How I Work as a Photographer at Hilton Lake Como
My approach focuses on creating a visual experience that feels curated without appearing staged. I guide couples with gentle suggestions and work with the architecture, reflections, textures, and available light to produce elegant and authentic imagery. At Hilton Lake Como I tend to use:
- soft directional window light for intimate portraits
- the pool terrace and rooftop views for iconic scenes
- clean backgrounds and symmetrical lines for editorial compositions
- movement and interaction rather than static poses
The goal is to create a sequence of images that feels effortless, elegant, and emotionally connected to the couple.

This creates a complete storytelling gallery without complex logistics.
