Couples • Surprise Proposals • Weddings • Portraits in Florence & Tuscany
Although my main studio base is in Venice, Florence is my second home—my life partner lives here, which means I spend a great deal of my time in the city and know its streets, light, and quiet corners firsthand. Because so many travelers visit Venice, Florence, and Rome on the same itinerary (often flying in or out of Milan), working across these cities allows me to meet you where you are while keeping my photography fresh and inspired.
From the river reflections along the Arno and the arches of the Uffizi Gallery to panoramic views at Piazzale Michelangelo and the artisan streets of the Oltrarno, Florence has a warm Renaissance character all its own. Whether you are planning a surprise proposal, celebrating your honeymoon, or getting married in the Tuscan hills, I would love to photograph your time here.
📲 Quick question or checking dates in Florence?
You recorded a really smart observation here that couples love: Florence is a fantastic place to propose because it is deeply romantic without giving the secret away too early! Unlike a gondola ride where a partner might immediately suspect a proposal is coming, an evening walk toward the Ponte Vecchio, a quiet garden terrace near San Miniato al Monte, or a morning stroll past the Duomo feels completely natural right up until the second you drop to one knee.
We will plan the exact spot, timing, and cover story together—whether you want an intimate, candid moment in the historic center or a private terrace setup with flowers and prosecco. Once they say “yes,” we will take a relaxed engagement walk through Florence to celebrate.
Florence’s warm terracotta tones and Renaissance stone make an extraordinary backdrop for engagement and pre-wedding portraits. In fact, several of my couples split their photography across two cities—booking a surprise proposal in Venice, and then meeting up with me a few days later in Florence for a relaxed engagement session with a completely different architectural mood.
Your time in Tuscany deserves more than phone selfies. I keep honeymoon and family sessions unhurried and conversational, so our walk feels like a natural highlight of your holiday rather than a stiff photo shoot. We will move at your pace—stopping for an espresso or gelato along the way if you like—and capture genuine portraits of the people you love.
Florence and the surrounding Tuscan countryside offer some of the most sought-after wedding settings in the world. From civil ceremonies in the historic Sala Rossa at Palazzo Vecchio to intimate elopements and multi-day destination weddings in the vineyards of Chianti, Val d’Orcia, or San Gimignano, I bring a calm, discreet documentary style and a deep familiarity with Italian light.

Visiting Florence on a solo trip or celebrating a personal milestone? We will design a custom portrait route through the historic center—from the columns of the Uffizi and the bridges over the Arno to the quiet, ivy-draped alleys of the Oltrarno—guiding you into flattering light and effortless poses.
From international menswear events like Pitti Uomo to art exhibitions, academic conferences, and culinary workshops, Florence attracts creatives and entrepreneurs year-round. I offer tailored personal branding, fashion, and editorial portrait sessions to update your portfolio, press kit, or professional profile.
What is the best time of day for a photoshoot in Florence?
Just like Venice and Rome, Florence’s historic center is very compact and busy midday. Sunrise is the best choice if you want the Duomo, the Uffizi colonnade, and the Ponte Vecchio completely empty. Late afternoon into sunset is magical if you want warm golden light along the Arno riverbanks or panoramic views looking out over the city skyline from Piazzale Michelangelo or San Miniato al Monte.
Do you charge travel fees for shoots in Florence?
Because my partner lives in Florence and I am in town regularly, we can often align your session with the days I am already in Florence! Even if I travel down from Venice specifically for your shoot, the high-speed train takes just two hours, making it very easy to arrange.
Do you also travel to Tuscan villas, Chianti, or Siena?
Yes! Whether you are staying at a countryside agriturismo or villa in Chianti, San Gimignano, Lucca, or Siena, I am happy to meet you in the Tuscan hills for a wedding, elopement, or couple session.
Can you recommend a hair and makeup artist in Florence?
Of course. I can connect you with reliable, English-speaking hair and makeup stylists in Florence who travel directly to your hotel or apartment.
