No packages to compare, no counting shots: an on-land photoshoot with a vetted local photographer costs €350 per hour, unlimited photos included — every good shot is edited and delivered. We work in villas and gardens with free entry (Villa Olmo's park, the Teresio Olivelli public park in Tremezzo, the lakefronts of Cernobbio and Varenna, Como's old town), so you don't pay entrance tickets on top of the shoot. Couples, proposals, families, solo travelers: tell us the occasion on WhatsApp, we match the photographer, and you pay on the day.
One flat rate — €350 per hour
| Duration | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| 1 hour | €350 | One location, unlimited photos — all edited |
| 2 hours | €700 | Two locations, unlimited photos — all edited |
| Extra time | €350/hour | Add as many hours as you like, same rate |
Flat rate, no hidden extras: the locations we use are free-entry, so no villa tickets. Your exact quote is confirmed on WhatsApp before booking — no surprises.

Who it's for (and who it isn't)
Made for couples, proposals, honeymoons, engagements, anniversaries and families who want proper portraits with the lake behind them — without watching the clock or counting photos.
If you want the boat as well, look at our classic photoshoot instead; this one is all on land. Camera-shy and just want holiday snaps? Honestly, the phone in your pocket is fine for that.
Honest tips
- Book the earliest slot you can tolerate. Varenna and Bellagio are empty at 7am and packed by 10am.
- Golden hour is the classic choice, but overcast days photograph beautifully here — don't cancel for clouds.
- Wear solid colors; logos and busy patterns fight with the background.
- May, June and September give warm light without peak crowds.
- Unlimited photos means the photographer keeps shooting — relax and enjoy it.
