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.

Wayne & Sheere

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 Portovenere

As Portovenere Photographers, we’ve visited many beautiful places in Italy, but Portovenere in Liguria is uniquely romantic and special. This charming little village has everything for a memorable day.

Imagine walking on cobblestone streets, surrounded by the scents of Pesto and Focaccia, exploring Byron’s impressive caves, and more. Does it sound like a dream?

From the Church of San Pietro to the Doria Castle, from the lively cafes by the marina to the colorful alleys, it’s a perfect place for stunning portraits.
