Excellent photos and service! - Osvaldo was wonderful! He was very accommodating with a later start time based on jet lag. My 17 year old daughter had her senior photos taken in the most lovely areas of Venice. Osvaldo also took pics of our family and made sure everyone was included! I don’t have my digital prints yet but he showed us the photos as he took them and they looked amazing! I can’t wait to get my print! I would highly recommend Osvaldo to anyone traveling to Venice!

Perfect from start to finish! - PERFECT ! Venice is a wonderful city and capturing a few photos with your lover or family seems like an obvious choice. You can 100% trust Osvaldo who beyond his professionalism has real talent as a photographer. You will return with a head full of memories and with photos as sublime as the ones he presents to you on his site. We chose the sunrise option and we didn't regret it because the streets were almost deserted and it allowed us to appreciate the city in a completely different way. Bravo for this excellent work Osvaldo and a big thank you!

Yes, you should do it! - Right out the gate I will say 10/10 would recommend, if you are hesitating this is definitely a must do! Not only you will get pictures that last a lifetime, but the memories and the good time will also be to remember. The photographer is wonderful. He is extremely nice and knowledgeable, about photography and the city, he really knows how to make you feel comfortable. This experience in the end was much more than a photo shoot, it is something that my wife and I will remember forever!

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.
