My photo session experience with Jeff was fantastic. From start to finish, everything was seamless, professional, and enjoyable. The photographer made me feel comfortable right away and offered great direction while still allowing natural moments to shine through. The final photos exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a talented and professional photographer while visiting Rome, I highly recommend booking a session with Jeff.

Sara did an amazing job. As someone who is not good at posing, socially awkward, etc, she was so patient with her coaching. My photos came back phenomenal. This was one of the best experiences that I booked in Rome. I would recommend this service to everyone.

      Thank you so much for this lovely review. I’m really happy you felt comfortable during the shoot, especially since posing didn’t come naturally at first. That’s exactly what I aim for—creating a relaxed, supportive space where you can truly shine. I’m so glad you loved the final photos and that this experience became one of your favorites in Rome. Thank you for your trust and recommendation. Sara Eidos Photography | Rome Photographer

      Professional photos at a great price!

      Angeline_K, Nov 2025
      Jeff is wonderful! With 12+ years of experience in professional photography, he made the session fun & comfortable. He was very flexible with scheduling and spent extra time with us taking wedding pictures at the Colosseum & Capitol Hill. Even though it was very crowded in Rome on a Wednesday morning, Jeff edited people out of our pictures. Our photos looked GREAT!!! We will definitely use him again when we are in Rome!

      Response from Host, Nov 2025

      Thank you so much for choosing me for your wedding photos in Rome! I loved capturing your session around the Colosseum and Capitoline Hill, and I’m glad the edits and people removal worked so well. It means a lot that you’d book Eidos Photography again as your Rome photographer. — Jeff

      Choosed him out of all the photographers around rome, hoping to get some nice pictures to remember our time there. He didn't just matched our expectations, he was even much better! We had so much fun at the photoshoot and got some amazing results to share with everyone. We are so thankful for him and his work and can highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for amazing memorizable photos to share with family, friends and the world.

      So Worth It!

      Heather_W, Aug 2025
      We were not sure what to expect with a family photoshoot on vacation but we were absolutely thrilled with how it went. Jeff knew all the best spots for a good background and how to minimize the impact of the crowd. He was also so patient with our son when he was tired and not wanting to smile. We do family pictures every year but this was one of our best sessions ever and our favorite souvenir from vacation. HIGHLY recommend Eidos if your visiting Rome.

      Response from Host, Aug 2025

      Thank you so much for this heartwarming review! It was a joy to photograph your family photoshoot near the Colosseum and help you create beautiful vacation memories. I’m so glad the little one felt at ease — patience and connection are everything when working with kids. At Eidos Photography, we always aim to find the best angles, light, and quiet corners so families can simply enjoy the moment. Hearing that this was one of your favorite sessions truly means the world to me. Hope to welcome you back to Rome again! — Jeff, Rome photographer | Eidos Photography

      Amazing experience

      Kenia_E, Mar 2025
      He was amazing! We had to reschedule our initial time due to weather and he was very flexible and understanding as I was traveling with kids. Our photographer was very nice and great with my kids. The pictures turned out amazing, I am so glad we took the time to do this. Highly recommend!

      Positive Experience!

      Jayne_S, Mar 2025
      Our photographer Jeff was absolutely amazing. He reached out to confirm our shoot a day before and also suggested locations that would be better for the shoot. He was incredibly nice, gave directions for poses and we did not feel rushed! We also got to see parts of Rome that we didn't get a chance to see while touring Rome. It was overall a wonderful experience. Our photos did arrive 48hrs after our shoot!
