Why book a local photographer

Venice without the crowds

I live here. In July I start your session at sunrise, when St Mark’s is empty and the light is already right. In November I schedule a later start, with winter light and the occasional morning mist. You get the city, not the queue.

You know the price before you write

Every package has a fixed price and a fixed number of edited photos. No “starting from” surprises — the full price list is right on this page.

Nothing to lose

You pay online to secure your date, and it’s 100% refundable up to 24 hours before the session. If it rains a little, it can be beautiful in photos! In case of heavy rain, we’ll reschedule if possible.

One trip. One chance at the photos.

You get one trip to Venice. The photos either happen or they don’t — and phone self-portraits on a crowded bridge are how most people remember they didn’t. A local photographer knows where the light is at sunrise, which bridge is empty, and where to stop for the photo you’ll actually print.

Osvaldo Di Pietrantonio, photographer in Venice

Your photographer

I’m Osvaldo Di Pietrantonio, a professional photographer living in Venice. I photograph couples, proposals and families who choose Venice as their destination — editorial images, not tourist snapshots. From sunrise at St Mark’s Square to the quiet canals of Dorsoduro, I’ll guide you to the right place at the right time so you can enjoy the city while I take care of the photos.

It’s me behind the camera at every session — and me who replies to your message.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Venice photographer cost?

Photography sessions in Venice range from €350 to €900 depending on duration, locations and session type. Couple sessions start at €350 (1 hour, 40 edited photos); longer sessions are €450-650 including editing and online gallery delivery. Proposal packages start at €450.

How do we secure our date?

You pay 100% upfront by credit card, PayPal or bank transfer and your date is instantly confirmed. It’s fully refundable up to 24 hours before the session.

What happens if it rains?

If it rains a little, it can be beautiful in photos! In case of heavy rain, we’ll reschedule if possible.

What’s the best time for a Venice photoshoot?

Early morning provides the best light and fewer crowds. I recommend avoiding midday for harsh shadows, and I factor weather and seasonal crowd patterns into the schedule I suggest.

What locations are included in Venice photography sessions?

Popular locations include St. Mark’s Square, Doge’s Palace, Bridge of Sighs, quiet canals in Dorsoduro, and hidden gems in Castello. I choose the route with you based on your style, the time of day, and crowd conditions, and I know every corner of it.

Do I need permits for photography in Venice?

For personal sessions in public areas, I take care of the rules. However, certain locations like St. Mark’s Square interior or private venues may have restrictions. I handle all location research and make sure everything complies with local regulations.

How quickly will I receive my photos?

Preview photos within 48 hours, and the full edited high-resolution gallery in 5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded) via private online link — a little longer from May to September. At Carnival there is no preview and the gallery arrives in 7 business days: it’s the busiest time of the year, and I’d rather promise a date I can keep. Express delivery of the entire gallery in 24 hours is available as an extra.

Do you offer photography during Venice Carnival?

Yes — Venice Carnival sessions are available at the same prices as the rest of the year. Advance booking required due to high demand. Carnival sessions start at €350 for a one-hour session.

TESTIMONIALS

This was the happiest photography shoot we have experienced (and we've had multiple)! Osvaldo's wonderful personality made everyone in the family feel at ease. He coached us with positive feedback and created amazing images for our little family. We absolutely love the photos, and have happy memories of that day. Thank you for everything Osvaldo!

We had the most wonderful photography experience with Osvaldo. He immediately put us at ease for our shoot and used humor, kindness, and professionalism to capture the most beautiful photos. We were thrilled with the photographs and how he captured our personalities and the Venetian light and background. He knew how to give us (very non-models) direction for great results and gave us confidence. 1000% recommend, he is amazing!

Osvaldo made our photo session an unforgettable experience through historical Venice.
Each location he took us, from San Marco square to a gondola ride on the canal was magical and picturesque. Not only did he make us feel comfortable but he made us feel absolutely beautiful. Seeing the photos brought tears to my eyes. I highly recommend Osvaldo. I hope to return to Venice and use his amazing service again.

Osvaldo has an extraordinary talent for capturing light and his ability to find the perfect angles really sets him apart from others. My partner and I had seen several other photographers offering similar shoots in Venice but when we saw Osvaldo’s portfolio we knew we wanted him to take our photos and we are so glad he did. If you’re looking for a photographer to beautifully capture your time in Venice, we wholeheartedly recommend Osvaldo.

Osvaldo did an absolutely phenomenal job on our photo shoot in Venice. He made the whole process so easy, smooth, and fun. The photos turned out so stunning and we are so happy with them. He is truly very talented and it was an unforgettable moment on our trip to Italy. You will be very satisfied using Osvaldo for your Venice photoshoot!

Osvaldo was STELLAR!! We had been traveling for 15 days(with perfect weather) the morning of our shoot(first day of bad weather…rain and 60F). My wife had been looking forward to this for over a year, but she was uncomfortable, cold and disappointed with the situation. Osvaldo did all he could to keep the mood light, fun and romantic. The pictures were fabulous and his handling of the situation was professional and personable. I would highly recommend Osvaldo to anyone looking to have their memories captured for a lifetime!

Osvaldo was absolutely amazing! He is definitely a gem for catching intimacy between couples! And using the locale no matter the situation! We went when st marco was having a lot of work and not a single photo reflected that! All of them looked stunning, as someone with body confidence issues and a partner that struggles to be photographed Osvaldo made us so comfortable and really made our journey that much better!
10/10 would recommend!

The best part aswell is he loves his job, is nice to talk to, and gave some great locale recommendations for the rest of our stay!

EllisAbsolutely amazing!
