Villa del Balbianello Proposal Photographer

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
