ENZO was Fantastic

Brian_C, Apr 2025

Our photographer’s name was Enzo. He showed up to the meeting point promptly (few minutes early). He was very nice, personable, and always smiling. He took us to several sites for photos for a solid hour before our scheduled Gondola ride at 9AM. The pictures turned out fantastic. The poses he suggested were perfect. I gave a five stars. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Thank you Enzo for being part of our travel memories.

Venice Photoshoot - Must Do!

Leah_B, Mar 2025

This was an amazing experience! Enzo was friendly, professional, and very easy to work with. We were able to capture all of our photos without anyone in them! We are so grateful for this experience. The photos came out exactly how we wanted them and will have them hanging in our home for many years to admire.

Lovely experience! Enzo...

Jeannie_C, Jan 2025

Lovely experience! Enzo is incredibly talented and his photos are beautiful! A wonderful way to celebrate our time in Venice! Definitely recommend!

Soecial time

Magdeli_V, Sep 2024

This was an amazing experience. Enzo is really amazing! We had a lot of fun. And the photos looks stunning

Very Special Day made Extra Special

Danny_B, Jul 2024

This is a MUST do! I’m normally not one for photos but this made our special day extra special. We can’t thank Enzo enough for the photos, the locations, and his knowledge of the City in general. We were made to feel at ease during the photos (which were sent through the next day by the way👌) and now have memories for life. A fantastic experience that immediately became the highlight of our trip. Thank you Enzo!!

30th Anniversary Vacation

Bryan_L, Jun 2024

Excellent quality photos and great location backgrounds. The photographer was very professional. Definitely highly recommend early morning photo shots due to less crowds and cooler temperatures.

Worth the time and money!

Alexander_M, Jun 2024

Enzo was very communicative as the time got closer. We were going to have rain the morning of our photo shoot and he was very willing to reschedule, but we were on a time crunch, so rescheduling wasn’t an option. He explained our options and offered us a clear umbrella that would still look nice in photos. He was also upfront about the possibility that the Gondola ride can close if the rain is too heavy, but a refund would be granted if that were the case. Luckily, we only experienced a light rain, and the umbrella was helpful in those instances. He was prompt in meeting us for our photo shoot. He also gave clear directions of what he wanted us to do for each photo, which was helpful for us, as this was our first professional photo shoot. We received approximately 85 photos within 4 hours. Overall, we were happy with the experience and felt like it was worth the time and money. We would recommend Enzo, as it is clear he enjoys what he does. He is very knowledgeable and also gives some recommendations of things to do while you’re in Venice.

Ideal photographer

Jamie_M, May 2024

Enzo was prompt and welcoming. He chose ideal spots for our shoot and made us feel at ease. Photos are absolutely stunning. The available time slot at 0830 was definitely worth it to avoid the high traffic crowds to get the best photo shots. Highly recommended.

Fantastic must do!

Barbara_M, May 2024

Fantastic! Enzo knew all the best locations and the photos were better than we could hope for. We got them the very next day! So happy we did this!!

Best photographer !

Melanie_B, Apr 2024

Had the absolute BEST experience with Enzo, the photographer. He was prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable about Venice; in fact, he is local! He made my husband and I feel so at ease during our photoshoot! On top of that, photos were delivered the same day and were stunning! Best vacation keepsake ever! So glad we found Enzo on Viator! Highly recommend if you are looking for a professional photographer to heighten your Venice experience :)

Fabulous photographer and a wonderful experience!

Jessica_T, Sep 2023

Absolutely wonderful experience! The gondola ride was beautiful and romantic. Enzo was fun to talk to and put us at ease. We loved the whole experience and will cherish the photos for the rest of our lives!

Fantastic Way to See Venice with Photographer

Robert_I, Jul 2023

Enzo is amazing!! He was a fantastic guide and photographer for our tour around the city on foot and in the gondola. Not to mention we had our boots back in a few hours to view. I would highly recommend Enzo!!

A Must Do!

