Welcome to Barbara Zanon Photography
Barbara Zanon is a Venice-born photographer and photojournalist who has photographed weddings for more than 20 years, working from Venice and Trieste and travelling throughout Italy and beyond. Her wedding work is natural, joyful and elegant, told through spontaneous moments rather than set poses and lit by whatever light the day offers.
Barbara Zanon was born in Venice in 1979 and has worked as a professional photographer since 2004. Her editorial and news photographs have appeared in The New York Times, LIFE, The Guardian, Le Monde, Der Spiegel, El País, Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Forbes; she contributes to Getty Images and is a member of Italy's Ordine dei Giornalisti and of Women Photograph. Alongside that career she has photographed weddings for more than 20 years, for couples and families in Italy and abroad.
My wedding photography is feminine, attentive, and elegant, focused on naturally capturing the events of one of the most important days of your life.Barbara Zanon
