A little bit of background, I plan things ahead, even way in advance. Flashback to a little over 3 years ago, in preparation for our 10-year wedding anniversary, we planned to celebrate it in Venice and me, as the advanced planner, found Ksenia on Yelp and immediately booked her to capture this joyous occasion. Her price was reasonable and she was responsive. Responsiveness is very important to me, so I appreciated that about Ksenia right off the bat. Unfortunately the pandemic happened so we couldn't take our trip after all. After waiting almost 3 years, I contacted her again in hopes she was still around and good news... she was and honored my booking. Over this past summer, we finally took our long awaited trip and the anniversary pictures that was supposed to be for our 10-year became a reality. It is better late than never and was worth the wait. The best anniversary gift ever. I'm in tears (tears of joy!). I am beyond happy!!! Venice is so magical and its beauty really shows in the photos that we will cherish forever and ever!

I proposed to my fiancee and she helped me arranged everything since I was coming from abroad. Not only that, but she was very discreet at the time of the proposal, making it a complete surprise for my fiancee. The spots for the pictures, the proposal, everything was perfect!. I was completely happy with her customer care and professionalism.

She stayed with us after the engagement longe than she needed to and even though the weather was not great she somehow managed to take the most beautiful pictures, making an otherwise rainy, drizzly day look magical like out of a movie. A truly talented photographer. I highly recommend her for any event. You will not be disappointed.

Camilla photographer in Venice…read more We booked Camilla for a Romantic Walk photograph session so we could finally get some photos together as a couple. We didn't know what to expect as we had not done a session before, but Camilla made us feel so comfortable and made the entire process so easy! She gave gentle instruction about what to do in front of the camera, and we didn't feel awkward or uncomfortable at all. We walked along the Piazza San Marco and surrounding area. She was great about trying to get shots in despite things happening around us (boats in the way, other photographers/couples, and even a bloody headless pigeon that a seagull threw at us). As she has lived in the San Marco area itself, she knows where to go for cute shots! Camilla was professional, warm, and such a pleasure to spend our morning with! She sent us a few preview photos only a day or so after our session, and we are excited to see the rest of them!

My Fiance and I had had planned trip to Italy. We decided to have our engagement photos done while…read morewe were in Venice. I am so glad we booked with Michele. He was really responsive to our questions via email. He was incredibly easy to book with. What made the process even easier is that he met us at our hotel so as travelers we did not have to figure out a locations to meet. Since he is from Venice he knew the in and outs of the side street and alleys. He was able to take us to beautiful areas in Venice that were not as congested and the popular tourist sights. We did finish up at St. Marco Square to have the traditional Venice photos as well. He was helpful with directives on how to pose. There were shots that I thought were crazy but when you looked at them after they came out amazing. Michele knows what he is doing and our photos reflected that.

I am glad he was able to capture this moment for us. I would highly recommend him!

Not only is her work absolutely stunning, but she is a true professional and just a wonderful person. Kinga provided me with a perfect roadmap on how to best capture the moment which helped take the stress and nervousness out of such an exciting time. Her and I were in contact every day leading up to the big moment and she made the whole process seem easy. After the proposal itself, Kinga took us around Venice to continue shooting our engagement pictures and I cannot describe it any other way other than saying it was just fun! It was honestly as if one of our close friends was hanging out with us after we just got engaged, and that that friend just happened to be an amazing professional photographer. The pictures themselves are spectacular. Family and friends alike have shed tears of joy after seeing the full set pictures and who could blame them? They are perfect! On behalf of Chessie and I, thank you, Kinga for capturing the happiest moment of our lives and thank you again for being an amazing person. We look forward to seeing you and working with you again!

We can easily say that our afternoon with Peitro was the highlight of our very first visit to…read moreVenice. Communication with him leading up to the photo shoot was great, and he was so accommodating of our schedule changes. When we met him he immediately put us at ease, made us feel natural and still allowed us to take in the sights. He had a great knowledge of the city, and knew the perfect spots for photography. He even timed the whole shoot so that we would arrive in San Marco square just as the sunset light was glowing on church. We enjoyed some time afterwards with Pietro at his favorite spot for the local drink Aprol Spritz. For our first vacation photographer, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. And once we received the photos, which he started to upload to a shared google drive folder the very next day, we were really blown away. The photos captured our moments with candidness and beauty. For a truly personalized experience in Venice, look no further than Photographer Pietro Volpato. Thank you Peitro!!!

