30-Minute Session
Perfect for capturing beautiful, natural photos at one carefully chosen location. A great choice for couples, solo travellers and small families looking for a short and relaxed photoshoot.
60-Minute Session
Our most popular option, offering plenty of time for natural moments, different compositions and a variety of nearby backdrops. Ideal for couples, families, maternity and solo photoshoots.
90-Minute Session
Perfect for those who want more variety and a relaxed walk through the city. There is time for multiple backdrops, different group combinations and, where possible, an additional nearby location or outfit.
See the waterfront in Como, Villa Olmo in the same town, and the promenade in Menaggio. These are separate options for your route. Tell Travaya where you are staying and how far you want to walk before choosing the meeting point.
Combine a short waterfront walk with nearby city streets for lake views and closer portraits. Choose the distance around your session length and walking needs.
The villa pictured here is in Como. Plan only around accessible outdoor areas after the current access and photography conditions are confirmed.
The promenade, fountain and small harbour offer varied backgrounds over a short walk. Keep landing stages and paths clear for other visitors.
Explore views of Como and Menaggio: lakeside paths, a fountain, Villa Olmo and the harbour. These location photographs show settings you can discuss with Travaya when planning your own portraits. Access and the appearance of each place can change; we confirm the route for your date.
Plan your Lake Como photoshoot early in the morning or later in the day, when waterfront paths are calmer and the light across the lake and mountains is softer. Como and Menaggio are usually most relaxed during these quieter hours. Travaya checks your chosen town, season and route so direct sun, ferry crowds and busy promenades do not take over the session.
For a shoot near Villa Olmo, confirm which outdoor areas are open and suitable for the session. Plan the meeting point and walking distance around those areas, with a waterfront alternative if access changes. An older photograph shows the setting, but cannot confirm the view or conditions on your date.
Menaggio is a strong choice when you prefer a calmer route with open lake views. The promenade combines palms, flowers, a small harbour, photographs while walking and mountain views across the water. Morning often means fewer people in the background, while the waterfront can also work later in the day. Its compact size helps families and couples create variety without spending the session travelling.
Trees, flower beds and the edges of a fountain add variety to lakeside photographs. Choose plants and colours that are actually present during your visit rather than planning around a particular bloom. Your photographer can use these details in the background while you stay on the paths and outside planted areas.
Como, Bellagio and Menaggio look close on a map, but ferries, boarding time, traffic and walking distances quickly reduce your photography time. Most 30 or 60 minute sessions work best in one carefully chosen town. Meet the photographer there and build a compact route. If crossing the lake is essential, discuss a longer custom plan on WhatsApp before booking.
Soft neutrals, cream, pale blue, sage, blush, linen and warm earth tones work beautifully against Lake Como water, stone streets, greenery and flowers. Choose shoes that handle cobbles, steps and promenades comfortably. Families and couples usually look most polished in coordinated colours rather than identical outfits. Bring one light layer when the breeze near the water feels cooler than expected.
Share where you are staying, who is joining and whether you prefer Como, Bellagio or Menaggio before the shoot. Mention mobility needs, children, proposal secrecy or any fixed ferry plans as well. Travaya uses those details to help choose the start time, meeting point, session length and realistic route, so your photographer can focus on the experience instead of solving logistics on arrival.

Questions? WhatsApp UsEverything you need to know about booking a photographer at Lake Como
Travaya packages at Lake Como start from $279. The price depends on the session type and duration you choose; check the package details for the included photographs. Your private session includes a local photographer, guidance during the shoot, edited images and delivery in a private online gallery within 5 days.
Start with the town where you are staying. Como combines waterfront and city streets, Menaggio offers a compact promenade, and Varenna and Bellagio provide village settings. Travaya helps choose the route for your preferred scenery, walking distance and arrival plans. A named villa needs its own access check.
You can plan solo portraits, couple and family photographs, maternity memories, engagement pictures or a proposal. Your photographer gives simple guidance, so previous posing experience is unnecessary. For children or a maternity session, tell Travaya about the pace and breaks you need.
Morning or late afternoon often gives softer light, but the best time depends on the shore, season and shade from the surrounding hills. Travaya plans the start around your chosen route and arrival time. An early session can reduce crowds without guaranteeing an empty promenade.
Choose 30 minutes for one compact area, 60 for nearby settings, or 90 for a more relaxed pace. Normally stay in one town: ferries, boarding and walking between stops use time that could go into photographs. Agree any transfer separately, including its cost and effect on the schedule.
Yes. Villa Monastero requires photography reservations at least 14 days ahead. Venue charges are separate from the photographer’s package; exclusive areas need a specific arrangement. Other villas have their own rules. Tell Travaya your preferred venue before booking so that access, permission and the complete cost can be checked.
