HEAR IT FROM OTHERS

THE MOST MEMORABLE EVENING OF OUR TRIP TO ITALY

Their energy and passion for what they do is contagious and our session with them was the most memorable evening of our trip to Italy.
They were more than just our photographers, they were our guides for the evening that helped my wife and I relax in front of the camera and focus on each other while they captured so many priceless memories for us.

They documented our relationship perfectly. From the way that my wife smiles at me, to the way her eyes twinkle when I tell a goofy joke.

I should mention that my wife and I are professional wedding photographers.
So we had to find the absolute best and I am so happy that we did.

ONE OF THE BEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES

From the beginning, they were very attentive and helpful with proposal planning, which can be a very stressful time especially when you are planning a proposal from another country.
They took the time to get to know us as a couple before even meeting us in person.

It felt very personal from day one. They booked and planned a private boat tour for us with an amazing captain. Both Sara and Ale were warm, cheerful and kind. It felt like we had known them for years. It was seriously one of the best days of our lives.

We are so lucky to have found them to capture such an important time in our lives.

GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND MAKE EVERYTHING SO STRESS-FREE

Going above and beyond made everything so stress-free, especially as we’re from the other side of the world!

I felt so relaxed, knowing that I was in great hands.

We had so much fun with them the whole time, and the photos they took are insane!

My partner and I still can’t believe how lucky we are to have worked with these two legends.

NOT SURE HOW I COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT THEM

They went so far above and beyond I’m not sure how I could have done it without them.

The session itself was fantastic, it was like hanging out with long-time friends who happened to be professional photographers.

We got every picture we wanted and so many we had no idea we needed.
Truly a fantastic experience from start to finish.
They’re consummate professionals and genuinely good people.

THIS IS NOT A “SIMPLE” PHOTOSHOOT

My family and I felt at ease right away with Sara and Alessandro.

We were so happy that at the end of the session, our kids asked “when are we going to do that again?“

This is not a simple photoshoot, but something magical that leaves you with memories for life.

THE WAY THEY CAPTURED RAW EMOTIONS WAS AMAZING

From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional, and the way they captured the raw emotions of that moment was truly amazing.

When we received the final photographs, we were left speechless.
Their passion for their craft, coupled with their ability to turn emotions into visual stories, is inspiring. I’m forever grateful for the memories they’ve preserved for us and can’t recommend their services highly enough.

Your Photoshoot in Portofino

As Portofino photographers, we’ve explored countless stunning locations in Italy, but Portofino in Liguria holds a unique charm and elegance. This picturesque seaside town offers the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable day.

Imagine strolling along the vibrant harbor, sipping a cocktail, wandering through lush gardens, and discovering hidden coves. Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?

From the luxurious yachts docked at the marina to the pastel-colored buildings lining the shore, from the tranquil Piazzetta to the panoramic views at Castello Brown, Portofino is an ideal setting for breathtaking photos.
