In brief
A maternity or babymoon session in Venice is a 1 to 1.5 hour photoshoot on a short, flat route with few bridges, planned around the coolest hours of the day and places to sit, with a gondola as an easy option.
Planning a maternity session in Venice
Venice can be tiring, with more than 400 bridges, many with steps. A maternity session here is planned to be easy: a short loop with few bridges, shade in summer and places to sit. We can use a water taxi or vaporetto between spots, and schedule the session in the coolest hours of the day.
Best places for maternity photos
The waterfront of the Zattere is wide and flat, with sunset light on the water. The trees of the Giardini offer rare shade. A gondola ride is a comfortable way to see the canals sitting down. San Giorgio Maggiore is quiet and open, a short boat ride from St Mark's.
What to wear for a babymoon photoshoot
Flowing dresses photograph beautifully against the canals and move with the breeze from the lagoon. Solid colours work best, and comfortable shoes are essential. We'll send outfit suggestions before the day. For the trip itself, see our babymoon in Venice guide.
