Lake Como

Couple photography among villas and mountains

The lake is as still as a mirror. The mountains are reflected in the water and a boat leaves a thin trail behind it.

On Lake Como everything moves more slowly. Villas with gardens, small harbours, stone villages beneath the Alps.

Why Lake Como

Elegance with the Alps as a backdrop

Lake Como combines the grandeur of historic villas with the nature of the mountains.

For a couple this means calm and elegance: a garden overlooking the lake, a ride in a wooden boat, an alley in Bellagio.

It suits an after-wedding session, a pre-wedding shoot or an elopement, with a wooden boat and a villa in the background.

The light

Three times of day at Lake Como

On the lake the light changes with the mountains and the water. Mornings are serene and clear, afternoons warm and golden.

Sunrise

The mirror

The lake perfectly still, the mountains reflected, complete silence.

Morning

The villages

Cobbles, small harbours and sunlight on the façades.

Sunset

The water

Golden light on the lake, the time for a boat ride.

The places

Where we photograph

We plan the route together, depending on the light, the ferry timetables and how much you want to move around.

BellagioThe "pearl" of the lake, with steps and alleys.
VarennaColourful houses on the water and the lakeside promenade.
Villa del BalbianelloGardens and terraces on a peninsula. Photography requires a permit in advance.
Villa CarlottaGardens in bloom, especially beautiful in spring.

Before you travel

Seasons, timing and what to wear

When to come

From April to October. Spring brings gardens in bloom and autumn warm colours on the mountains. In winter many villas and hotels close.

The time that matters

We start early, when the lake is still and the villages are empty. We keep the afternoon for the water.

Styling

Classic Italian elegance: flowing dresses, light-coloured suits, linen. Pastels and white blend with the villas and the green of the gardens.

The experience with us

We know the lake from the shore and from the water

We have photographed couples here, and we come in every season. We know which village empties first, when the wind picks up on the lake and how to combine the ferries so we do not lose time. So you can simply enjoy your day, and we take care of the rest.

Before the tripWe talk about dates, styling and the kind of images that move you. We plan the route together.
First light on the lakeWe start while the water is still and the villages are asleep.

A breakA meal by the water, rest while the light is strong.
