Silvia Sala Photography

This isn’t just a photoshoot, it’s your chance to experience Italy in a way that feels truly personal: not rushed, not staged.
Without the right guide - someone who knows the rhythms and light of this country - it’s easy to miss the most meaningful moments and end up with photos that don’t feel like you.
Through my lens, I’ll capture the quiet glances, the laughter, the real connection between you, all framed by Italy’s beauty.


What if your trip to Italy wasn’t just a vacation, but a story worth remembering forever?

Your story, Italy on the background, captured by a local photographer.

Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine walking hand in hand through the quiet cobblestone streets of Florence, the golden light of sunset painting the sky above Venice, or whispering your vows on a secluded cliffside in the Dolomites.

No distractions, no stress, just the two of you, immersed in the beauty of Italy, living a moment that will stay with you forever.

"If you’re looking for someone who truly loves what they do and will go above and beyond to capture the perfect moment, Silvia is your person. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you, Silvia, for creating memories we’ll cherish forever."

"She knows the best locations and the perfect timing for stunning photos. Everything was so easy, from communication to planning. Without a doubt, she turned a very special moment into something truly memorable."

 Beyond her incredible talent, Silvia is one of the kindest, most genuine people we’ve ever met. Her warm and friendly presence made us feel completely at ease, and having her there truly felt like a blessing.

Choosing Silvia to be our photographer for our engagement photoshoot in Venice was the BEST choice- a highlight of our trip.

Working with her throughout the post-engagement shoot was such a treat.
We had two hours of basically having a personal tour guide, who felt like an old friend, finding great spots for photos.

Italy isn’t just where I live: it’s a part of who I am. I was born and raised here, and with all its contrasts, quirks, and beauty, I love it deeply. That’s why I don’t just take your photos: I'm here to help you truly live it.

Beyond the picture-perfect postcards, Italy is a land of rich traditions, diverse cultures, and stories waiting to be told. And while it’s easy to get stuck in the tourist routes, rushing through crowded spots and missing the magic in between, there’s a whole other side of Italy that only opens up when you slow down and know where to look.

From secret spots only locals know to the best restaurants where you can taste each city’s traditional dish (because yes, Italy may be small, but every region is a world of its own!), I’ll guide you to an experience that feels authentic, immersive, and uniquely yours.

Your local guide & photographer,

most breathtaking places.

5 Star reviews

I’ve known Silvia since elementary school and have watched her passion for photography grow from the very beginning.

When my husband and I decided to get married, we had no doubts about who our photographer would be—Silvia was our immediate choice.

We are beyond happy to have had her capturing our most special day. She made us feel completely at ease while effortlessly capturing precious and magical moments with our family and friends—including her, who, after so many years, was right there by our side on such a meaningful day.

I highly recommend her, not only for her professionalism but also for her kindness, creativity, and warm presence.

Thank you, Silvia! ❤️

My fiancé booked Silvia back in August for my surprised engagement photoshoot and I could not be more happier that she captured our beautiful moments in Venice. You will not regret and be disappointed.

Silvia made sure that your idea area of Venice be heard and made it came true. As well knows the best spots to capture it. We love the fact that when she captured our moments during our photoshoots that she said “Pretend that I’m not here” to make the experience more special and natural for our photos.

I love the fact that we were really comfortable around her. Thank you so much Silvia for capturing our beautiful moments in Venice that will forever be cherished. Our engagement photos turned out beautiful.

My fiancé did an amazing job picking her. I highly recommend choosing her as your photographer for your photoshoot session if you’re in Venice. We can’t wait to book Silvia again.

If you check out her Instagram and love the warm vibe of her photos, you should definitely book her!

On the day of the shoot, she took us to so many great spots. Even though it was super hot early in the morning, she spent two full hours showing us around and taking photos, hitting up both the famous spots and some awesome hidden alleys. She was super flexible and made the whole experience amazing.

We also had a great time chatting about the differences between life in Japan and Italy and her stories from when she stayed in Japan. 彼女は日本語を勉強していたこともあるので、ベネチアへ旅行にいく日本人に全力でおすすめします✌️

When I got the photos back, I could really feel her warmth in all of them, and I loved every single one! 💐
