MICHELLE + GIANCARLO
Venice Gondola engagement session | Italy couple photographer
Michelle and Giancarlo from Australia are two of the loveliest people I’ve ever known, and their Venice gondola engagement session was such a dream! We met under the hot italian sun this summer, in the city of dreams called Venice. As an Italy destination wedding photographer, I am so glad I have the possibility frame my couples in some of the most breathtaking corners of the country. I truly believe the best feeling in the world is to wander around, discovering new hidden spots while making new friends and unique experiences, like this time.

MAKING EVERLASTING MEMORIES IN VENICE
If you are visiting one of the most famous and charming cities of all Europe, it’s always a great idea to have some pictures taken around. Especially if we’re speaking of your gondola engagement session in Venice! We wandered for a couple hours, getting lost in the small cobblestone alleys and narrow canals, stopping here and there under amazing arches or at the end of dark tunnels. In facts, we luckily managed to stay away from the crowded places, enjoying the most silent corners. This city offers so many scenic places, you can always find new ones to use as an epic frame for some pictures. I can definitely tell the reason why Venice is the dream location for so many tourists (and photographers!).
EMOTIONAL ENGAGEMENT SESSION IN ITALY
Giancarlo and Michelle’s pure love made it so easy to capture sincere and intimate moments in the narrow alleys of Venice. If you know my philosophy a bit, you’ll surely notice how spontaneous and fun their hugs and kisses are. Everything felt so natural for them, and for me too! I just love when my couples let their wildest soul and emotions come out. As I always say, the perfect photo is “Real. Raw. Unposed”. Because of the relaxed and romantic atmosphere, the sweetness in Michelle and Giancarlo’s eyes came out in front of my camera, and you can tell these images are truly heartfelt! In facts, all you’re going to remember when thinking about your engagement session is the emotion, so let’s make them matter!
TRADITIONAL VENICE GONDOLA RIDE
Just as in the best fairytales, we also enjoyed a super fun Gondola ride along the canals. This traditional practice comes from ancient times, but still remains such an unforgettable and typical experience to have in Venice! In addition to admiring the amazing wooden handmade Gondolas, you’ll really appreciate the incredible ability of the riders. For instance, I risked a couple times to be hit by the low bridges while shooting if it wasn’t for our amazing guy!
What a fun session! I cant imagine being on your side of things TRying to take photos and not flip the gondola.
ahahaha I risked to be hit by a bridge at one point, since I was taking pictures facing the couple and didn’t see it coming at my back! :’)
