The photographer was lovely and very attentive and took a lot of photos. We enjoyed the experience very much

Senior Photo Shoot

Stacy_P, Apr 2025

Giada was absolutely wonderful! This was one of our favorites during experiences in Venice. I took my daughter to Venice for her senior trip and decided to hire Giada for a photo shoot to document the experience. Giada reached out to me several times before the event to be sure she understood our wishes. During the shoot, she was extremely friendly and professional. She knew the best locations and had the perfect ways of capturing the morning light in Venice. Not only that, she doubled as a tour guide between locations and gave us some fun information about Venice. My daughter had a blast and felt so comfortable with Giada. Most importantly, the pictures (which she returned to us in only three days!) were absolutely STUNNING. Giada is a true professional who is passionate about her work product and places utmost importance on your experience and satisfaction. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Sunrise photo shoot

Tim_F, Sep 2024

Giada was amazing! She was so sweet and patient and made sure everything was tailored to what we wanted! Can’t wait to see the pictures!

She’s amazing! Highly recommend

Miriam_M, Aug 2024

Giada introduced herself from the moment the booking was done. She made recommendations and was available to answer questions before our trip, and during our session she also asked if there was something in particular we were looking for in our photos that she could focus on. She took beautiful pictures on different sites. She was organized and fun to work with. She made us feel very comfortable too. We very much enjoyed our session and would book with her again!

Thank you Angie, It was so nice meeting you and your beautiful family and I am glad you enjoyed the pictures and the experience. Grazie and take care, Giada

Phenomenon photographer! We love Giada and out photos!

Deana_S, Jul 2023

Wow!!! We had the pleasure of working with Giada to capture family photos while in Venice. Giada was so friendly and genuinely listened to what we wanted during our session while also providing very helpful suggestions and answering questions. She was patient and kind and took her time to ensure we were able to get a variety of locations and poses in that we wanted. Our pictures were absolutely stunning, the way she captures the light is perfection! We now have treasured pictures of family and this lovely city. If you are reading this please don’t hesitate, it was the best decision we made and I only wish I could take her with us on all travels! She is a phenomenal person and skilled photographer, you will love your time with her and your photos!!!

Golden Hour in Venice!

Jason_B, Jun 2022

I read all the reviews and looked at all the photos before booking this...we picked Giada and I'm so glad we did. She went above and beyond our expectations and captured beautiful memories of our family time in Venice! She is a great communicator, met us right at our hotel, and then showed us around Venice as she took photos. It was the exact experience I was hoping for!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Erin, Thank you for your nice words and for sharing your experience. I am beyond than happy that you enjoyed the pictures and time together and hope that our paths will cross again in the future. All the best to you and your amazing family Giada

Matchless Dream

JoseLev_A, Jan 2022

Undoubtedly, I do not have words to describe how amazing and unique was this photoshooting session. The places, the environment and our amazing photographer were all key elements in order to make this moment unforgettable. On the other hand, there is no doubt that without Giada this moment would not have been possible. Giada is such a nice and surprising photographer that without doubt will make of this photoshooting session an astonishing journey. The locations she chooses and the “unprepared moments” when she starts photographing you (without you knowing that those images might end up being your favorite ones since they were not previously arranged but are full of joy and purity) are fundamental to make of this experience matchless and truly “Venetian”. I invite you all to have a session with Giada and bring home some pictures that will last forever.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Thank you so much for these kind and beautiful words. It Is priceless to me. I was very happy to be part of your special vacation in marvellous Venice. Take care and all the best to you, Giada

Gaby_W, Jun 2023

Giada hat mit uns einen Spaziergang an die ruhigen Ecken Venedigs unternommen. Sie ist mit Herzblut dabei und hat einen super Job gemacht!

10/10

PatriciaGmezGarca, Mar 2022

Super buena experiencia. Una persona muy cercana y amable. Las fotos super bien, muy contentos. Exploramos una parte de Venecia tranquila y preciosa que no habíamos visto. Siempre que viajamos a una ciudad nueva, contratamos un reportaje porque queda un recuerdo muy bonito tener fotos hechas por una profesional y Giada merece un 10/10

Ballade en amoureux en image

Gregory_S, Feb 2022

Malgré le fait que c’était une première pour nous, elle a su nous mettre en confiance. Ce fut un moment magique dans des lieux exceptionnels. Seul sa gentillesse dépasse sont talent.

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Thank you Gregory, for the nice words and nice people you are. I was very happy to meet you and try to fix your moments in such a special place for you and Aurore. All the best, Giada
