Fabulous experience! We learned so much about the city, got a ton of recommendations to do in Venice and the surrounding area, and left with beautiful memories we will cherish forever. If you're on the fence about if you should book we say do it!

A great way to capture your time in Venice

Osvaldo was a wonderful photographer. He worked with us, and took us to several areas to get different feels of Venice. He moved quickly to make the most of our hour. The previews were fantastic, I'm sure the rest will be even better. Great unique experience to do, highly recommend for your memories.

Operator response

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed the photos. Venice has many different moods, and I always aim to show my clients both the iconic landmarks and some hidden gems in Venezia, even in a one-hour session. It was a pleasure capturing these memories for you. Best, Osvaldo.

You must book this! Best pictures you will have on your trip.

These photographs are simply incredible. Osvaldo is a master of setting and then likely using technology to edit out unwanted intrusions. The pictures he took of our family are truly treasures. Venice is beautiful. I cannot think of a better setting for family photographs. Osvaldo captured the drama of the city and the best of our family. This review is a small thank you.

Operator response

Thank you so much! 😊 I’m delighted the family photos and Venice’s charm shone through—your family’s warmth made every shot special.

Venice anniversary photoshoot

Had such an amazing photography session today with my wife and Osvaldo. From the moment we started, he made us feel completely at ease and was so patient throughout. He really knows all the best spots and angles, and guided us perfectly to get the best shots. It never felt rushed, and he took the time to make sure every picture was just right. We had a great time and the whole experience felt natural and enjoyable. Osvaldo is a true professional, and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure spending the morning with you both, exploring Venice and capturing moments in its most beautiful corners. I’m glad the session felt relaxed and natural, that’s always my goal. Wishing you wonderful memories of your time here and hoping Venice will see you again soon.

Senior pictures early morning

We did senior portraits for my son and they turned out fantastic. Osvaldo was kind and professional and made us feel comfortable. We received our entire gallery in 1 day. We are so happy to have these memories captured for us.

Amazing experience!

Osvaldo was very nice and easy to talk to. I normally don't like having my picture taken but he was so good at direction and making me feel comfortable that I ended up really enjoying myself. It was a good way to see the city too and get tips from a local. While waiting for the gondola we had some coffee and pastries at a local shop and it was divine. I will definitely hire him again for family photos later this year!

Operator response

Thank you so much! I'm really happy to hear you felt comfortable during the shoot—it's always my goal to make the experience enjoyable, especially for those who usually avoid the camera. Exploring Venice with a coffee and a few laughs is always the best way to capture real moments. I look forward to seeing you again for your next visit with the family!

Stunning Memories Worth Every Penny

We had a wonderful experience with Osvaldo in Venice! He was highly professional and creative, with a great eye for capturing Venice’s iconic spots. He knew exactly where to take us for the best shots and gave fantastic guidance on posing, which was especially helpful for us with our height differences (5ft1 and 6ft4). The photos were worth every penny—beautiful keepsakes that we’ve shared with family and will treasure as memories. If you want truly stunning photos to remember your time in Venice, Osvaldo is the way to go!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure working with you both, and I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed the experience and the photos. I’m glad my guidance helped capture the perfect shots. Venice has so many iconic spots, and I’m happy we could create beautiful memories together. Wishing you both all the best, and I hope to see you in Venice again someday! Warm regards, Osvaldo
