Wonderful experience!

Gianfranco is a fantastic person and and even more talented photographer! The photos he took are absolutely breathtaking and our friends/family were blown away.

He took us to our favorite spots and sprinkled in some of his own favorites along the way. Was very receptive to poses, locations, dates, and times too. Extremely easy to talk to and genuinely cares about his clients. I contacted him from Chicago and it was extremely easy to book the appointment, to which he arrived early 😊 I recommended him to everyone I know and will continue doing so. Book him for your engagement, wedding, or family pictures - you will not be disappointed!!

Gianfranco was amazing! He captured our proposal in Rome, and the pictures are beautiful. A true professional! He's also very welcoming and friendly! We are very happy with his service, highly recommend to anyone.

Gianfranco was truly amazing. I contacted him months before my trip and he helped me organize a plan for the perfect proposal in Rome. His ideas and skill in photography, along with his knowledge of the city, made this experience smooth and unforgettable. His pictures turned out amazing and I can’t say enough great things about Gianfranco. Go to him for your photography needs while in Italy!

Gianfranco was absolutely amazing! He was able to take care of us on short notice. He was absolutely sweet and kind but also very professional. Guided us and made sure that we felt special on our day. Pictures are also of an absolutely brilliant quality. I cannot recommend him and his services enough!

Catullo photography was incredible!! Gianfranco was such an amazing photographer. He was very professional, on time and wonderful to work with. I surprised my mother for her 70th birthday in Rome and we hired Gian Franco to take photos. I was throughly impressed with the quality and quantity of the photos he took. He is such a sweet man and very flexible to the needs of his clients. I absolutely recommend him and his talent to anyone who wants to make there special occasion amazing. I look forward to hiring him again when I am in Italy. He was also very fast in processing all of our photos. You will not regret hiring him for amazing photos of your memories! Thank you again Gian Franco! It was one of the best decisions I made to hire him for my special occasion!

Gianfranco provided such an amazing experience from start to finish. We chose the highest package and it was worth every penny! He was excellent at communicating to arrange our photo shoot, and everything went off without an issue. He is so pleasant and fun to work with. And, the most important part, our photos are exceptional. I can’t say enough about Gianfranco’s talent and skill. These are the best picture of my husband and I that we have. I feel so fortunate to have found Gianfranco and couldn’t be happier with the pictures he took and the final photos he provided. We will definitely seek him out again when we return to Italy. He has my highest recommendation without hesitation!

We had a wonderful experience with Gianfranco! He arranged for pick up, met us at the first destination and gave us a wonderful tour of some of Rome’s most beautiful sites! He had great suggestions on poses, how to position ourselves to get as much of the beautiful scenery as possible, and a quick turn delivery! The photos he took will be cherished forever by our family, we are forever grateful for his artistic abilities and hope to work with him again someday, in Paris next time! ✨
If you’re thinking of booking his services, do it! You will NOT regret it 😃

Where do I begin? My family and I had the very best experience during our photoshoot in Rome with Gianfranco. We love this man, so just stop searching and book him now! You won't regret it. We had a blast and he understood all of our needs and requests. He knew all the right locations and unforgettable spots in Rome to take the perfect pictures. No stress and I didn't hear any nagging or complaining form my family, like I normally do. Such a nice man, on time and so so friendly. Communicated well, speaks great English and made us feel comfortable. I was nervous that he wouldn't understand a quinceanera's needs with the big dress, since it's not an Italian tradition, but he understood perfectly. We hope to go back and do it again.

I found Gianfranco online while planning my surprise proposal in Rome, and I am very glad that I did. He did an incredible job, was discrete and got amazing photos. After the actual proposal he took us to a couple local spots. He provided a handful of great pictures within a few hours after our session. Then after a week or so he provided hundreds more. Really great experience and highly recommend.

Almost 2 years after I reached out to Gianfranco for his assistance with engagement photos, I checked in to see if he would be available for a quick photoshoot for our family trip. Our time in Rome was limited as we were spending most of our time in the southern part of Italy. With his busy schedule, and his own family holiday around the same time as ours, we found an hour on our last night in Rome. We flew in from Calabria and stayed near the airport as we had an early flight back to the States the following morning. Gianfranco, picked a spot close to our hotel in the town of Ostia, which we would have never seen if it wasn’t for this opportunity. As our Uber dropped us of at the
Castello di Giulio II, Gianfranco was waiting there by the main gates to greet us. It was great to see him again! His smile and energy are infectious, which makes these photoshoots very natural and comfortable from the start. We had a blast walking around this little slice of history, while posing, laughing, and capturing a few memories as a family. There is only one person you need to contact to capture your own memories, his name is Gianfranco Catullo. He is a true master of his craft, and after a second visit with him, I can now call him a good friend!

grazie mille!!!!

Review from 09/18/2022:

After a quick Google search to find a photographer to capture our marriage proposal, I knew very quickly that Gianfranco was the right guy for the job. From the initial correspondence to the final product, everything was absolutely perfect!

Gianfranco has a very warm personality and is an incredible master of his craft. I had an idea of where and when I wanted the initial proposal to be captured. With crowds, lighting, local photo spots, and my nerves, I decided it would be best to let him have full artistic license. He helped with the planning leading up to the big moment, and it was done in a very creative way that protected the surprise.

