Hire a Lake Como Photographer for Your Photoshoot

Villas, gardens and colorful villages on the water, with the mountains behind. On Lake Como we photograph in Varenna, Bellagio and along the lakefront, and on a boat if you book one. Your photographer plans the spots around the ferry times and the light, and guides every pose.

What a Lake Como photoshoot looks like

Lake Como is not one spot but a string of villages connected by ferries. We usually pick one or two of them for your session, with lakeside promenades, narrow stairways and gardens, so you don’t spend your time on the water traffic. Golden hour on the lake is unforgettable.

Shoots on the lake include a travel fee from Milan, which we confirm before you book.

Proposals and elopements on Lake Como

Lake Como is one of the most romantic places in Europe to ask the question or to say your vows just the two of you. Tell us your plan and we’ll suggest the spot and the hour.

What Travelers Say About Their Photoshoots

CC N.

My family and I had a wonderful time with Anatoli. He was communicative, easy to work with, planned the whole route, and made us (including our baby) feel very comfortable. We LOVED how the pictures came out. Best experience ever. Thank you so much. We love Lisbon even more!

Bianca M.

I felt completely comfortable from the very beginning. The photographer was incredibly kind and made sure I felt at ease throughout the entire shoot. She even carried my bag and belongings the whole time so I could fully focus on the experience.

I’m not used to professional photoshoots and often had no idea how to pose, but she guided me through everything and made me feel so comfortable that I could simply relax and enjoy it. …

I received the finished photos within a week and I’m absolutely thrilled with the result. …

Anna B.

We did a family photoshoot in Lison, and had such a wonderful experience! Really love how our photos turned out!
Anatolii was our photographer, and he was so great to work with! Communication was seamless. Very responsive and provided lots of great tips prior to the shoot. Also on the day of the shoot Anatolii had lots of recommendations for posing ideas which was super helpful.
Will gladly work with them again in the future! Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a photographer in Lisbon!

Annie L.

Wonderful experience! I did a maternity shoot with my partner. The time of day and location suggested were ideal, it felt relaxed and organic, and the results were exactly what I was hoping for. Amazing photographer 💗

Jake H.

Fifi was incredible, she made the experience perfect, couldn’t have gone any better from our side. Capturing one of the best moments of our life was the best decision. Julia was also amazing up front before the engagement giving me tips of how to get the best shots but keeping it completely natural. Can’t thank you both enough again!!!

Nakeita T.

We had such a wonderful experience with Anna for our engagement photos in Italy! We live in Canada, so naturally there can be a little hesitation when booking a photographer abroad—you’re leaving Italy and trusting someone to deliver photos that capture such an important moment. Anna completely put those concerns to rest.

She was punctual, professional, reliable, and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. Neither of us knows how to pose, but she guided us throughout the entire shoot and made everything feel so natural and effortless.

Our photos came out absolutely beautiful, and she delivered them to us in a timely manner just as promised. We couldn’t be happier with both the photos and the overall experience. If you’re travelling to Italy and considering booking Anna, especially from abroad, you can feel confident that you’re in trustworthy and professional hands. We highly recommend her! 🤍

FAQ

Questions Before You Book?

Everything you need to feel confident before your session — and we’re a message away for the rest.

How far in advance should I book?

Two to four weeks ahead is ideal, especially for spring, summer and proposals. Last-minute trips often work too, so write to us even if you fly out next week.

We've never posed for photos. Will it look natural?

Most of our clients say exactly that before the shoot. Your photographer directs every pose and gesture, from where to look to what to do with your hands, so you can relax and just be together.

When will I receive my photos?

Within 14 days of your session, in a private online gallery you can download and share. Behind-the-scenes videos from the shoot come the same day.

What is your cancellation policy?

A small deposit holds your date, and the rest is paid on the day. Cancel more than 14 days before the shoot and we refund the deposit. Closer than that, the deposit isn’t refunded, but it never expires: you can move your date.

What if the weather is bad?

We watch the forecast with you. A little cloud often gives the softest light, but if rain makes the shoot impossible, we move it to another day or time for free.

Can I choose my photographer?

Yes. Tell us the style you like and we’ll suggest the photographer in your city and send their recent galleries before you book.

Do you photograph surprise proposals?

Yes, it’s one of our favorite things. We plan the spot and the signal with you, blend in like tourists, catch the question and the reaction, and then photograph you both as a newly engaged couple. Proposal sessions start at $525.

Are there any extra costs?

The price covers the photographer, planning, editing and your gallery. Spots outside the city center, like a villa on Lake Como or the coast near Lisbon, can carry a travel fee. We always tell you before you book.
