David captured an incredibly important life moment and exceeded my expectations doing it. I chose David’s proposal package, let him know that my partner thought we were doing a regular photoshoot, and then we worked together to choose the perfect location. David’s assistance planning and setting expectations alleviated some of the pre-proposal jitters, letting me focus on what matters. His attention to detail and positive attitude made the experience feel very professional but also fun. He kept a strong game face the entire time, my (now) Fiancé had no idea the proposal was coming. I highly recommend David to anyone seeking to capture an important life moment. The entire experience, from start to the final product is 5*

Booking with Debora and David was completely seamless! Starting the process of planning an engagement in a country that I have never been to was completely intimidating. From video directions on where to go, text/email updates on the planning, suggestions, and extensive preparation tips and trick- I felt confident in a place that I had never been to. As a couple that has always hated the pictures that we take and the awkwardness that comes with it, we LOVED how they came out and the moments David was able to capture. We were able to be completely ourselves while he helped us to portray this in the photos. As a female/female couple, we felt 1000% ourselves and comfortable in front of David who was a stranger to us to start who quickly felt like someone we had known forever. He had a great understanding of the area and expertise on suggestions for planning. The photos were unbelievable and breathtaking and the turnaround time on getting them back within 24 hours was so exciting for us as we couldn’t wait to share this moment with everyone we love. The was he was able to make these photos so bright and beautiful on a rainy day was everything for us and truly showed the beauty we saw on our end in Manarola. We can’t wait to come back and have David take future milestone photos for us! Grazie mille!

Cannot recommend David & Debora enough for any and all photography needs. From the first interaction they were extremely helpful and thoughtful and went over and above with helping to plan everything to perfection. Communication was great all the way throughout the process and even with help surprising my partner with a proposal! We felt very comfortable throughout the entire photo shoot and David gave great direction to help us get some incredible photos. Outside of that, the final edited and delivered photos were sent promptly and were absolutely perfect. Do yourself a favor and book a session. It’ll be more than worth it! Grazie Mille!

Lovvia Memories did an incredible job capturing our engagement and I can’t thank them enough. After a canceled trip to Venice due to airline strikes, we resumed our trip in Cinque Terre and David quickly responded to save the day. Since I’m not from the area, David helped me pick a spot and captured the moment perfectly. I highly recommend them to anyone.

I can’t express enough how amazing our experience with David and Lovvia Memories was! I have been, for months, planning a surprise engagement for my now-fiancée in the breathtaking Cinque Terre, and met David through a bit of research, from all the Photographers I found/contacted, David was the best choice I could make. As a local from the region, his deep knowledge and love for the area truly set him apart. From the very beginning, he was more than just a photographer; he became a guide, planner, and even a friend throughout the process. He went above and beyond to make it truly unforgettable ❤ David’s creativity and attention to detail made our engagement photoshoot extraordinary. He suggested the most beautiful and unique spots in the Cinque Terre that perfectly captured the magic of the moment. His talent behind the camera is undeniable – the photos turned out stunning, capturing every emotion and the gorgeous scenery in a way we will treasure forever. But what I truly appreciated, was how incredibly patient David turned out to be, throughout all the planning. You could really feel how understanding he was to how important this moment was for us. He took the time to listen to my ideas, calm my nerves, and even helped me manage the stress that naturally comes with such a big event. His suggestions for the most picturesque and meaningful spots were spot-on, and he was flexible and understanding every time I needed to make changes or take a moment to catch my breath. David’s services didn’t stop at photography. He provided us with fantastic recommendations for places to visit, eat, and explore in the Cinque Terre. Thanks to him, we discovered hidden gems (Cantina Marinella !!) and met wonderful people (Mari ❤) , which made our trip even more special. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only skilled but also passionate, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your experience memorable, look no further than David and Lovvia Memories. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us create and capture such a significant moment in our lives. Thank you, David, one more time, for everything! You are truly the best ❤️

David and Debora did an absolutely incredible job helping me out with a surprise proposal for my fiancé. Coming to Italy from out of the country I did not know much about good options for where to do a proposal and David was there to help me decide and point me in the right direction the whole way. Their photography speaks for itself but we are very happy with how our pictures turned out. They also went out of their way to help me plan the whole morning including figuring out the train schedule, timing of the photoshoot for good lighting, and weather conditions. If you’re looking for the best option for a photographer in Cinque Terre, David and Debora are the right duo for the job!
Sean
David made us feel so comfortable while we were taking these pictures! He made it feel effortless and easy for us as people who have never had professional photos before!! I would 110% recommend him just for that reason alone! But on top of that, the photos he takes are so amazing and gorgeous. My fiancé and I couldn’t have been happier with him and the way that he captured our special moment. Would completely recommend using David for any pictures you want!
Carter
David is absolutely the best. He is incredibly talented! We’re so happy with how the pictures turned out, far exceeding our expectations. We literally love every single photo he took for us. If you come to Cinque Terre for photo shoot, look no further than David! Thank you so much David for creating such precious mementoes for us. ❤️