After capturing the excitement, emotion, add passion of the proposal, we were escorted by his driver, Fabio, for a few short photoshoots at some of his favorite spots around the city. He had us so relaxed, that even in the most crowded areas, like the Trevi Fountain, we felt like we the only ones there. We had booked a few hours to capture these moments to share with our family and friends, but we didn't know in that time, that we would have made a friend in Italy along the way.

After our session, he sent us to his top pick of places for dinner to celebrate. While having one of the most incredible meals in Rome, we received a message with a few sample photos. We were absolutely blown away by the quality and emotion that he captured in each shot. A few days later, we received a file of ± 300 photo, and they far exceeded my expectations.

For the quality, the price, the overall experience, and a few hours with an overall great guy, I highly recommend Gianfranco Catullo to capture your special moment.

Gianfranco took the photos for our 10-year wedding anniversary vow renewal in Rome, and he did a phenomenal job!!! We couldn't be happier with the results. There are so many wonderful memories captured in these photos that we will cherish forever. Gianfranco was wonderful to work with and made us feel as though we were part of his family. He was flexible, accommodating, and open to making the changes we requested. Our communication was excellent with multiple calls and messages in the time leading up to the event. Gianfranco played a very large part in making our day so very special and magical. Many thanks, Gianfranco, for a day we will never forget!!!

We worked with Gianfranco for our engagement photos last week while we were in Rome on vacation. A coworker put us in touch with him after he photographed her surprise proposal and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! He was super easy to communicate with prior to meeting in person. Throughout the photo shoot his friendly personality put us at ease and he made it a lot of fun! We received preview photos later that day and the entire collection of photos a few days later. We absolutely love them!! We can't recommend Gianfranco enough!

I highly recommend Catullo Photography!

He was incredibly professional, accommodating, and went above and beyond to meet our needs. Not only was he affordable, but the quality of the shots he took was exceptional. Every moment was captured beautifully, and his attention to detail really made a difference. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who delivers great results while staying within budget, he is the perfect choice!

Gianfranco was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with. He helped my fiancé plan a surprise proposal in Rome, that turned out beautifully.

Gianfranco is kind, thoughtful and truly cares to make every client he works with feel comfortable. We had a wonderful time, walking around Rome with him, getting to know him as he chose the most beautiful spots for our engagement photos. His photos are truly stunning and we are so happy with how they turned out.

Gianfranco also took it one step further and offered suggestions on the best restaurants to visit while in Rome. We enjoyed a beautiful dinner on a rooftop watching the sunset after our engagement all thanks to him and his suggestions.

Gianfranco is an amazing person with a great personality. We were in Italy for our 10th wedding anniversary and he truly made it special. He was very patient during the photoshoot and took us to amazing locations even suggesting other sites we had not thought of. I highly recommend using his services 😁

We could not be more in love with Gianfranco’s work! He captured our proposal in the most beautiful and unique way. Not only were his pictures so beautiful, he was so amazing to work with. My new fiancé and I recommend him 100%. Don’t go to anyone else but Gianfranco if you’re looking for beautiful pictures in Italy. We will frame and cherish these pictures for the rest of our life’s! A millions thanks to Gianfranco. You will forever be special to us.

We traveled from the United States to Italy for a family vacation. We decided to have family photos done while in Rome. Gianfranco was very easy to work with and very responsive before we arrived in Italy. The experience got even better when we met him in person. Not only did he provide us with fantastic photos, he was an amazing person who made us feel comfortable. We can now say that we have a friend in Italy!

Gianfranco made our wedding day extremely special! He made our photo shoot around Rome so fun, and our pictures turned out amazing! Gianfranco and Gianluca (our driver) were the perfect duo, and we would definitely do another photo shoot with them again the next time we are in Rome. Thank you so much!

After a quick web search to find a photographer to capture our post-wedding in Rome, I realized that Gianfranco was the right guy for our session. We already amazed when he shared a very small preview of his work after the session. When we received the finalized versions of +300 photos after a few days , they far exceeded my expectations and our mouths fell open at the beauty of the photos. We could not be more in love with his work!

Gianfranco is not just a photographer, he is a wonderful person who follows his dreams and passions. Therefore, he is doing his job with love and you can see his care in each photo frame. He is the one of the most friendly, professional and chilled out person that I’ve ever met. He had us so relaxed, that even in the most crowded areas, like the Trevi Fountain,Pantheon and Castel Sant’Angelo, we felt like we the only ones there. We had booked 2 hours to capture these moments but we didn't know that we would have made a friend in Italy along the way. Our photo session was like a married couple was missed their friend abroad and met in Rome; can talk each other about art,music and other things and taking photos at the same time. Our entire morning of the shoot was relaxed, comfortable and filled with laughs.

We opted for the package including a driver and there was no stress in regards to time. We were escorted by his driver Gianluca to our selected spots and Gianfranco’s favourite spots around the city. Like Gianfranco, the driver was also amazing and made us laugh along our trip to the spots of the city.

For the quality, the price, the overall experience, and 2 hours with overall great guys, I highly recommend Gianfranco Catullo with no hesitation to capture your special moments. Millions of thanks to Gianfranco. You will forever be special to us.
