        TIMELESS PORTRAITURE IN THE WORLD'S MOST ROMANTIC CITY

        I am here to guide you to a peaceful, romantic experience, helping you get past the surface of Venice.

        You can have photographs that truly tell your story - and make you feel like you are part of this ineffable magic.

        If you want dreamy, romantic, fine art imagery

        plus a well-organized and executed process,

        you are in the right place.

        Here you can find everything you need to know about your photoshoot in Venice:

        A photoshoot in Venice is more than a service—it’s an experience. Whether you’re capturing a once-in-a-lifetime trip, building your brand, or simply celebrating yourself or your loved ones, this is where storytelling and style meet.

        Every session is tailored with care—from wardrobe to location, light to mood—so that every frame feels intentional and unforgettable.

        Perfect for:

        - Solo travelers and creative portraits

        - Luxury vacation keepsakes

        - Families and multi-generational travel

        - Surprise proposals and elopements

        - Editorial fashion shoots

        - Content creators and personal branding

        Couple photoshoot in Venice between Piazza San Marco, Arsenale, Castello

        No need to worry about posing, lighting, where to go or how to dress.

        I’ll guide you from start to finish to ensure a relaxed, confident, and luxurious shoot —while you enjoy the beauty and magic of Venice.

        What You’ll Receive:

        - private photography session starting at 1 hour, typically up to 3 hours (or more)

        - fully personalized location planning and styling consultation

        - gentle, natural direction and posing throughout the shoot

        - high-resolution, hand-edited images delivered via an online gallery within a week

        - optional upgrades: gondola ride, watertaxi, proposal planning, vendors booking (hair & make-up, flowers, etc.)

        As a fine art photographer with a passion for editorial photoshoots, I am always looking to tell a story, and to tell it with a sparkle of magic. Or as I like to say: with visual poetry.

        Storytelling is a mix of emotions, details, locations and intimacy.

        In order for me to tell your story in a way that is unique to you, I need to get to know you a little. Knowing your story helps the creation process. I will always offer to have a coffee together before or after our photo session, if we don’t have time to talk before you come to Venice.

        What is it that makes you uniquely you? What are your passions and what are you looking to find in Venice?

        Photography is an extraordinary medium to evoke and ignite emotions. A combination of images communicates even more than one single photo. Everything you tell me will be used as a starting point to build a visual storytelling that is cinematic, intense, and emotional. This is my editorial approach: I use all of the elements (your dress, a guitar, a book, a special location…anything that makes sense) to build a story that feels like you.

        I will guide you and help you interact with the camera at all times. My promise is that I will never deliver a photograph if I feel that the photo didn’t capture you at your best.

        Best-photo-spots-in-Venice

        Photoshoots in Venice, especially couple photoshoots, can sometimes feel contrived, cookie-cutter, and uninspired. Same poses, same locations - you sometimes feel like no photographer really gets under the surface.

        As an editorial photographer, I work creatively to inspire and evoke emotions. I know that photoshoots could be so much more than what I see around. I dreamt bigger.

        Hiring me for your Venice Italy photoshoot means abandoning the crowd, trying a different approach, and going further and deeper into your own feelings, your story, creating something artful, inspired, something that feels like you.

        You have the starting elements: Venice as your background and your story - be it a love story, a family story, a personal adventure. To create an unforgettable photography session made of magazine-worthy images you need something more.

        - Getting to know you
        - STYLING

        Knowing who you are and what brings you to Venice is essential for me to capture a deeper level and give intimacy to the photographs. We can chat on a video call when you book me. Once you share something about you, I can more easily plan where to bring you and what elements of Venice and Italian life you want to include in the pictures - maybe you are a coffee expert and we’ll make sure to stop and photograph you in the oldest café in the whole world (yes, it is in Venice!). With a little preparation beforehand, you are able to truly be in the moment, and the photographs will show it.

        One of the most important elements in a photography session is fashion. This is a unique occasion and you want to feel at your best. Hair and make-up, as much as choosing the perfect dress (or dresses) can be an incredibly creative experience. A photoshoot in Venice is an out-of-the-ordinary experience, a treat to yourself, so let’s do our best to create something special. Expressing yourselves with a special and coordinated wardrobe brings an editorial look to your images. You can choose one dress you love, or we can change outfits and play with fashion.

        - PROPS & extra elements
        - AUTHENTICITY

        During your photoshoot in Venice I go out of my way to ensure you’re comfortable. I love to create space for playful interactions and absolute freedom. Because when you’re comfortable, you can just be yourself. And that’s when the real photography magic happens.

