Romantic Photoshoot in Burano

Photographic walk in Burano, for couples who are traveling here to get engaged, on a honeymoon, or just on a romantic holiday in the city of love! We will meet in Burano in the early morning and enjoy the magical, quiet beauty of this remote island. I will photograph you walking between the iconic Burano colored houses. I will tell you how to pose naturally for the camera. If you already know what you want to see, you can let me know and I will adjust the schedule to fit your ideas, otherwise we will get lost in the magic of Burano. I will suggest some hidden locations, and some places you can't miss in the small island of Burano. We will walk the narrow streets, see the colored houses, the canals, the bridges and use all the beauty we find as a photo background. I will tell you how to pose in the most natural way. I love candid shots and I will try and catch those special moments between you and your partner.
