Renew Your Vows in Venice: A Photographer’s Perspective

There are few places in the world more timeless, romantic, and cinematic than Venice. With its quiet canals, centuries-old palaces, and light that seems painted on water, it’s no wonder that couples from across the globe choose Venice to say “I do”—again.

As a professional photographer who’s witnessed countless vow renewals in this city, I can tell you: each story is different, but the magic never fades.

Why Venice?

Whether it's your fifth anniversary or your fiftieth, Venice has a way of making the moment feel eternal. The city doesn't shout its beauty—it whispers it. You don’t need elaborate decorations. The streets, the gondolas, the golden hour light—they do the storytelling.

Two Perfect Settings: Gondola or Palace?

We offer two unique options for couples looking to renew their vows in Venice:

1. Gondola Vow Renewal Experience
Glide through quiet canals as an English-speaking officiant leads your intimate ceremony. A second gondola follows for photography and family (a must for small groups), ensuring we capture every glance, smile, and soft moment.

2. Private Palace Ceremony
Step into elegance with a ceremony inside a noble Venetian palace. It’s ideal for couples wanting a more regal, quiet atmosphere—indoors or on a private terrace overlooking the water.

Both experiences include:

  • A professional vow renewal ceremony

  • Photography throughout the experience

  • A portrait session in scenic Venice locations

  • A custom wedding certificate

  • A celebratory bottle of Prosecco

From Behind the Lens

As someone who’s photographed vow renewals from sunrise on the Grand Canal to golden-hour embraces on hidden bridges, we approach each session as a visual love letter. This is not a photoshoot—it’s a memory in the making. Our goal is to make you feel at ease, natural, and present in the moment while I quietly document the emotion and atmosphere unfolding.

A Few Tips for Couples:

  • Best Time of Day: Early morning or sunset for the most flattering light and fewer crowds.

  • Dress Comfortably but Elegantly: Venice is a walking city—opt for style with practicality (heels and cobblestones don’t get along).

  • Personalise It: Bring a letter, a quote, or even just a story to share with each other. The ceremony is yours to shape.

Let's Make It Happen

If you're dreaming of a vow renewal that’s as beautiful as your story, Venice is waiting—and I’d be honoured to capture it.

'Carnevale' Through the Lens of a Storyteller: A Photojournalistic Journey

  • Professional photography guidance to help you capture the perfect shot

  • Immerse yourself in the local culture and traditions of Italy

  • This a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to photograph one of the world's most beautiful festivals

Delve into the heart of Venice during its most enigmatic season. February's Carnevale is not merely an event; it's a narrative unfolding on the cobblestone streets, shrouded in the city's iconic mist, where every shadow and silhouette tells a story.

For a photojournalist and a seeker of stories like me, Carnevale is a feast for the senses and the camera.

In this workshop, we're moving beyond the conventional. While the vibrant costumes and masks are a spectacle, our focus lies in capturing the essence of Carnevale - the unscripted moments of madness, the pulsating energy of the streets, and the intriguing interplay of the bizarre amidst the everyday. We'll explore the narrative depth of this unique time through our lenses, employing a street and documentary photography approach to unveil the stories beneath the spectacle's surface.

Venice, in its February cloak of mystery and slight menace, offers us unparalleled backdrops for storytelling. This isn't about the portraits; it's about the stories waiting to be told, the 'unusual in the usual,' and documenting a world where every frame is a narrative in itself. Join me in capturing the soul of Carnevale, where every photograph is a chapter of Venice's winter tale.


Our tour is designed for travellers who are passionate about Venice and Italy and want to experience the vibrant colours and rich history of the Carnival. You'll have the chance to immerse yourself in the local culture and traditions while learning the art of photography from our experienced and professional guide.

During the tour, you'll have access to exclusive photography locations and get expert guidance on how to capture the perfect shot. Whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist, our tour is tailored to help you improve your skills and take home a stunning collection of photos.
