Capturing your LOVE is my job!
Proposal & Wedding Photographer in Lake Como
Hi there, nice to see you here! :)
I’m Angelina! I was born in Russia, studied in the Netherlands, and eventually found my home in Milan, Italy. Love brought me here—I got married to an Italian man on the shores of Lake Como, and now I’m lucky enough to live surrounded by beauty, art, and inspiration every day.
My photography journey began a few years ago. Now, every day, I get to witness real emotions—the tears of joy during proposals, the laughter and happiness at weddings—and I couldn’t imagine a more rewarding job.
I also speak four languages, which allows me to connect with international couples and make every session feel relaxed, natural, and truly enjoyable.

Questions and answers
How can I book a shoot?
Booking is simple! Just send me a message, and we’ll agree on a date and time for your photoshoot. I will then send you a contract to secure your booking. A deposit of 50% is required to confirm your reservation.
Once the contract is signed and the deposit is paid, we can start planning your shoot in detail. The remaining balance is due before the session.
I operate an official business in Italy and provide a formal invoice for every service.
Can I cancel or reschedule a shoot?
Rescheduling is possible up to 24 hours before the scheduled shoot and only in case of bad weather. Please contact me as soon as possible to arrange a new date.
If you need to cancel, please note that the deposit is non-refundable.
I strive to make the process smooth and clear, so we can ensure your photoshoot goes perfectly.
Do you help with planning a proposal?
I absolutely assist with everything related to the photoshoot: timing, location recommendations, and shoot planning. I’m also happy to share contacts of trusted vendors around Lake Como and Milan.
However, if you’re looking for help with planning the entire experience—such as choosing and booking a location within your budget, arranging a boat, makeup artist, florist, musicians, or a restaurant for a post-shoot dinner—you might consider our additional planning and coordination service provided by my team.
Do I need any permits for photoshoots in Lake Como?
Quite often, yes. Many private villas, gardens, and boat services—particularly in the Lake Como area—require advance permission for photography. Please be aware that a photography permit for the Villa Nalbianello starts from 400 euros, for the Villa Monstero from 300 euros, and from the Villa Melzi from 420 euros; these permits are not included in my photography fees and must be arranged by a client. Since the most sought-after locations fill up fast, it’s always best to arrange access well ahead of time.
What time of the day is best for photos?
he most flattering light usually happens shortly after sunrise or just before sunset. Because lighting shifts quickly here, choosing the right moment can transform photos from simply beautiful into truly striking, editorial-quality imagery.
What happens if it rains?
Weather here can shift unexpectedly, so there’s no need to worry. I always prepare a backup option—this could be a sheltered location, an alternative spot, or an adjusted schedule—so we can still create beautiful images regardless of conditions.
Can our photos be private?
As the photographer, I retain full copyright to the images and reserve the right to use them in my portfolio, website, and social media.
If you prefer to keep your photos completely private and not shared publicly, a 50% privacy fee applies. Please let me know in advance if you would like to add this option to your booking.

We can’t thank Angelina enough! 🥰 Our engagement shoot at Villa Balbianello was incredible, even with the heavy rain that lasted all two hours — she made everything look magical despite the challenging weather. And our wedding photoshoot on the boat was absolutely stunning — every moment captured beautifully. Angelina is simply the best! Woohoo, thank you!!

Angelina was amazing! From start to finish, she helped guide and was instrumental in making my proposal photoshoot a success, even when issues arose, having to change venues, etc, she was there to help with all suggestions and responsive to all my questions. I’m terrible and awkward in front of a camera, but she’s able to make it a comfortable and fun experience for me and my fiancée, helping us pose for beautiful shots at the same time, capturing the candid moments of fun. It was such a pleasant experience and I would 100% recommend. Book her!

We couldn’t be happier with our engagement photos! Maria captured every moment so beautifully and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the shoot. She went above and beyond to make our session special — from being incredibly flexible with timing to helping us bring our vision to life. The photos turned out absolutely amazing, and we’ll treasure them forever. Highly recommend!
