Book a Wedding Photoshoot
in Siena

For peak wedding season (May through October), we strongly recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for Saturday weddings at popular venues. Italy's top wedding photographers often have their prime summer dates booked a full year ahead, particularly in sought-after regions like the Amalfi Coast, Siena, and Val d'Orcia. For off-season weddings (November through April), you'll have more flexibility and may find availability with 2-3 months notice. Weekday weddings also tend to have better photographer availability year-round. When you find a photographer you love on Photo Italy, secure your date with a deposit to lock in their availability — the earlier you book, the wider your selection of top-rated professionals.

Most destination wedding couples book 8-12 hours of photography coverage, which captures the complete story from getting-ready preparations through the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, first dance, and party. For more intimate weddings (under 30 guests) or shorter celebrations, 6 hours of coverage may be sufficient to capture all the key moments. Full-day packages of up to 16 hours are available for extended celebrations that start with morning preparations and continue through a late-night party or after-party. When estimating your needs, consider adding a buffer of 1-2 hours beyond what you think you'll need — the candid moments between events are often the most treasured. Your Photo Italy photographer will help you build a realistic photography timeline during your pre-wedding consultation.

Yes — Photo Italy photographers cover weddings across the entire country, from the northern Lake Como region to the southern Amalfi Coast, and even the islands of Sicily and Sardinia. Travel within the photographer's home region (typically a 50-80km radius) is included in standard packages at no extra charge. For weddings in other regions — for example, a Rome-based photographer traveling to an Amalfi Coast venue — a small travel fee may apply to cover transport and accommodation. This fee is always shown upfront and transparently in each photographer's package listing, so there are no surprises. Many photographers also offer multi-day packages for destination weddings that include a rehearsal dinner shoot or day-after session, which is especially popular for international couples hosting a wedding weekend in Italy.

Professional photoshoots in Siena start from €310. A typical one- to two-hour session runs roughly €310–€450, depending on duration and the number of edited photos — from a short walk around the Piazza del Campo to a longer route taking in the cathedral and the contrada lanes above it.

The Piazza del Campo, which works as one enormous open-air studio, the striped marble of the Duomo and its piazza, the Facciatone terrace looking over the rooftops to the countryside, the steep contrada lanes off Via di Città, and the ramparts of the Fortezza Medicea at sunset. Everything is within a fifteen-minute walk.

First light and the last hour before sunset: Siena's brick glows at both, and the centre stays quiet early even in August. Midday in high summer means real heat and hard shadow across the sloping square. Spring and autumn are the kindest months, and early July brings the Palio and its crowds.
