On the lake

The lake sets the timetable. We plan around it.

On Lake Como the light moves from shore to shore. Tremezzo and Lenno on the western side get the soft morning sun; Varenna, across the water, keeps the evening glow. We time your portraits to your shore, and to the boats and ferries that carry you between the ceremony and the dinner.

The rest of the day we simply watch: the vows, the speech that runs long, the laugh nobody saw coming. When it is time for portraits, we tell you where to stand and how to turn, so you never have to guess.

Every gallery is edited by Julia herself, so the story holds together from the first frame to the last.

The day

A Lake Como wedding day, from villa to boat

Morning

Getting ready above the water.

A villa room or a hotel balcony, the dress by the window, the lake already in the frame.

Ceremony

We go quiet.

In a villa garden, a town hall or on a terrace for a symbolic ceremony. The vows, the first kiss, your mother watching. Nobody is asked to pause, repeat a moment or look at the camera.

By boat

The ride everyone remembers.

A wooden boat between the ceremony and the dinner: the two of you, the wake, the villas passing by. Family portraits happen before you board, quickly, from a list we build together.

Golden hour

We steal the two of you away.

On the western shore the sun slips behind the mountains early; on the eastern side it lingers. We know where the light will be and take you there, with no audience.

Evening

Dinner on the terrace.

The lake goes dark and the lights come on across the water. Speeches, first dance, champagne: the part of the night when everyone forgets there is a camera.

Who will photograph you

We are Anatoly & Julia

Anatoly and Julia, husband and wife from Odesa. Since 2019 we have photographed more than 3,000 couples across Europe, from city elopements to whole wedding days by the water.

On a Lake Como wedding day one of us, or both of us together, stays with you from getting ready to the last dance. We plan the day around the boats, the ferries and the light, and we take a limited number of weddings each year, so you get our full attention.

Kind words

What couples say after the gallery arrives

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our Milan wedding. The team was incredible from start to finish. They knew exactly where to take us for the most breathtaking shots. Every photo tells a part of our story, and we’re so grateful.

Wedding in Milan

The rain on our wedding day could have been a disaster, but you turned it into something magical. The photos are romantic, atmospheric, and simply stunning. Your flexibility and positive attitude made all the difference.

Wedding in Milan

Choosing you as our wedding photographers was the best decision we made. The photos are incredible, each one capturing the essence of our love and the beauty of Milan. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever.

Wedding in Milan

Getting married on Lake Como

A civil wedding or a symbolic ceremony

The legal route

A civil wedding takes place at a town hall on the lake, such as Como, Bellagio or Tremezzina, or at a villa the town has approved. Foreign couples prepare a declaration of intent and translated, legalised documents; a local planner makes it simple.

A symbolic ceremony

Sign the papers at home and marry here without the formalities: vows on a villa terrace, in a garden above the water or on a wooden boat, at the hour with the best light.

Where we photograph

Our favourite places for wedding photography on Lake Como

Villa del Balbianello

Villa del Balbianello

The loggia and terraced gardens at the tip of the Lavedo peninsula. Its lakeside setting is just as beautiful from a boat.

Villa Carlotta

Terraced gardens, rhododendrons in spring and a staircase straight down to the lake in Tremezzo.

Bellagio

Stepped lanes, the lakefront and villa gardens at the point where the lake’s three branches meet.

Villa Olmo, Como

A neoclassical villa with a statue-lined lakefront terrace, under an hour from Milan.

Varenna

Colourful houses above the water and the lakeside walkway, a short ferry ride from Bellagio.

Milan

Getting married in the city? See our Milan weddings: the Duomo, the Galleria and Brera.

Questions

Wedding questions, answered

Before you book

Tell us your date and where on the lake you are getting married, and we will reply within a day. From May to September the best Lake Como dates go early, so write as soon as you have yours.

It depends on how much of the day you want covered and whether you need one photographer or two. For weddings on Lake Como, tell us about your wedding and we’ll reply within a day with our 2026/27 collections and prices. Everything is agreed up front, with no surprises later.

By ferry, taxi boat or car. Public ferries link Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio and Tremezzo, and private taxi boats go anywhere on the water. We build the photo timetable around whichever you choose, so nobody waits on a pier.

Your day on Lake Como

Yes, with some planning. The villa belongs to FAI, the Italian National Trust: visits need a ticket booked in advance, and in 2026 it is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. Weddings and professional shoots inside are arranged with the villa directly. The loggia is just as beautiful from the water, and a boat needs no ticket.

Late afternoon into golden hour, when the light turns warm on the water and the mountains soften. Morning is calmest on the lake if you add a boat. We plan your timeline around the light, so you don’t have to.

On Lake Como it can change within an hour. Villas have loggias and covered terraces, wooden boats have canopies, and we keep a covered plan for every part of the day, so you are never deciding at the last minute. Soft light after rain on the water is often the best of the day.

Almost anywhere with a view. A legal ceremony takes place at a town hall or at a villa the town has approved for civil weddings; a symbolic ceremony can be held on a terrace, in a garden or on a boat. Villa Carlotta, Villa Olmo, Bellagio and Varenna are among the places we love to photograph.

Eloping

Yes. Just the two of you, or a handful of guests: vows on a villa terrace, in a garden or on a boat, then portraits across the lake. See eloping on Lake Como above, and tell us about your wedding for the collections.