Kathy_V, Jun 2023

Enzo, our photographer was very impressive! His constant communication through the app leading up to our session and professionalism was definitely appreciated. You can see and feel how passionate he is about what he does. My husband and I have been married for 35 years and this made us feel like we were on our honeymoon. Enzo is a native of the city and took us to the most intimate areas to capture the feel and heart of Venice. Thank you, Enzo for the everlasting photos and memories. This was truly the highlight of my visit to Italy!

Absolutely amazing and unforgettable experience!

Param_P, Jun 2023

My girlfriend (now fiancée) and I visited Venice from 9th - 13th June 2023. I had planned to propose to her on a gondola in the middle of Venice on the 11th. I spoke with Enzo a few weeks prior to arriving to ensure he understood my requirements, which was specifically a private setting (without crowds and in a quaint calm canal) as my girlfriend doesn’t like being the centre of attention. Enzo kindly accommodated to all my requests. He assured me that he would take us to spectacular areas without the hustle and bustle, and without the crowds of hundreds of people, whilst still having the beautiful scenes I required. As the proposal was a surprise, I asked Enzo if he could kindly act as our tour guide as a disguise, so my girlfriend wouldn’t suspect a thing. He played along with my request completely naturally. He took us to the most beautiful canals, quiet and peaceful with stunning architectural settings and bridges. When the moment came, Enzo pretended to show me a photograph on his camera and whispered to me that the moment coming up would be the perfect time to get down on the knee. And that’s when I did it. Enzo captured the moment beautifully and on top of that, took us around Venice to ensure we got spectacular shoots in the after shoot. He was so good that he knew all the perfect secluded spots in an extremely busy city. Even when there were certain spots he wasn’t happy with (because of lighting) he would make us go to another spot, simply to ensure we got the best out of the experience. I cannot recommend Enzo highly enough. He is an exceptional photographer and communicator. He’s someone you can trust entirely to get what you require and more from such an experience. Both, my now fiancée and I, have constantly said if it wasn’t for Enzo, the moment and experience itself would not have been the same. Because of his help and expertise, we have beautiful shots and a memory that we will both cherish forever. Thank you so much, Enzo!!

One of best parts of our Venice Trip

Jose_C, May 2023

Enzo was wonderful, nice, and incredibly professional. They make you feel comfortable and the pictures came out gorgeous and romantic. He knew the perfect places to be and where there wouldn’t be a crowd. Definitely would recommend.

Real Fairytale!

MadelineMurtin, Nov 2022

Having spent 10 Days in Venice we thought we had seen everything. Enzo showed us hidden beauties, creating smiles that were easy and authentic! Not only did we have an amazing experience being photographed but received the finished products the next day! So happy to have been able to meet Enzo and have beautiful photos that will last a lifetime!

Venetian treasure

WIll_K, Sep 2022

Enzo was a true professional. He made us feel confident and comfortable. The photos will be lifelong memories.

Enzo will take photos you will cherish for the rest of your life

Nestor_V, May 2022

Enzo was an absolute rock star. He knew all the right places to go and the right times to visit them for minimal crowds. He is an incredibly talented photographer and also knows a lot about the city and gave us some amazing recommendations. We are very glad we did this while in Venice as we will keep these photos forever. Thank you, Enzo!!!!

Fun photo tour!

Sarah_G, Apr 2022

Since we travel by ourselves as a couple, usually the pictures we get together are selfies or something we ask a random bystander to take. This was an excellent opportunity to get some really good pictures taken in a gorgeous place! Enzo had a skilled eye and knew all the neat places to take unique and special pictures. The gondola ride was fun as well.

Great photo shoot. ...

Owen_R, Feb 2022

Great photo shoot. Photographer was absolutely amazing. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have such an amazing excursion.

Amazing experience

Lilit_S, Oct 2021

The entire experience was amazing from start to finish. Enzo is not only a talented photographer but also seemed very genuine and was a great tour guide. We would definitely recommend this for anyone visiting Venice!!

It's fucked up.

Anonymous, Sep 2025

I'm glad you were so kind. They contacted me the day before and waited for me without being late. The shooting was also smooth. It is safe even for the first time because it also teaches the pose. Best of all, my smile when I'm filming is so amazing!! We could smile too(^^) I also liked the fact that they took photos both on land and on water! I was so happy to ride the gondola that I had hoped for and even had a photo shoot(^^) Thank you very much.
