Per la mia esperienza con Leonilda lascio ben cinque stelle ma, se si potesse, le dedicherei un'intera costellazione!
Mi sono rivolta a lei per far sì che i suoi scatti potessero custodire, con estrema naturalezza, le emozioni di un momento importante...ed il risultato è andato ben oltre le mie aspettative!
Ho ricevuto ( in breve tempo) una varietà di foto stupende, senza la necessità di location particolari che facessero da sfondo.
Con garbo, empatia ed estrema delicatezza è riuscita subito a mettermi a mio agio e le sue preziose indicazioni mi hanno permesso di vivere una giornata senza l'imbarazzo che potrebbe crearsi quando ci si lascia fotografare da qualcuno che non si conosce prima.
Una vera professionista ed una persona meravigliosa!

Leonilda is a talented photographer with great vision and ideas for photoshoots in Ischia! I have had two photoshoots with her and she produced wonderful photos from both! She worked with me beforehand to make sure that she would execute what my vision was and she has great suggestions! Leonilda will take you to the best spots on the island for locations and create a fun experience! I had my kids for one shoot and they both had the most fun photographing with her. As both a client and wedding planner, I personally and professionally suggest Leonilda as a photographer to work with.

I don't even know where to start!

Leonilda was AMAZING from start to finish. I reached out to her 4 months in advance to see if she would be interested in taking photos for my proposal in Ischia, and she went above and beyond ever since then.

First, she set up multiple connects with me to make sure we had a solid plan in place for the proposal, and continued to act as an advisor for me throughout the whole process outside of just the photographs. She gave me tips and tricks on all things Italy travel, recommended a beautiful estate for my fiancé and I to stay at that was not even open due to it being the off season (she spoke with the owner and got them to open it for us), and pulled together a whole "must see / do in Ischia" google map that made our trip to Ischia that much better.

One of the biggest highlights for me was when she went out of her way to pick us up from the port and drove us around Ischia to the estate we stayed in. She DID NOT have to do this, but she did, and continued to be a joy to be around as we got in to the proposal and photographs.

I can go on and on. The experience was magical, and Leonilda was a massive piece in making our time in Ischia perfect. She is amazing to be around, genuinely cares about her work, and takes AMAZING PHOTOS. My fiancé and I have gotten endless compliments on the photos she took, and she turned them around in less than 48 hours.

I'd recommend Leonilda to anyone. I feel so fortunate to have found her. Don't hesitate if you are considering working with her.

Words cannot express how grateful we feel to have found Leonilda and to have had her as part of our special day. From the very beginning, she was warm, kind, thorough, efficient and had thought of every detail to make everything flow perfectly and be stress-free. All of our family and friends raved about Leonilda's professionalism, good humour and amazing talent as a photographer - she felt like family! She took us to a beautiful location to get the photos after our wedding ceremony and ensured we were back with our family to enjoy time with them. Our developed photos turned out better than we could have dreamed. Her communication throughout the whole process has been outstanding and we feel so lucky to have found her. We highly recommend Leonilda and her team!

Leonilda could not have been more perfect of a photographer for our engagement photos!! She was so phenomenal, I can't speak highly enough about her! She went above and beyond to put my mind at ease when the weather forecast was looking really bad for our shoot time. She was flexible in meeting time, gave great outfit tips, bought us gelato for a part of the shoot, and made us feel so comfortable! She also walked around the entire town showing us the best spots to take pictures! We had such a fun time!! And the pictures turned out to be amazing which I will cherish forever. Highly recommend to anyone considering to book with Vive Fotografié to just do it because you will be so happy you did!!

Leonilda did such an incredible job with our engagement photos! I had a very specific vision in mind, standing on a cliff overlooking the ocean, with the wind in my hair and the ocean below; she brought that dream to life perfectly. She went above and beyond by researching and finding the exact spot that matched what I had envisioned. The moment I walked up, I thought to myself, this is everything I could possibly want.

From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable and at ease. I was a little nervous going into the shoot, but as soon as I met her, she calmed my nerves and guided me through every pose with confidence and patience. You can tell she has a strong photography background, she knew exactly how to adapt to the lighting, the scenery, and even my outfit and eye color to make sure everything complemented perfectly.

The photos turned out absolutely stunning, better than I could have ever imagined. I’m so happy with how they captured both the emotion and the breathtaking view. We plan to have several of them printed and framed in our home.

I would highly recommend Leonilda to anyone looking for a photographer who you can trust, understands your vision, and brings it to life in the most beautiful way possible. These photos are everything I dreamed of and more!

