Paula & Ethan · Lake Como, Italy
02 / Beginning in Varenna
A couple photoshoot in Varenna: where their lake story began.
After arriving by train from Milan, Paula & Ethan began their Lake Como couple photoshoot in Varenna. Colourful waterfront buildings, stone arches and views across the water set the scene for the first chapter of their session.
Waterfront & Village Portraits
Along the water.
Beneath the arches.
In Varenna, the photographs move between open lake views and closer architectural settings. Warm façades bring colour to the wider frames, while stone doorways and the waterfront railings create different perspectives for the portraits.
Paula & Ethan’s first chapter combines walking together, quiet embraces and close portraits. The lake stays present throughout, sometimes filling the frame, sometimes appearing beyond the village.
03 / Crossing the Lake
From Varenna to Bellagio: a story on the water.
After their portraits in Varenna, Paula & Ethan took the ferry to Bellagio. The crossing became another chapter of their Lake Como couple photoshoot: photographs by the windows, quiet moments on board and views of the lake along the way.
The Journey Between Two Villages
By the window.
Across the lake.
On board, the setting changes from village streets to reflections, window frames and water. The photographs follow Paula & Ethan through that transition, bringing the journey itself into their story.
Wider frames show the ferry interior, while closer portraits focus on a look, a smile or a moment together beside the glass. Colour and black-and-white images connect this crossing with the chapters on either shore.
04 / Arriving in Bellagio
Couple portraits in Bellagio: from village streets to lake views.
After crossing from Varenna by ferry, Paula & Ethan continued their Lake Como photoshoot in Bellagio. Narrow streets, colourful façades and portraits beside the water brought a different setting to the next chapter of their story.
Village Streets & Lakeside Moments
Through the village.
Back to the water.
In Bellagio, the photographs move between the village and the shoreline. Close architectural frames give way to wider views, with the lake and mountains becoming part of the portraits again.
Walking hand in hand, pausing on a street and sitting together beside the water: this chapter combines movement with quieter moments. The changing settings add variety while keeping Paula & Ethan at the centre of the story.
05 / The Quiet Moments
Between the places, the moments that belong to them.
A smile beside the water, hands resting together, a pause in an embrace. Across Varenna, the ferry crossing and Bellagio, these closer photographs bring Paula & Ethan’s connection into focus.
Connection & Personal Details
The landscape around them.
The feeling between them.
A Lake Como couple photoshoot has room for sweeping views and smaller gestures. As the framing moves closer, the shoreline and village become a backdrop to an expression, a touch or the way two people lean together.
These portraits connect the different chapters of the session. Colour holds the warmth of the surroundings; black and white brings attention to faces, hands and the shape of an embrace.
