Amazing and Iconic Views!

We had an incredible...

kiran_k, Jul 2026

We had an incredible experience with our photographer, Ishti, in Rome! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make sure we had beautiful photos and an enjoyable experience. We were traveling with three young children (ages 5, 4, and 2), and despite the summer heat and a few cranky toddler moments, he was endlessly patient, kind, and so great with our girls. He took his time, found creative ways to keep them engaged, and worked hard to capture both beautiful family portraits and individual shots of each of us. The photos are memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re visiting Rome—especially if you’re short on time—this is such a wonderful way to see some of the city’s iconic spots while creating lasting memories. We couldn’t recommend him more!

Great Photo Session with Ishti

Svetlana_P, Jul 2026

Our photo shoot with Ishti was amazing! He was incredibly flexible, patiently waited for us, and made the whole experience super easy. We ended up with fabulous photos — so quick, so accommodating, and truly friendly throughout. Highly recommend!

Ishti was absolutely...

Taylor_L, Jun 2026

Ishti was absolutely wonderful to work with! We haven’t received the edited photos yet, but just seeing little snippets on the camera as we went, I know they are going to be so so good. My husband and I decided on this pretty last minute and had a wonderful time. Ishti provided posing suggestions, gave fun facts about the Roman Forum as we walked through, and let us suggest some poses as well! 10/10 recommend

Fun and professional photoshoot

Cory_N, Jun 2026

We had an amazing time taking photos across Rome. Ishti was very professional and recommended tons of great poses capturing the amazing views of the colosseum, Pantheon, and more. He was also helpful in working with us on different ideas for angles and backgrounds. Bonus that he was a good guide and gave us some quick background on the history of the sites as we went.

Professional photography...

Judy_S, Jun 2026

Professional photography cannot be replaced by the I phone. Fabulous pictures of the Colisseum and Roman forum. Perfect way to capture our memorable trip to Rome.

Do the Photo Shoot!!

Dina_G, May 2026

We are definitely not supermodels or celebrities, but Ishti sure made us look like we are! He was very friendly, patient & came up with some great photo ideas that came out superbly! He's been doing this "for money" (his words, lol) for about 5 yrs, but is going to school to be an architect. I highly recommend him & encourage anyone who would like to have their photos done professionally, please ask for Ishtiaque Ahmed. I even purchased the extra photos that didn't come with the package sight unseen, I'm so confident that they'll be just as good!

1 year anniversary

Rajneet_B, May 2026

Thanks Ishti for a wonderful photography experience. My husband and did a photoshoot for our 1 year marriage anniversary. Ishti knew all the perfect spots for photos. The photos turned out great.

Great photographer

Jonathan_S, May 2026

Ishti made our experience in Rome much more memorable. We did a 7AM photoshoot to beat the crowds and get the best light. Ishti helped us navigate thru the photos and had great suggestions for places where to shoot. We were thoroughly satisfied with his work and delivery time. Coincidentally we ran into him around town the next day and he even offered to take some pics with our phone. He is a great guy and definitely great to work with.

Photos are the best souvenirs

Katie_C, May 2026

Ishti did a great job directing us on how we should pose and knew the best spots to go in close proximity to get some great photo memories. He was very knowledgeable and told us about the city and things we were passing by along the way. We would definitely book with him again in the future.

My partner and I wanted...

Devi_K, May 2026

My partner and I wanted to get a photoshoot done while we were in Rome and we had the best time with our photographer! He was very kind and knowledgeable for the best places to take photos around the area! The pictures turned out wonderfully and we highly recommend to anyone that is considering getting a shoot done.

Wonderful Experience in Rome

Jeneen_C, May 2026

This was our first experience with professional portraits, and having them done in Rome made it even more special. Ishti was incredibly patient, guided us through a variety of poses with creativity and ease, and took us to multiple beautiful locations. He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire session. We’re truly grateful for his talent, professionalism, and kindness.

Great experience

YouJin_L, Apr 2026

Ishti was our photographer and took us (family of 6) to a few different spots that we otherwise wouldn’t have known. He was patient and gave posing ideas throughout the photoshoot, making our parents feel comfortable. The photos look beautiful. Great memories!

Great Experience

ELIZA_F, Dec 2025

Great Experience! Very professional! On time, loved the spots! Highly recommended. Did it for my baby moon.

We booked a photographer...

gloria_a, Nov 2025

We booked a photographer during our trip to Rome and ended up really enjoying the whole session. It felt easy from the start, and the posing tips were simple and actually helpful. Nothing felt stiff or awkward. We spent most of the time walking around, chatting and laughing, which made everything feel natural. When we got the photos back, they looked even better than we hoped. The colors, the little moments and the way the city showed up in the background all worked together. It turned into one of our favorite parts of the trip, and we’re glad we decided to do it.

A photoshoot to remember!

Carole_W, Nov 2025

This was definitely a fun experience! Ishti our photographer was so kind and professional. He has an amazing eye so the pics were easy and efficient. He took us to many different locations and allowed for an outfit change halfway. We had a 90-minute time slot so we could have done more, but we got so many amazing pictures in about an hour. He worked magic around crowds, construction, and the setting sun. Highly recommend Ishti!

Ishti was terrific...

Jacob_S, Nov 2025

Ishti was terrific leading us through our photography tour around Rome! The photos he took of us were beautiful, he helped pose us and was patient and kind throughout. We highly recommend him!

Huyen_P, Sep 2025

He is so friendly, talented, and professional. It was raining on the time we scheduled the photoshoot, we reached out to him the night before, and no hesitation, he reschedule for us the different time. We love our pictures so much. Thank you Ishti.

Must do!!

Jennifer_B, Sep 2025

Would absolutely recommend! This was a gift to my mom, and she will cherish these pictures forever! Our photographer was kind, helpful, and took the most amazing pictures! Very grateful!

Absolutely Breathtaking Photos – A Dream Come True!

Alyssa_K, Sep 2025

We are completely blown away by the photos from our private shoot — they are beyond stunning! I honestly don’t even have the words to fully express how beautiful they turned out. Every single image feels like it belongs in a magazine or on the wall of a gallery. Our photographer was not only incredibly talented but also so professional, kind, and easy to work with. They made us feel totally comfortable from the very beginning and knew exactly how to capture the perfect angles, lighting, and candid moments. Their eye for detail and creativity is unmatched. What we ended up with is more than just a collection of pictures — it’s a set of timeless memories that we’ll treasure forever. The editing was flawless, the locations were perfect, and the entire experience felt effortless and fun. If you're considering booking a private photographer — do it, and book this one! You will not regret it. These photos are something we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.

Rome Private Photoshoot

Amanda_D, Sep 2025

Ishti was very professional and kind. He communicated in advance of our photoshoot to help us have a good understanding of what to expect. He helped us with poses and was great at getting our two year old daughter to engage and have fun while taking the photos. His patience when she needed to stop for a snack was so appreciated. We would highly recommend Ishti if you’re wanting photos taken!!

Capturing memories of a lifetime Iconic Photo Shoot Rome

Ursula_D, Aug 2025

I opted to have a different experience of my time in Rome and decided to go for the iconic Photo Shoot which turned out so much fun! Ischti was the photographer. Capturing memories outside the Colosseum and Forum while walking and experiencing Rome was like a dream. Ishti was very professional and made me feel right at ease while giving me suggestions and ideas. He also edited the photos and send it to me as agreed within two days. Excellent job done.
