Silvia Sala Photography

I was born and raised in Italy, in the beautiful city of Bergamo. At 19, I moved to Venice for university and never left, making this amazing place my home.

Photography has been a part of me since I was 15, when I first felt the urge to capture the beauty of everyday moments. Since then, I’ve never stopped.

Now, I bring that same passion to every couple I work with, offering more than just photos: I create timeless memories in the most breathtaking places Italy has to offer. My love for this country and for travel runs deep, and I want you to experience Italy in the most authentic way possible.

Nice to meet you, I'm Silvia!

Not every love story fits inside a box. Society tells us who we should love, how we should celebrate, and what our most important moments should look like. But I believe your love is yours alone and the way you choose to honor it should feel just as personal, intimate, and true as the connection you share.

I’m here for the couples who want to experience their day fully, without expectations or obligations or simply want to preserve the magic of their honeymoon, travels, or a once-in-a-lifetime moment together.

I get it. If you’re someone who values intimacy over spectacle, authenticity over performance, and experiences over conventions, you’re not alone. As an introvert myself, I understand the beauty of quiet moments, of feeling truly present with the person you love, of creating memories that are yours and yours alone.

Beyond photography, I genuinely love planning and helping couples explore Italy in a way that feels authentic and respectful to the culture, the landscapes, and the people like me who call this place home. I want you to experience this country, not just visit it. To wander through hidden streets, to embrace the slower pace, to soak in this wonderful country that has been shaped by different cultures for centuries.

If this resonates with you, if you’re looking for someone who truly understands your way of seeing the world, then I think we’re a perfect match. Let’s create something beautiful together.

Italian Local Photographer

If You’re Looking for This, We’re a Perfect Match

Born and raised in Italy, I know this country inside and out. I’ll help you experience it not as a tourist, but as a part of its beauty, guiding you to breathtaking places that feel private, magical, and uniquely yours.


Photos That
Feels Like You

You won’t find stiff poses or forced moments here. My approach is quiet and unobtrusive, I capture your story as it naturally unfolds, allowing you to simply be present and enjoy every second of your day. Just real, intimate moments that feel like you.




Inclusive Photography

Love is love. No matter your background, religion, or orientation, you are welcome here. Your story deserves to be celebrated exactly as it is, without expectations or limitations. My goal is to create a safe, open space where you can be 100% yourselves.



A Love for Nostalgia 

I believe that photos should make you feel something, not just remind you of how you looked, but of how you felt in that exact moment. I focus on capturing those quiet, fleeting interactions that truly tell your story.

When I’m Not Behind the Camera I love to…

What they say about me...

Silvia is fantastic and I can’t recommend her enough. She did a surprise engagement photo shoot in Venice for us and did an awesome job! She was so helpful with picking the right location for our needs and took us around Venice to awesome spots where not many tourists were around and the lighting and color was fantastic. So kind and helpful…. 10/10!

Choosing Silvia to be our photographer for our engagement photoshoot in Venice was the BEST choice- a highlight of our trip. She had amazing communication even before we put our deposit down, and it was just as fun to spend the morning with her as it was to take photos! She is so knowledgeable about Venice and we LOVE our photos. Thank you Silvia!!!!!!!!

“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
