Your Private Photographer at Palazzo Ripetta
A private photographer, steps from your door
Proposals, anniversaries, honeymoons and every trip worth remembering. I meet you at Palazzo Ripetta and we wander through Piazza del Popolo, Ara Pacis and the Tiber steps and Via Margutta as the light turns gold.
No posing experience needed. I plan the route around the light and the crowds, guide you the whole time, and you simply enjoy Rome together.

A Roman address, a Roman photographer
Palazzo Ripetta
A five-star hotel set in a convent founded in 1672, a few minutes from Piazza del Popolo. Curving corridors by architect Luigi Moretti, a secret garden, a rooftop bar and a Pomodoro bronze sphere at the entrance make it one of the most distinctive addresses on Via di Ripetta.
Love Society Studios
Heather Tammaro is the principal photographer behind Love Society Studios. Based in Rome, she photographs proposals, couples and travelers through the city's most beautiful streets, piazzas and gardens. Her work is editorial and cinematic, built on gentle direction and real connection, so every image feels like you.

Loved by couples in Rome

Questions, answered
What if it rains?
I keep an eye on the forecast and we can move your session to another day of your stay at no cost.
Do I need to know how to pose?
Not at all. I guide you the whole time, and most of my favorite images happen between the poses.
How far will we walk?
Most sessions stay within a short walk of Palazzo Ripetta. Comfortable shoes are your friend on Roman cobblestones.
When will I get my photos?
Your gallery arrives within one week of your session, in a private online gallery with high-resolution and web-ready files.
Can we go further than Via di Ripetta?
Of course. The Aventine, the Forum, the Tiber and Trastevere are all an easy trip away. Tell me the places you have in mind and I’ll plan the route.
Do I need to be staying at Palazzo Ripetta to book?
The session starts at the hotel, which makes it effortless for Palazzo Ripetta guests, but anyone visiting Rome can book.
