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!

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!

From the owner: This can seems a dream.... but it's the story of my life…read more.... To be born in Venice is a privilege, but it's a big luck to have a father in love with arts and a mother seamstress.. I've breathed all of this since i was a child, among the "calli" and the Venetian Palaces, and it has been the most natural thing to transform it into my work. The mesmerizing charm of Venetian Masks and Historical Costumes is the same in times. The pleasure of disguising game attracts every year countless people and hide oneself behind a mask is an irresistible attraction. A Masked Ball can be the dream of an entire life. But what's the work behind all of this? Finished my languages studies i began as employee by whom thaught me a lot, leaving me free to experiment with my first masks and costumes.. Over the years i developed my techniques and my own style. Masks have to be worn like sparkling jewels to enhance the glamourous spirit of Carnival, and the costumes, even if following the original style of their centuries, have to shine on their own light with gold, silver, cristals to make the game even more magical. I have named my Atelier "Sogno Veneziano" because to come to our city is everyone's dream, and live the misterious atmosphere of Venice is a unique experience. I like to think the best is yet to come!! Inside the Atelier you'll find a rich and always renewed collection of Costumes and Masks. You only find one of kind pieces, that has been created respecting the tradition of handwork.

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!!!

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!

From the owner: Looking for a Venice photographer who knows the city inside and out? We’re CB Photographer Venice,…read morea small team of professionals based in Venice. With over 13 years of experience, we capture authentic moments for couples visiting one of the most romantic city. We offer photography for elopements, surprise proposals, engagements, weddings, and intimate couple sessions. Whether you're planning something big or small, we focus on natural images filled with emotion, beautiful light, and a real sense of place. Our style is a mix of storytelling and portraiture—never forced, never awkward. We guide you gently when needed, but mostly we let you be yourselves. The result? Photos that feel honest, timeless, and truly yours. Venice changes with the seasons, and so does the light. That’s why we tailor every session to what works best on that specific day. We also avoid the most crowded tourist areas and take you to lesser-known spots where the magic of Venice is still alive and quiet. We speak English, Italian, and French, and we’ve worked with couples from all over the world. We’re here to make the experience stress-free, friendly, and fun—whether it’s your first time in front of a camera or you’re used to being photographed. We welcome all couples, regardless of background or identity. For us, it’s about capturing love with respect and sincerity. If you’re looking for a local Venice photographer who cares about storytelling, light, and genuine connection, we’d love to work with you.

We spent this evening with professional photographer Stefano Mazzola as he took us all over his…read moreVenice. Rather than a historical tour, this is instead a lesson in capturing natural light as it filters throughout the canals and bridges. For example, Stefano demonstrates a fantastic angle on a photograph on his camera, and then patiently assists, to be sure that you have it correct on your camera, too. I learned more about settings on my camera and why I should use one setting over another as we move around the city. Stefano would turn down an alleyway and we would pop out the other side to find another beautiful area that I would not have found on my own. We also paid for family portraits that Stefano took at several locations, too. I strongly recommend booking the photo tour with Stefano. (Also, as this is 3+ hour walking tour, please wear comfortable shoes. And remember your camera!)

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.

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!
