Moreover, I like to propose my customers an informal photo walking tour in Venice which let them discover some hidden spots in Venice and gives me the chance to make some spontaneous and lively photo portraits. Therefore it is not so uncommon that during the photo shootings I make in Venice the lady decides to change the shoes, wearing the elegant ones only from time to time when there is a need of a very elegant look. It also happen to me that elegant shoes were removed and the lady, who had not taken with her another pair, just decided to walk barefoot in the high water.
It also happened to me to shoot a bride taking off her elegant shoes to save them from high water in Venice and walking on barefoot!
So, if you ever plan to have a nice walking photo shooting in Venice, do not forget to take comfortable shoes with you!
This young Russian couple enjoyed dancing in Rapallo’s streets which ensured a very lively honeymoon photo shooting
When I am hired a professional photographer to make couple portraits (being them wedding, engagement, or honeymoon photo services) I always try my best to catch the couple’s personality in my shots so that their real nature might be well represented in the pictures and the customers will be satisfied with the final results of the photo shooting.
Exploring and making the most of Rapallo’s landscape was very useful during this honeymoon photo service with a curious young Russian couple
Beside, I try to make the shooting as pleasant and exciting as possible, so that the couple can keep happy memories of the hours spent with me and my camera. Needless to say, couples are very different from one another and I have to adapt to their personalities and special request to have an enjoyable photo service and beautiful portraits after that.
The couple enjoyed acting, posing and making jokes during their couple photo shooting.
The honeymoon photo shooting I lately did for a young Russian couple in Rapallo (on the Ligurian coast in Western Italy) is a fine example of a nice honeymoon photo service: the couple had a lively and ironic attitude and did not refrain from playing jokes with each other, acting and posing in funny ways.
Jumping was also part of this funny honeymoon photo shooting!
That’s why, beside some romantic shots in the narrow alleys of Rapallo’s town centre or at seaside, we managed to make some funny and dynamic shots with the couple dancing, playing piano together, jumping, and gently mocking at each other, which ensured creative pictures to be taken and much fun for the couple and…the photographer himself!
The couple’s spontaneous personality allowed some creative shots to be taken.

Yulia’s and Pavel’s photo portrait as fine example for a photo walking session in Venice
Yulia and Pavel enjoyed a perfect photo walking tour with their honeymoon photographer in Venice
Yulia and Pavel, a young Russian couple who hired me as their a honeymoon photographer in Venice gave me the chance to enjoy a lively photo session which can well explain what I mean by “informal photo shooting”.
The couple enjoyed exploring Venice’s hidden spots while I was shooting original couple portraits
This is the kind of photo service I like to propose to most of my clients asking for a pre-wedding, destination wedding, honeymoon photo service, or just for a couple portrait in Venice. It basically means letting the couple careless strolling in the city, exploring its most hidden alleys, squares, perhaps relaxing for a while sitting on stairs or benches, resting in a café, or kissing under an arcade.
We also stopped in some romantic spots to make shots with more “classical” Venetian background
In the meanwhile I make the most of my camera, equipment and experience to get some high-quality shots of these moments without asking the couple to pose for most of the time we spend together. I let the couple discover by themselves and admire Venice’s different faces, sometime suggesting to have a look at my favorite secret spots or play with funny poses, like jumping o running towards each other.
Needless to say, we also stop in Venice’s most romantic spots to make some shots with “classical” backgrounds, like Rialto Bridge, San Marco Square or the Academia Bridge.
Rialto Bridge was also included in our photo walking tour.
Yulia and Pavel enjoyed their photo walking tour very much, let themselves be amazed by the city and spontaneously played with me and with each other: the result is a series of funny, informal and original shots, alongside some more “standard” couple portraits in Venice.
What about you? Are you ready for your own informal photo walk in Venice?
During our photo walk I gave the couple the chance to rest and relax while I could shoot a nice picture with a great background