        The images feel full of life and adventure, and you feel like living in a dream.

        Although they are not absolutely necessary, props can really enhance and breathe life into a photoshoot. Make sure they relate to your interests or are meaningful in some way to you. You can bring something from home such as a special book, a postcard, a handwritten romantic note... Other elements can be a gondola, water taxi, or special locations such as a museum. Additional ideas can be activities such as making pasta in Venice…the possibilities are endless. 

        The best time of the year to take photographs in Venice is...anytime!

        • Winter in Venice: you have incredible colors both at sunset and sunrise: orange, pink, intense yellow. It is also a less touristic time of the year, so the city feels like it is yours to experience. The fog creates incredible landscapes and a soft light that feels magical in pictures.
        • Spring in Venice: spring has a variable weather, but the light is softer and the colors are vivid. You could have a magical rainy day or the strongest Italian sunshine to enjoy with your Aperol spritz in Piazza San Marco.
        • Summer in Venice: summer gives you the best options and when you wake up early for a shoot, you know you will have the best light possible.
        • Autumn in Venice: I personally love the warm colors of Autumn in Venice, and the good temperatures that usually include all of October.

        The best time of the day to take photographs in Venice is either at sunrise or sunset

        When it comes to choosing between sunrise and sunset, there is another important point to consider

        SUNRISE PHOTOSHOOT IN VENICE

        Venice-Italy-Photoshoot-Camilla-M-Photographer
        If you choose a sunrise photoshoot, I recommend meeting as soon as the sun starts to rise, or a little later if that is way too early.

        For example sunrise in Venice on May 4th is 5:55 am, but meeting at 6:30 works perfectly.

        A sunrise photoshoot in Venice means that the light is soft and dreamy, and the city is empty.

        Silence, peace. The streets are quiet.

        It will feel like living in a dream where the city of Venice is ours. We wander around the city enjoying every moment. And we easily take photographs at the most iconic locations. Then we can end our photoshoot in the most Italian way: a typical Venetian morning breakfast with a croissant and a cappuccino. I love to take a little extra time to get to know you, your story and your thoughts on Venice. I will be then able to tell your story both with pictures and words on my website (if you are happy with it, of course).

        SUNSET PHOTOSHOOT IN VENICE

        For sunset sessions, I advise we meet 2 hours before the sun completely sets. Once the sun really sets, it is too dark to photograph well both you and the landscape around you.

        The best photographs are taken a couple of hours before sunset time, with very oblique rays of light, giving a magical sense of softness and warmth.

        A sunset photoshoot in Venice showcases Venice as a city full of life and colors. The warm sunlight lights up the marble palaces on the Grand Canal, creating magical reflections on the water. This is a perfect time to take a moment alone with a gondola ride within the smaller canals. The warm glow will soothe you and make you feel like you are part of all the magic. Sunset in Venice means end of the day relax, aperitivo time, Aperol Spritz al fresco cuddled by some of the best views in the world.

        From the most iconic, world-famous spots, such as Piazza San Marco and Rialto, to hidden courtyards, and silent canals in the most remote neighborhoods- every location is chosen to reflect your style and story.

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.

        SOMETHING ABOUT ME

        My name is Camilla and I am your photographer in Venice

        Before we meet in person, it is important for you to get a sense of who I am. Why I do what I do, and why I am your best partner in your traveling adventure in Venice.

        Way before I started working as a photographer, I was (and still am) an avid traveler. Born with all of the wanderlust in the world, fueled by National Geographics and eclectic travel books. I wanted to travel so much I insisted on winning a scholarship with AFS to study in South America at 17.

        Even before that, I had traveled all around Europe with my sister. We took a lot of trains and we felt very much at home anywhere in Europe.

        Camìlla M Wedding and Elopement Photographer in Venice Italy

        When I started my BA in Venice, I traveled less but I kept on connecting with travelers, offering them a couch, a bed, a coffee, and showing them around Venice, just for the fun of it.

        I had the chance to learn all about a new country and a new person. And they got a chance to see what it is like to live in Venice. It was a way for me to keep on traveling, while staying in the city where I was born.

        Now that I am a professional photographer in Venice, I feel like I hit the jackpot: I get to do something that I love, create photographic memories, while I also get to know you and your story.

        Camìlla M Wedding and Elopement Photographer in Venice Italy

        If you are looking for a photoshoot in Venice Italy, I am your person. I want to create a space for you to feel at home in Venice and keep some of the magic with you. I want to help you create sweet memories of love, in a city that captures you with its beauty.
