I am Serena Genovese, an Italian destination photographer specializing in proposals, engagements and elopements in Venice and the Dolomites, as well as in other iconic destinations around the world.
From a romantic proposal in Venice to an elopement in the Dolomites — or a breathtaking session in places like Capri, Lake Como, Saint-Tropez and Dubai — every experience is designed to tell your story in a natural, emotional and elegant way.
My approach blends documentary storytelling with an editorial eye, allowing couples to feel present, connected and completely themselves while creating memories that will last forever.
I am an award-winning photographer based between Venice and Dubai, specializing in surprise proposals and engagement photography for couples who want a refined, emotional and unforgettable experience.
Alongside proposals and engagements, I also photograph elopements and family sessions in Italy, the UAE and selected destinations worldwide.
My work is dedicated to capturing real emotions, refined beauty and meaningful moments, always with discretion, care and a deep attention to detail.
A proposal or an engagement is one of the most emotional moments in a couple’s life.
It deserves to be lived fully, without stress or distractions.
From the romantic canals of Venice, to the dramatic peaks of the Dolomites, the golden cliffs of the Amalfi Coast and Positano, the elegance of Capri and Lake Como, and the magical desert landscapes of Dubai and the UAE, I help couples plan and experience these moments with confidence, calm and authenticity.
My role goes beyond photography: I guide you through the entire experience so you can be present, connected and fully yourselves.
Perfectly planned and discreetly captured surprise proposals in Venice, the Amalfi Coast, the Dolomites, Capri and Dubai, designed to feel natural, intimate and unforgettable.
Romantic engagement sessions that reflect your unique love story, created in iconic locations across Italy and the UAE, with a timeless and elegant aesthetic.
Intimate elopements for couples who choose a meaningful and personal celebration of love, photographed in Venice, the Dolomites, the Amalfi Coast, Dubai or your dream destination.
Refined family portraits and lifestyle sessions in Venice, the Dolomites and across Italy, capturing genuine connections and moments you will treasure for years to come.
I specialize in destination photography, with a strong focus on proposal and engagement sessions in some of the world’s most inspiring locations.
Whether you are dreaming of:
a romantic proposal in Venice or the Amalfi Coast
an adventurous engagement in the Dolomites
an intimate elopement in Capri or Tuscany
or a refined experience in the Dubai desert
each session is carefully planned and photographed with elegance, authenticity and emotion.
With years of experience working with international couples and families, I offer a calm, guided and highly personalized approach.
From location scouting and planning support to the final images, my goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident and truly present in the moment.
The result is a collection of images that feels natural, timeless and deeply connected to your story.
If you are planning a surprise proposal, an engagement session, an elopement or a family experience in Italy, Dubai or worldwide, I would love to help you create and preserve this moment.

Serena shot our engagement in Venice, she was friendly, professional, the photos were fantastic, and it really helped make our day extra special. Can not recommend enough!
My (now) husband found Serena after days of researching engagement photographers in Venice for his surprise proposal. I am so glad he chose her!! Serena’s photography skills are absolutely wonderful. She was a joy to work with. We felt completely comfortable and natural with her, and it shows in the pictures.
Serena was so lovely to work with! Her work is absolutely gorgeous – I can’t stop looking at our photos! She truly has a gift and was so great with directing me and my husband. I would highly recommend working with her if you have the chance!
