Book a Honeymoon Photoshoot
in Lake Como

Professional photoshoots at Lake Como start from €279. Packages vary by duration and the number of edited photos — from a single-village session in Varenna or Bellagio to a longer shoot moving between towns along the lake.

Varenna's lakefront promenade — the Passeggiata degli Innamorati — and its pastel harbour, Bellagio's stone lanes and the Punta Spartivento where the lake's branches meet, the gardens of Villa del Balbianello on its wooded peninsula, and the quieter waterfronts of Menaggio. Ferries between the villages are part of the charm and make great in-between shots.

Spring and autumn give Como its finest light — clear air, calm morning water and gardens in colour — while summer works best early, before the day visitors arrive. Mornings mean still, mirror-like water; golden hour turns the lake and the mountains behind it amber. Photographers on the lake plan sessions around exactly these windows.

One of the best in Italy. A dawn proposal on Varenna's waterfront or at Bellagio's Punta Spartivento gives you soft light, still water and almost no onlookers, with your photographer positioned discreetly in advance. A private boat session afterwards adds the villa-lined shore seen from the water — for typical small sessions in public areas no permit is usually needed, and local photographers know the rules.

Many couples book their photoshoot for the second or third day of their honeymoon, once they've settled in, recovered from jet lag, and explored the area a bit. This timing also gives you a weather buffer — if rain is forecast for day two, you can easily shift to day three or four. Evening golden hour sessions are the most popular for honeymooners, typically starting 1-2 hours before sunset for the warmest, most romantic light. If your honeymoon involves multiple cities (a common Italy itinerary is Rome, Siena, then the Amalfi Coast or Florence), consider booking a session in the city that excites you most visually. Photo Italy makes it easy to book — simply choose your preferred date and time during checkout and your photographer will confirm within 24 hours.

Most honeymoon packages on Photo Italy include 60-120 minutes of professional photography, 50-100+ individually edited high-resolution photos delivered digitally to your own private online gallery, and a pre-shoot consultation to plan locations, timing, and styling. Photos are typically delivered within 1-3 weeks, with many photographers offering expedited delivery or a sneak peek of 5-10 images within 48 hours. Some photographers offer premium add-ons like handcrafted photo books, fine-art prints, or even a short cinematic video clip. All images come with full personal-use digital rights so you can print, share, and post freely. Delivery timelines and specific inclusions are clearly displayed on each photographer's package page on Photo Italy.
