Memories for a lifetime! - BELLISIMO! There aren’t enough superlatives to describe our experience with Venezia Photography. Osvaldo is a skilled photographer, but beyond that he is engaging, warm and shares his love for Venice in such a memorable way. Our sunrise photo shoot with him was the highlight of our trip, and he captured moments which we will treasure for a lifetime. If you have the opportunity this is a must while in Venice!

Looking back on our experience - After returning from our trip nine months ago, my wife and I reflected on our time in Venice and the photo session that we did with Osvaldo was the thing that stood out in our mind has been the most memorable part of the city of Venice. We loved how relaxed he was, and granted it was early to get up that day, but looking back on it, it was worth all the effort. Thank you Osvaldo !

Amazing pictures and experience - What an amazing experience and in one day we already saw several of our amazing photos. Do not miss out on this fantastic experience to have professional pictures taken and to see lesser known parts of Venice.

Doesn't get better than Osvaldo - Osvaldo's work is amazing! I have high expectations and he exceeded them all. He's got an eye for great photos (works well with kids, too!) and knows all of the perfect photo spots around Venice. He was practically our tour guide, too, showing us the great spots around the city and offering restaurant recommendations. Highly, highly recommend!

Amazing photos - I am so glad we decided to have these photos done. My husband and I have never done professional photos together and we are not super comfortable in front of the camera, but Osvaldo did a fantastic job directing us and letting our personalities come out. He was so quick getting pictures back to us and they turned out amazing! Everyone I’ve shown them to has been so impressed. This is such a special keepsake from our time in Venice.

Best Choice We Made! - Osvaldo was amazing. So friendly, sarcastic, and great with making both of us very comfortable. He is a naturally friendly local who is definitely a professional. You can tell he has been doing this for a while. Wouldn’t have wanted photos done by anyone else!

Outstanding Photographer - Osvaldo was very pleasant to work with. He made us feel very comfortable during our shoot. He was welcoming and friendly, and walking around Venice with him felt like spending time with an old friend. He was also very knowledgeable about the city, taking us to less crowded places for photos and sight seeing. His recommendations and tips for the city were great! When you’re in town, I’d highly recommend booking Osvaldo for a photo shoot - you won’t regret it! The photos are amazing, and we now have those memories to cherish!
