About this experience

A romantic couple photoshoot to document your time on Lake Como, Italy. Whether you are here for your honeymoon, an anniversary, a marriage proposal... I can guide you through the process of finding the best path and create pictures to cherish.

I will suggest historical quaint towns around the Lake, hidden locations, and some places you can't miss, based on where you are staying and where we start. You also have the option of adding a luxury boat ride or a villas as a background (at an additional fee). I guide you on how to interact with the camera in the most natural way and I will try and catch those special natural moments between you two.

The result will be a selection of about 60 edited photos delivered via a beautiful online gallery.

If you are interested in a two hours shoot, including different locations, let me know and I will give you more info.