Wear colours you enjoy, with comfortable shoes for paving and steps. Cream, pale blue, sage and soft pink work well beside the water and greenery. Coordinate outfits without needing to match exactly. Bring a light jacket for the breeze, and mention any walking or pushchair needs before the route is fixed.
Choose your preferred package and contact Travaya on WhatsApp with your date, group size and the kind of photographs you want. We confirm availability, duration, route, meeting point and the final quote before you commit. Mention access needs or a surprise proposal early. Ask about any additional venue costs and the applicable change or cancellation terms before booking.
Travaya’s in-house editing team prepares your photos in our natural, warm style. You receive the edited images within 5 days in a private online gallery, ready to download, print and share. Your booking specifies the number of included photographs.
Choose the part of Lake Como you would like to remember: a promenade near your hotel, a village you enjoy exploring or a garden arranged in advance. Travaya helps turn that choice into a comfortable route. Your photographer then works with the light, scenery and your own expressions to create photographs of your time together.
The most personal Lake Como photoshoot does not always begin in the town with the biggest reputation. It may begin near the hotel where you wake up to the water, the promenade you already enjoy or the village you chose for a reason. Travaya starts with that real connection, then checks whether the surrounding streets, shoreline and walking distances can support the gallery you want. This keeps the experience part of your stay instead of turning it into a separate day of ferry queues and transfers.
Plan Your Lake Como PhotoshootComo works well when you want to stay near the town rather than build your day around a ferry. Choose a section of the waterfront for lake views, then use nearby streets for closer portraits with stonework and doorways behind you. Your photographer can alternate open scenery with shade and architectural details. Travaya agrees the walking distance and meeting point in advance, so the route suits your session length and the people taking part.
View Lake Como packagesVilla Olmo is in the town of Como. Its pale façade and gardens give a different setting from the waterfront, but the municipality currently lists the villa as closed for restoration. Access to the park needs checking for your date and chosen area. Travaya can consider the parts that are open and suitable for photography, with an alternative by the lake agreed beforehand. Interior access and the exact view shown in an older photograph should not be assumed.
Add Villa Olmo to Your PlanMenaggio offers lake views, a small harbour and a flower-lined promenade within a manageable area. Start near Piazza Garibaldi and choose a short stretch of the waterfront rather than rushing through every corner. The fountain, railings and mountains help your photographer vary the backgrounds while keeping you close to the camera. Leave working landing stages clear and allow passing visitors room. A comfortable pace makes this a useful option for families and couples.
Discover Menaggio for PhotosIn Varenna, colourful façades and the lakeside path offer different settings within the same village. The Passeggiata degli Innamorati and the lanes towards Piazza San Giorgio are possible starting points for planning, depending on access and how many steps you want to take. Your photographer can mix views across the water with closer portraits along the route. Travaya checks the meeting point and walking time, allowing for your arrival before the session begins.
Plan a Varenna PhotoshootVilla Monastero in Varenna needs its own venue arrangement before it becomes part of your shoot. A photography booking and venue fee are required in addition to arranging your photographer. Within the agreed area and time, garden paths and lake views can create a varied series of portraits. Stay on permitted paths: the steps down to the lake are restricted. Travaya helps coordinate the plan, including any wish for an exclusive space, before the location is confirmed.
View Lake Como packagesWater and mountains look magnificent to the eye, yet they can sit far behind you in a photograph and make people feel small. This is where a skilled Lake Como photographer adds real value. Flowers, railings, arches, harbour walls and piers create layers that lead the eye through the frame instead of leaving a flat strip of blue behind the portrait. By changing height, distance and focal length, the photographer keeps the landscape impressive while making your expressions and connection the clear centre of the image.
Create a Layered Lake Como GalleryA gallery made only of water views can become repetitive, however beautiful the water is. Como’s arcades, Menaggio’s village street and Varenna’s coloured walls give the story a human scale; gardens, old doors and shaded steps create closer moments before the next wide reveal. During the photoshoot, your photographer alternates those intimate scenes with open Lake Como landscapes. That contrast makes the lake feel larger when it returns and gives you photographs of the places and details you enjoyed during your stay.
View Lake Como packagesChoose 30 minutes for one focused waterfront or village cluster, 60 minutes for a connected route with meaningful visual changes, or 90 minutes when you want a gentler pace and a fuller Lake Como story. Travaya matches you with a vetted photographer and confirms the town, timing, meeting point and atmosphere through WhatsApp before the session. Your private photoshoot stays relaxed and easy to follow, while the edited photographs arrive within 5 days in a private online gallery, ready to download and share.