We found Leonilda on Instagram and could not have had a better experience during our couples shoot while vacationing in Ischia. She went above and beyond—picking us up from our hotel and taking us through Forio, where she not only captured beautiful moments but also gave us a mini tour with history along the way. Her English is perfect, her communication was flawless, and she was incredibly responsive from the very first message. I loved that she provided a contract and only required payment during the session. She made us feel so comfortable, and the entire experience was top-notch. We haven’t even seen the photos from yesterday yet, but we already know we’d recommend her to anyone!

Leonilda / Viva Fotografie was fabulous to work with and our photographs were incredible. She skillfully captured the five of us individually, in smaller groups, and as a whole family. She planned our sitting meticulously while also allowing for flexibility and customization based on our preferences and opportunity. She prepared a customized photographic script that honored the island, its native beauty, its historic architecture, and respected the lives and schedules of the residents of a community she knows well and clearly adores.Her images were emotionally resonant, creative and beautiful. I recommend Viva Fotografie without reservation!

THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER AND VIDEOGRAPHER IN ISCHIA.

After reviewed the absolutely incredible portfolio, I knew Viva Fotografie would be the photographers I could trust to capture my proposal and engagement. They spent so much time and thought in creating a great proposal idea with several options. The actual day it self went so smoothly and was such a lively experience. The final product was incredible, so many unreal photos capturing this important moment in mine and my fiancés lives. I can’t recommend them enough.

You guys must choose them if you need any professional photos or videos!!!

Che giornata indimenticabile che è stata quella del mio matrimonio! Me ne rendo conto ancora di più quando riguardo le foto. Posso custodire, grazie all'attenzione di Leonilda, tanti dettagli che presa dall'euforia non avevo notato. È stata parte della festa e non avrei mai potuto scegliere di meglio! Una vera roccia per una giornata così carica di emozioni!

We had the most wonderful experience with Leonilda during our engagement party in Ischia! She was incredibly warm, friendly, and professional from the moment we met her. She captured every special moment with such care and attention, and even took us aside for a few beautiful shots by the water. She made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and we couldn’t be happier with the memories she created for us. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and genuinely kind photographer in Ischia!

We are blown away by Leonilda's work. She made us feel super welcome on her island during the day of the photoshoot, and took the time to get to know us and our vibe. During the photoshoot, she was very easygoing and worked with me and my partner to make sure we felt comfortable in front of the camera for our first photoshoot. The finished pictures were delivered earlier than expected and were exactly what we had hoped for.

Leonilda helped create a special and memorable moment which myself and my partner will forever cherish. Very professional and gave clear directions/ guidance on the lead up to the day, as well as during the shoot itself. Never hesitate to book Leonilda for any photography needs.

Leonilda did an amazing job with our family photos. She is an excellent photographer, extremely professional and so kind! We love how she captured the beauty of my husband's hometown in Ischia. We will most definitely use her in the future when we return to Ischia and wish she had been our wedding photographer ten years ago.

We had the absolute best experience with Leonilda. My friend and I did something a little unconventional and booked a best friend photo shoot while visiting Ischia, and Leonilda immediately rose to the occasion. She was so easy to communicate with from the very beginning, and her English is flawless, which made planning everything a breeze.

On the day of the shoot, she came to meet us at our Airbnb, so we wouldn't have to worry about figuring out taxis and a meeting spot. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the process, even though neither of us had ever done anything like this before. She guided us with clear prompts and natural poses, and her ideas were not only creative but truly captured our personalities.

The photos are gorgeous, full of depth, warmth, and character, and I know I’ll treasure them for the rest of my life. Leonilda also took us to a few beautiful, lesser-known locations around the island and shared fun facts and stories along the way, which made the whole experience even more memorable.

I would absolutely recommend hiring her. She is incredibly talented, kind, and just a joy to be around. Thank you, Leonilda, for giving us such special memories.

Me and my fiancé had the most beautiful experience with Leonilda, who captured the most magical moments of my surprise wedding proposal in Ischia! From the beginning, Leonilda's involvement was extraordinary. She helped my fiancé organize every detail remotely, ensuring that everything was perfect.
On the day of the proposal, Leonilda's role as a "tour guide" with a passion for photography was brilliant! Her enthusiasm and genuine personality kept me clueless, making the surprise reveal even more special.
The photographs Leonilda took are breathtaking. She has an incredible eye for detail and a talent for capturing the essence of the moment, making the photos truly remarkable.
Her fun, warm personality made the experience even more enjoyable, and we felt incredibly comfortable with her.
If you are looking for a photographer who is not only exceptional but also an absolute joy to be around, look no further than Leonilda, we cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you for giving us memories that we will treasure forever!
