Venice, Italy | Travel Photography

20th May 2016 by MaxeenKim 2 Comments

Venice, Italy, Travel, Maxeen Kim Photography

Venice… The sinking city. I had dreamt about visiting for so long – it had been on my bucket list of places to see, along with Rome, Paris, Valencia and Athens – and in August 2014 that dream finally came true. I got to spend 3 days and 2 nights in one of the most romantic cities in the world.

Venice possesses a melancholy beauty that I have not encountered anywhere else before. By night, with it’s lights reflected in the water and beautiful music from the numerous buskers floating upon the wind, it really is the perfect place to fall in love. However, these qualities also make it the perfect place to be depressed about love, should you not be lucky enough to find yourself falling just yet.

As with most European cities, it is best when explored on your own two feet. I spent my days blissfully walking down little cobbled streets, discovering treasure in hidden markets and marvelling at the beauty of the Moreno glass which is made in the area – as well as taking a multitude of photos!

If you are planning to visit Venice yourself, I would suggest trying a walking tour. The guides are full of useful and interesting information as well as being a fab source of suggestions on the best places to eat. Also, take a water-taxi to your hotel from the airport on arrival. These are expensive but it’s just magical to see Venice rise out of the water as your boat draws closer to the city.

As I was there when summer was drawing to a close, things were cooling down and I really enjoyed my trip. But it is worth mentioning that many of my friends that have visited in the height of summer have said that the water can have a tendency to smell a bit due to the heat. So I would definitely recommend a spring or autumn trip – this also means the possibility of slightly less tourists!

I hope this has given you a little inspiration for your next holiday, and, because words are never enough, here are some of my favourite shots from the trip.

Maxeen captured our dream day from start to finish on the enchanting island of Ithaca, an island that is extremely close to our hearts. 

Max has an eye for small details and perfect locations. Max made us feel so comfortable in front of her lens, we almost forgot she was there, which made our photographs so authentic and filled with the emotions of our day. Her soft style of photography was perfect for our special day and added to the dreaminess of the occasion. 

Max was super friendly and so professional and it was an absolute pleasure having her as our wedding photographer. We are so thrilled with the photographs which we received within 6 weeks after our wedding and we have no idea how we are going to choose a limited number of photographs for our album.

Not only did we gain a photographer to capture our wedding (and all future events which we may wish to have on Ithaca), but we have gained a friend and we so look forward to seeing her next time we are in Greece.

We first met Maxeen a year before we got married and after meeting her we knew we would want her to be our photographer; her enthusiasm and attention to the specific details of our day won us over and we were not disappointed with our choice.

Maxeen also organised an beautiful engagement shoot for us in the hills of Lefkada. It was great to see another side to the island and produced some lovely intimate photos.

We are so happy with all the photos from our wedding and engagement. Maxeen has managed to capture all of our guests as well as so many of those tender moments. There were definitely tears when we viewed them for the first time!!! Her keen eye for capturing the little details of the day has produced photo's that feel so unique and special to us and our day.

Maxeen covered our wedding day in Kefalonia, she was absolutely amazing! She made us both feel really comfortable and relaxed. She was completely committed to getting the best shots of us and all the pictures we wanted. It wasn't 'just another wedding' for her. You can clearly see it's a passion and something she loves!! Unbelievable service! Xx

Maxeen travelled all the way to Scotland for our wedding and was amazing from start to finish. She was such a lovely friendly person with great advice. We loved chatting to her and felt like we have known her for ages. We have just got our photographs and I can't stop looking at them! The photo's are amazing. I would highly recommend her!

We met Maxeen in Mauritius a day after we got engaged and she took the most gorgeous photos of us on the most beautiful beach at sunset. She's super amazing, awesome to be around and helps the camera shy to be comfortable! We hope to have her as our wedding photographer! x

Maxeen covered our wedding on Ithaca, in Greece. She was professional, supportive and a grace under pressure. She captured our day perfectly. I would highly recommend Max if you are looking for a skilled artist, with an eye for details to capture your most special day.