If we had the ability to give more than 5 stars, we definitely would! Andrea was beyond perfection…read moreand professional in every sense of the word. I am so happy still that my husband found Andrea. He was the first photographer that we had looked at and after viewing other portfolios and their websites, we still came back to Andrea. His style is exactly what we were looking for for our wedding in Venice in May 2015. When communicating with Andrea, he was prompt and humbling. He was such a delight to converse with while planning a pretty important event! Andrea made this portion of the wedding so easy to plan and organize that it made everything else easy to handle and we were able to focus on other matters. We both found his rate extremely reasonable and we were more than happy to pay for quality. You get what you pay for and I certainly did not want to skimp on photos of such an important life event! On THE day, 5/29/2015, Andrea arrived early to our hotel; Hilton Molino Stucky. Once the wedding planner arrived, we were able to get started! He was so much fun to work with, keeping the mood light and not stuffy like I imagine most wedding sessions to be. He was creative in taking photos of the usual items: the dress, shoes, putting on jewelry etc. My favorite photos are ones that are candid in nature. He took plenty of those and I am so glad because they captured the vibe and feel of the afternoon. The name of the game for our wedding was NO stress and I couldn't be happier that none was to be found. From taking a private water taxi to our venue **Clooney Style!**, the ceremony and walking through Venice for 3 hours to our dinner at the Westin Europa & Regina through San Marcos, the entire experience was fun, easy and entirely memorable. The 3 hours spent walking went by so fast because we were having a blast and just enjoying the moment. His eye is impeccable and can easily spot unique settings; walking through Venice he spotted many different photo ops...that said, all of Venice is gorgeous so we weren't hard pressed to find photogenic places. Ranging from fun to romantic, his shots captured the mood of the day and we are still so thrilled and enamored with the photos we received and in such a timely manner! I have heard horror stories about photographers taking 6 months or more to get photos back to clients, so I was so excited to see that he had sent them to us by the first week of July. Every time I look at the photos, a huge smile comes across my face. Andrea is the epitome of professionalism and definitely has the enthusiasm for it. If you are looking for a photographer, I implore you to look no further than Andrea Fusaro. Grazie Andrea per rendere il nostro grande giorno quello che ricorderemo per il resto della nostra vita grazie alle foto bellissime!

We searched online for a photographer and found Andrea. After looking at his gorgeous portfolio, we decided to book him for the day. We could not have been happier from start to finish. Andrea approached the whole day with enthusiasm and humor, and we felt comfortable right away. It felt like having a friend who grew up in the area show you around. We ended up exploring little nooks we never would have found on our own. We spent all day together, and he was so patient, always asking how we were doing and if our feet were OK, even stopping for a celebratory spritz at a little cafe! Our adventure culminated in a gondola ride at sunset (which we highly recommend) Then we saw the pictures...WOW! All of our expectations were completely exceeded. He gave us every photo in color and black and white, and we received them soon after returning from our trip. Every single shot was fantastic, and he edited the day beautifully. Looking at the roll is like re-experiencing one of the best days of our trip. We HIGHLY recommend Andrea. It was such a special experience, and we have amazing photos that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

Here's what a friend of mine and his Wife had to say about Marco Secchi, a professional…read morephotographer who also offers photo tours of Venice. THE BEST TOUR!!! BLEW OUR MINDS!!! A somewhat pricey tour, but a private tour with a famous photographer. He took to the secret spot in Venice and helped us to navigate through the Venetian maze. He taught us history of Venice and took us to very picturesque locations and gave us pointers on how to capture pieces of Venice to enjoy for a lifetime. Marco is an Italian, English speaking, professional photographer who specializes in editorial, features and portrait photography. He's based in London often in Venice and travels worldwide. On the strength of all this high praise (TripAdvisor has many positive reviews too), I paid the $260 and signed Gayle and me up for the 3-hour photo tour on the day we arrived back from Venice after our Cruise. It was a splurge, but what better way to see Venice than through these eyes? Marco is a great communicator and seems like a really swell guy. My sign-up (through his web site and Paypal) was effortless and he followed up personally and quickly via email. Unfortunately, the Paypal refund while we were on the Cruise was also made promptly. There was a death in the family and he had to leave Venice on the day of our appointment. He followed-up personally and apologized profusely. Of course I understood, yet this was easily was the biggest disappointment of our entire Italy trip. As a consolation "prize", I bought Marco's book (The great guide of Venice: In the footsteps of Canaletto and the Venetian Masters) and he got me a good deal on his signature camera bag (crafted by Marina de Grandis). I also have to believe that someday Gayle and I will get another chance to engage the professional photographic skills of Marco Secchi.
