From the guide

Immortalize your time in Venice with this photoshoot in an iconic gondola. Relax as your photographer snaps photos as you sail the city's waterways with your family, friends, or on your own. Receive your photos within 48 hours of your photoshoot.

Meet outside Cafe Florian and be led around San Marco before embarking upon a gondola journey through the canals. After your ride, you'll spend more time on land for some final shots!

Ensuring that every laugh, every smile, and every loving glance is preserved in a natural and unposed manner. Be guided to the best locations for your photoshoot by someone who has an intimate knowledge of Venice's most charming spots.

Embrace the canals, the bridges, and the magic and avoid letting these precious memories fade away with blurry selfies. After the photoshoot, a skilled editing team meticulously refines each image, enhancing the colors, contrasts, and details, while preserving the authenticity of the moment.

You'll never forget this moment!
