Dolomites Surprise Proposal
It was my second time photographing at Seceda Pass, this incredible place to watch and feel the mountains of Val Gardena. I knew it wasn't the easiest of destinations, not so much because of the difficulty of the hike and the cold, but because of the length of time and costs involved. But the reward of the unique landscape and views that the place offers is certainly worth the effort, which makes it very popular.
When Heldon contacted me and immediately confirmed his interest in proposing, we agreed on a date and time. What struck me was that he sent me photos and a map of the place, even though I already knew exactly where he wanted to propose. I thought that was great, because it was certainly a spot with a spectacular view and no people passing by.
Obviously I was delighted to be able to record this moment for them and at the same time enjoy the view and the atmosphere.
Venice in black and white
Engagement in Venice for her birthday
After so many dry weeks since Christmas the change in the weather with more cloudy days brought some hope for rain. For us photographers this is usually not good news.
I had Georgia and Luca's photo shooting booked only 1 day in advance and as it was a gift for her birthday. It could be not rescheduled.
Fortunately it did not rain, but it was quite cloudy, which makes it difficult to show the full potential of Venice's colors.
Not less interesting, I was able to work the photos with a more dramatic tone that works very well to reveal the romanticism of a couple in love.
After delivering the photos I had the idea of working on a small selection completely in black and white. I hope you enjoy!
Proposal in Venice on a traditional Venetian gondola
Alina & Nathan, from USA at their engagement travel in Italy
As soon as I started working as a surprise wedding proposal photographer I knew it was always going to be a challenge. Although it's not always 100% surprise, as the fiancee already expects that during that trip, at some point the proposal will happen, I always need to treat the situation as being a surprise.
When Nathan hired me to photograph his proposal he told me he would like it to be in a gondola in Venice. He and Alina are North Americans. I am always curious how the guy manages to hide the little box with the engagement ring during the trip. I had already photographed requests in the gondola, but always together with the couple, which makes the surprise even more difficult. This time we agreed that I would follow the route from outside and photograph along the canals and bridges of Venice. It was a different and very rewarding experience, as I was able to offer different photos than usual.
How about to photograph at 7am?
Engagement session in Florence, Tuscany at 7am
Today I came here just to remember a very nice couple that I photographed in Florence. I've met so many travellers from Asia who come to spend their holidays in Italy and ask for a photo shooting. And with the pandemic and travel restrictions I end up missing so much these dear ones who shared great experiences with me.
When Roberta spoke to me she asked that we do the photos early in the morning to avoid the large number of tourists near the Duomo di Firenze. I love shooting at this time of the day because the light is fantastic. If one day you have the opportunity, wherever you are, don't miss it!
And if you come to Italy, I will be happy to photograph at 7am in Florence, Rome, Venice or any other destination you choose.

A lovely surprise from US
I had dealt with the photo shooting with a client named Michelle. It was a family shooting through the streets of Florence. Then on the day of the photos she sent me a message saying there would be a surprise proposal from her son, Patton, for his girlfriend. It was a lovely surprise that I am pleased to present to you.
Photoshoot in Milan
Our first photoshoot in Milan, at the Duomo
A few days ago we did the first photo shooting in Milan. Last year we had photographed a wedding. And it was very different from the other cities here in Italy. Undoubtedly, Milan is the least "rustic" city, comparing in terms of architecture with Venice, Florence and Rome. Not less attractive for a vacation photographer who seeks a good background on every wall whatever the city. The Arch of Peace is a very imposing monument, and a few steps from Sempione Park, great for those who like photos with a bit of green, nature, lake ...
Going towards the Duomo, we pass by the charming quarter of Brera, with shops and restaurants that lend some of the picturesque Italian air away from the modernity around. If we are lucky or have time to wait for one of the classic yellow buses on the rails we will have a very iconic photo.
After all this there are still two of the main points of the city, the Duomo and the Vittorio Emanuele Gallery. In those hours it is good to let the imagination work to obtain original photos and that show the greatness and majesty of this cathedral.

Honeymoon Photo Session in Florence
An american couple in honeymoon on the streets of Florence
Portraying people on travelloing was not an idea when I started working with photography. But really, being in a Country that holds much of Unesco's world heritage, and in a city that breathes the Renaissance, it was not surprising the tourist appeal that has Florence. Then the requests for travel photos began to appear, and it was amazing from the outset to imagine the compositions that could make with this wealth of scenarios.
The biggest challenge for anyone who had never studied English was the language. And it still is, as you can see by the failures of my text. Fortunately, photography has its own language and does not need to be fully narrated. And Emilee and Mark, a couple of Americans, collaborated a lot for their honeymoon session. We walked through the streets of Florence without pretension of obligatory places and monuments, we just defined some points along the way to take as a sweet memory of your trip.
Nicole & Jean - Engagement Session Toscana
Ho ricevuto il contatto di Nicole attraverso un amico fotografo, Leandro. Lei stava per sposarsi in Brasile e volevano fare le foto in Italia, dove sarebbe la luna di miele. Ho definito con Nicole i dettagli di quanto atteso per questo momento e abbiamo programmato un breve tour attraverso la Val d'Orcia, le Crete Senesi e, infine, Firenze.
Molto più che paesaggi incantevoli, questi sono stati momenti piacevoli e rilassati, che hanno prodotto alcune foto che possiamo vedere in questo slideshow. Grazie, Nicole e Jean! Congratulazioni e tanto amore!
Sara & Yu Ri | Foto di coppia a Firenze
Servizio fotografico di coppia a Firenze
Quando siamo in una città con un forte appeal turistico incontriamo persone provenienti da varie parti del mondo. Sara e Yu Ri sono svizzeri, ma hanno i loro rapporti con l'Italia. E siamo stati fortunati a fotografarli con queste paesaggi sul'Arno e sul Ponte Vecchio a Firenze.