David made our engagement “picture” perfect. He had good suggestions and considerations when planning the photo shoot. David is very professional, knows how to frame photos and pose his subjects. Also he was cheerful and a joy to work with. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
Charles
David and Debora were amazing and helped make our engagement so special! The communication leading up to the big day was top notch and David was excellent the day of the engagement and helped me with the surprise. He took excellent photos and took us around to some awesome spots in Vernazza. He was a pleasure to work with and the photos turned out great. He sent all of the photos to us in a very timely manner as well which was appreciated. I can not recommend Lovvia enough! 5/5
Chris
David was incredible to work with! I planned a international surprise proposal and David made it extremely simple to plan and execute. David provided extremely useful information like how to propose to get the best pictures, recommended areas, and body posture to get the best shots. The day of the planned proposal, the weather did not cooperate AND there was a train strike. Thankfully, David worked with me a few days beforehand to set up a “plan B” date. Our pictures turned out gorgeous and I would highly recommend working with this fun, creative, and well-experienced professional. Thanks again!!!
Austin
David was so incredible to deal with. From the booking process emailing back and forth a few months before our visit to Italy, too the days leading up he made the process of our engagement so simple and effortless. Would highly recommend him as an incredible photographer and excellent proposal helper.
Shawn
David is a true artist! If you have the opportunity to book a session with him, you’ll quickly understand why. If his accolades are not enough — award-winning filmmaker with true local knowledge of the area — make sure to browse some of his work through Lovvia Memories. Every photograph is absolutely stunning. I was lucky enough to have David help capture my surprise proposal in the beautiful town of Vernazza in Sept 2021. He made himself available at all times of the day to help coordinate, answer questions, and even monitor the weather leading up to the big day (we were expecting rain but got nice beautiful clouds) — even at odd times and delayed responses from me while traveling. David transformed us into models, placing us in some of the most scenic spots of this stretch of Italian Riviera. The experience as a whole doubled as a secret tour of Vernazza with all the spots he took us through. Like a true professional, David followed up with the edited photos crazy fast. My fiance and I loved how they turned out. We are so happy to have met David and hope to cross paths with him again. Do not hesitate to hire Lovvia Memories to capture your lovely memories in Cinque Terre. Cinque stella, grazie mille!
Miguel
David was a gem to work with. His personality was great and he had us feeling welcomed and laughing the whole time. He helped us set up our boat tour and his coordination effort was priceless. I would give both Hello Cinque Terre and Lovvia 6/5 stars if I could. If you are thinking of booking another photographer don’t, David and his team are the best. Thank you so much for taking the most beautiful pictures that captured the most amazing day. Yall are rockstars!
Alex
If I could give 10 stars, I totally would! This was my first time booking a professional photographer, and Davide really exceeded my expectations! I already had seen the amazing photos on his website, but the whole experience was even better than I imagined! Even though we booked 20 minutes, he never made us feel rushed in any way and actually spent more time with us. Super professional, super chill. honestly, he deserves an Oscar too ? he pretended to be a random passerby so my fiancé wouldn’t suspect anything.. the surprise proposal worked out perfectly! If you’re heading to Cinque Terre and thinking about photos, whether it’s a proposal, anniversary, or just something special, Davide is 100% the one to go with. Talented, professional, and just an awesome person to work with.
Bruno
David was sent from heaven to make our proposal happen. I was hanging out with my girlfriend when I saw him taking photos of another couple. I ended up asking him if he could take some of us the following day as it would be our final one in Cinque Terra. Over night we planned a proposal. It was clear he has plenty experience as he had all my questions already answered in the information he sent over. The photos are amazing. The experience was memorable. My now fiancé is so grateful he was able to make time for us on such short notice. It’s all fairly priced and he got us our photos within a week as promised. Thank you!
Jacob
I would give more stars if I could!! I had the honor of coordinating a surprise proposal and David helped us pick a spot, time, and perfect plan! Very easy to communicate with and always responded fast to any adjustments we had to make to keep things a surprise!! The pictures turned out better than we could have ever imagined! I recommend 1000%!!!
Sydney
I proposed to my now fiancé during this photo shoot. David was such a help! He made for the best surprise and knows all the best spots in Vernazza. We did a multi city Italy trip and I would choose David in Vernazza over any other city. Bellissimo!
Craig
I worked with David to capture my proposal in Cinque Terre and I can’t recommend him enough! David and Debora were super responsive and easy to work with and the photos were incredible. It was our first time in Cinque Terre and David and Debora gave great recommendations to make the event as special as possible. The turnaround time for the pictures was super fast as well. The whole experience was perfect and we’ll look back on these photos for a lifetime.
Jacob
