About Florence
Florence is compact in a way that flatters a photo session: the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio and the Arno embankments sit within a fifteen-minute walk of each other, so a single hour can carry three completely different backdrops. Piazzale Michelangelo is the classic sunset view over the terracotta roofs, the Boboli and Bardini gardens give greenery and quiet, and the lanes of the Oltrarno stay workshop-scented and largely tourist-free. Couples come for the bridges at first light, families for the gardens, and proposals almost always end on a terrace with the cathedral dome filling the background.

Much more than a photographer — where his photographs end, the memories begin! I've known Marco Miglianti since I was a child. He photographed my First Communion and my Confirmation, so when the time came to choose a photographer for our…

Rosario was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding in Rome. From the moment we met him, he made us feel completely comfortable — which is saying a lot, because my husband and I usually feel awkward in front of the camera. He…

Top Photo Spots in Florence
The most photogenic locations for your Florence photoshoot
Piazzale Michelangelo
The terrace above the Arno with the entire city in one view — Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, the bridges — and the sunset everyone in Florence turns up for.
Best time: Sunrise for solitude; if sunset, arrive an hour early
The rose garden just below adds flowers to the same skyline in late spring. The climb from the river is steep — taxi up, shoot down.
Ponte Vecchio and the Arno
The medieval bridge stacked with goldsmiths' shops, best photographed from the next bridge along with the river doubling everything.
Best time: Early morning on the bridge; golden hour from Ponte Santa Trinita
The view from Ponte Santa Trinita is the famous one — shoot the bridge, not just from it.
Piazza del Duomo
Brunelleschi's dome, Giotto's bell tower and the marble-striped cathedral filling every frame — overwhelming at street level, in the best way.
Best time: Dawn — by mid-morning the piazza is one of the busiest places in Italy
The cathedral is too big to fit from close up — use the streets leading in, with the dome closing the view at the end of them.
Piazza della Signoria and the Loggia dei Lanzi
Florence's civic stage — Palazzo Vecchio's tower, the David copy and an open-air sculpture gallery under stone arches.
Best time: Early morning, when the loggia is empty and the light is low across the piazza
The loggia's arches give shade and a sculptural backdrop at midday, when the open piazza is too harsh.
Boboli Gardens
The Medici garden behind Palazzo Pitti — cypress avenues, fountains and terraces with the dome floating above the rooftops.
Best time: Morning, before the heat and the tour groups reach the upper terraces
Ticketed entry. The garden is much bigger and steeper than it looks — pick two or three areas rather than trying to cross it all.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a photoshoot in Florence cost?
Professional photoshoots in Florence start from €279. Packages vary by duration and the number of edited photos — from a compact session around Ponte Vecchio to a longer walk taking in both banks of the Arno.
What are the best photo spots in Florence?
Ponte Vecchio — best photographed from Ponte Santa Trinita — Piazzale Michelangelo for the full skyline, the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria, the artisan lanes of the Oltrarno and San Niccolò, and the Boboli Gardens. Everything sits within one walkable historic centre.
What is the best time for photos in Florence?
Sunrise, when you have Ponte Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria almost to yourself, and golden hour at Piazzale Michelangelo as the city turns amber. Spring and autumn bring the softest light; in August the centre is at its most crowded, which makes an early start even more worthwhile.
Can I combine a Florence photoshoot with the Tuscan countryside?
Yes — Florence pairs beautifully with the Val d'Orcia, whose cypress-lined roads and rolling hills are an hour and a half or so to the south. Many photographers happily split a booking into a city session and a countryside session, or shoot the Chianti vineyards closer to town. Mention the idea in your booking request and they will suggest a route.
Do I need a permit to elope in Italy?
For a symbolic ceremony (non-legal), you generally don't need permits for many public outdoor locations like beaches, parks, and viewpoints, though specific sites such as historic palaces in Siena or the gardens of Villa Cimbrone in Ravello may require advance booking or a small access fee. Private venues like wine estates or boutique hotels typically include ceremony permissions in their rental fee. For a legally binding ceremony, you'll need to register with a local civil registry office (Ufficio di Stato Civile) and provide documentation including birth certificates and proof that you're legally free to marry, translated into Italian. The process takes 2-4 weeks. Your Photo Italy photographer can connect you with experienced local wedding planners who handle all the legal logistics, paperwork, and venue permissions so you can focus on enjoying the day.
How long does an elopement photography session last?
Elopement photography sessions typically last 2-4 hours, which is enough to beautifully cover getting ready, the walk to the ceremony spot, the vow exchange, ring ceremony, first kiss, couple portraits in multiple locations, and initial celebration moments like a champagne toast. This timeframe works perfectly for intimate elopements with just the two of you or a small group of up to 10 guests. For couples who want comprehensive all-day coverage — including morning preparations, a multi-location portrait session, the ceremony, and a celebration dinner — full-day packages of 6-8 hours are available from select Photo Italy photographers. Your photographer will help you build a realistic timeline so every important moment is captured without feeling rushed.
