Check out our favorite locations for your photoshoot in Venice :

 

Grand Canal

Venice is built on many islands in a Lagoon. That’s why it has no roads, instead has more than 150 canals. One of these canals is the Grand Canal considered the main street in Venice and the largest in the city. Nowadays is heavily transited waterway and it crosses the city from the railway station to San Marco, passing through the center of Venice. The “Vaporetto” is a cheap and excellent way to explore this channel. As well as taxis and gondolas, are also a good option but are more expensive. However, some photoshoot in a gondola’s tour will be an extraordinary and memorable souvenir, because you’ll use amazing facades like a beautiful background.

An excellent location to start exploring the Grand Canal is walking from the Rialto Bridge. It offers spectacular views of the City and Grand Canal itself. Remember that to avoid the sheer number of people in the Rialto you’ll need to be an early bird to capture in a lovely sunrise.

Saint Mark’s Square

Venice’s heart is a sublime piece of art and architecture called St. Mark’s Basílica. Located in the Piazza San Marco a spectacular open space enclosed by beautiful arcades. It is the place of the three major landmarks in Venice. The Basilica di San Marco, The Tower dell’Orologio, and the Doge’s Place. The Basilica with its big onion domes, its multicolored marble pillars, and a glamours interior is something you can’t miss.

Saint Mark’s square gives you the opportunity to capture the most iconic landmarks in Venice. Surrounded by beautiful buildings next to the sea.

Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute

Our last recommendation is located at Punta della Dogana, between the Grand Canal and the Giudecca Canal. It’s visible from the St. Mark’s Square and you can see its beautiful dome (part of the Venice skyline) from the Rialto bridge. The Basilica di Santa María is the second most renowned church in Venice.

The best things here are the exterior decoration: the four statues of the apostles in baroque style, the dome towers part of the skyline in the city and its proximity with the grand canal. These characteristics are fundamental to generate spectacular backgrounds for your photoshoot. A beautiful staircase next to the canal gives you the opportunity to play posing to the camera. You’ll also have the chance to walk through little and romantic alleys next to the church. Discovering places like the San Giorgio’s church, the art gallery L’Occhio, the Peggy Guggenheim collection and the enjoyable Fornace River.