We had a terrific experience with David for a surprise proposal photoshoot. David was a pleasure to work with and was always quick and clear with his communication. He worked out all the details to ensure a great execution for my surprise. The photoshoot went seamlessly and we were ecstatic with how the photos turned out. We would not hesitate in recommending Lovvia Memories if you are looking for a photoshoot in Cinque Terre!
Mark
David and Debora were absolutely incredible to work with. I booked them for my proposal in Manarola and they were so helpful in managing logistics and were always very responsive. The pictures and the moment were more than I could have asked for. My fiancée describes our photo shoot with them as magical and the photos as priceless. I can’t thank them enough or recommend them enough. If you need a photographer in Cinque Terre, do not look anywhere else!
Jacob
My partner and i used David as our engagement photographer and he was awesome! We loved our experience! The photos came out amazing and he was very easy to communicate with! And the price was more than fair! Would absolutely use him again!
Sophia
My fiancé surprised me with a beautiful proposal and photoshoot with Lovvia Memories in Cinque Terre. I remember thinking to myself, “I look a bit frazzled, there’s no way I look good in these photos,” but my goodness! Lovvia Memories curated a beautiful set of photos and made us glow with happiness. Their photos showcase just how beautiful that moment was for us. I highly recommend Lovvia Memories if you plan to propose to your partner! Also – look them up on instagram (lovviamemories) to see their beautiful photos and videos. I wish I could relive the moment with my partner and Lovvia Memories once again!
Roshni
I worked with David and had an amazing experience in setting up a surprise proposal photoshoot in Monterosso al Mare, Cinque Terre. David has great familiarity with Cinque Terre and had great suggestions for where and when to do the proposal and what would be suit the photos. He was very communicative and easy to work with every step of the way. He beautifully captured a once in a lifetime moment for us, got us the pictures quickly after only a few days, and I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking to capture a special occasion in beautiful Cinque Terre.
Josuel
I found David and Debora through instagram when I was planning a proposal in Cinque Terre for me and my girlfriend at the time (now fiancée). They were so helpful with the planning and found us a great location that had an incredible view and very few passersby. We had an hour photoshoot afterward and the pictures came out beautifully! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lovely location for photos.
Karim
My partner booked with David for our engagement and he was super helpful with all of the planning with him. He made us feel so comfortable on the day and the photos are just incredible. It was such a wonderful moment in our lives and David captured it perfectly for us so I am forever grateful! Thank you!
Chloe
David & Debora are the best! They helped me plan my surprise engagement in Manarola and everything went perfectly. They are both extremely kind and sent the photos to us in less than a week! Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a professional photographer in Cinque Terre. Thanks again!
Max
If you are looking for a photographer, stop looking and book David!! I cannot recommend him enough. My fiancé and I had David take pictures for a surprise engagement. From the moment I booked with him, David provided all of the information asked, in addition to providing restaurant recommendations. Leading up to the event, he suggested places for the proposal and even though we had a last minute location change (literally hours before), he was there beforehand. Of course, I must mention the quality of the photos. This was a moment we will cherish forever, and we will always be able to look back at it because of the truly incredible pictures we have. David has an outstanding eye, and he was so patient with us. He took us to multiple different locations and there were amazing pictures at each one. Incredibly, he had our photos ready the next day, and we were able to share his magic with our friends and family. Again, if you are looking for photographer, I cannot recommend David enough.
Pranav
If you are looking for a photographer in Cinque Terre, I couldn’t recommend David and Debora more! I was looking for a photographer for my marriage proposal and came across Lovvia Memories in my searching, and from the start, they were so helpful with information, suggestions, planning, etc. Never being to the area before, their assistance and knowledge was invaluable. Debora was our photographer and did a wonderful job with the shoot and the edited photos came out beautifully and we couldn’t be happier with them. Grazie mille!
Joseph
I hired David for a surprise engagement in Vernazza and the entire experience was fantastic! He helped me choose the best location, and was willing to accommodate last minute changes in schedule. He was always very accessible and responds quickly. Most importantly, the photos are fantastic! I would highly recommend Lovvia Memories to anyone who needs a photographer in Cinque Terre.
Charles
Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! David truly captured the magic of our surprise engagement proposal. Super friendly and easy to work with. Definitely a 5-star experience!
Sam
This was the best experience ever! David was amazing, keeping me at ease the entire time and throughout the planning process. He went to the effort to disguise himself as a tour guide so we could do a surprise proposal and keep the moment a secret. If you are looking for someone to help plan some photos and videos for you, Lovvia memories is where you should go! I will be sharing them with everyone else I know. Amazing ?
Thank you 100 times over!
