Maria Anistratova  

photographer based in Lake Como  

I’m a photographer capturing refined, elegant love stories in the heart of Italian dolce vita.
Lake Como is more than a backdrop — it’s a symbol of effortless luxury, where every frame glows with light, emotion, and cinematic beauty.
Whether it’s a proposal, an intimate wedding, or simply a day to celebrate your love, I’ll turn your moments into timeless visual poetry.

No rush. Just you, your love, and impeccable style

I am super glad that I have chosen Maria as my wedding photographer! She was not only a creative specialist, but also my support on the journey called “a wedding preparation”. Maria and her team full filled all requests and made our wishes come true! My wedding was very emotional and Maria managed to capture it in her shots, so me and my family always had a chance to relive these moments! And the photos! Love them! Highly recommend! Super fast, very client-oriented and positive! Best choice I could make! Thank you Maria and the team!

I had the pleasure of booking with Maria for a photoshoot in Lake Como, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with my experience! From the beginning, Maria was very professional and an exceptional communicator. During the shoot, Maria created such a relaxed and fun atmosphere and made it so much more enjoyable. The photos are out of this world, and Maria has a true talent for capturing emotion. Every image I received was beautifully composed, full of life, the lighting was amazing, and the details are unmatched. To top it off, I received my photos far quicker than expected, which was a wonderful surprise. Maria clearly pours her heart into her work, and it shows in every step of the process. Maria does not just take photos; she creates an experience!

Maria went above and beyond to make the shoot feel personal and special, offering great location suggestions and helping us feel like ourselves in front of the camera. The photos turned out better than we ever imagined — romantic, timeless, and full of genuine emotion. She was also incredibly professional throughout the entire process — responsive, punctual, and always kind. We feel so lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to capture meaningful moments in an aesthetic and authentic way.

Rafael C. — Elopement

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Maria and her team for our pre-wedding photoshoot at Lake Como, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Maria was thoughtful, organized, and incredibly professional. Even when the weather turned and it started to rain, she stayed calm, kept a close eye on the forecast, and adjusted the plan with so much grace and patience. Despite the challenges, she and her team made us feel relaxed and taken care of every step of the way. She showed us the photos at the moment, which are breathtaking and full of emotion, beauty, and timeless elegance. Maria truly has an eye for capturing the magic in every moment. We’re so grateful and would recommend her to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated photographer for their big day

Aili M. — Couple

Maria was incredible! So flexible, so easy to work with, and what an amazing photographer, too! We only had exactly one hour in our location, and she had us running from place to place getting the perfect shot over and over again. 10 000% would hire her again!

Valerie V. — Prewedding

Maria is communicative, punctual, and professional. She helped me throughout the booking process, recommending locations and a makeup artist. The day of the shoot, she assisted with logistics. Her posing recommendations helped us get the best shots, as we are amateurs. I could not have asked for a better photographer. My fiancé and I both felt very comfortable with her!

Gio F. — Proposal

We really liked Maria’s work, everything was done very quickly and competently, and we especially liked that she had an assistant with her who helped take cool shots :) hold the rope so that the boat wouldn’t float away or steer the boat so that there was the right angle :) The photos are perfect. We are very happy that we had such a wonderful day and memorable photos.

Loretta K. — Couple

Maria was great! She gave us ideas for poses and took us to the most amazing locations for the photoshoot! She went above and beyond with her use of multiple cameras and also her drone. We greatly enjoyed the experience, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, cosy and professional photoshoot in Italy.

Armando C. — Proposal

Maria provided an experience even more special and magical than I could have imagined. She was incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable about the best spots for photos. She was very responsive and provided me with updates as soon as she had them to continually keep me in the know. She helped me pull off the most beautiful surprise. Our photos are absolutely beautiful, her talent and dedication to getting the perfect shot cannot be matched

Viviana M.  — Honeymoon

We had an amazing experience with Maria during our photo shoot in Lake Como! She was incredibly accommodating and professional — especially when unexpected rain forced us to change locations and adjust our plans last-minute. Maria stayed calm, creative, and made the whole experience feel effortless. In just two hours, she captured such a beautiful variety of styles, backgrounds, and aesthetics — we were blown away by how much she was able to deliver. She made great suggestions that turned out beautiful in the end. Despite the weather, the photos turned out stunning, and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Her communication before and after the shoot was great. I would definitely recommend her and work with her again! Thank you, Maria!

Tinashe M.  — Proposal

We had a great experience with Maria during our proposal shoot. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable right from the start. She managed to capture the emotions of the moment perfectly, without making anything feel forced or posed. The photos turned out beautifully and really reflect how special that day was for us. We’re so happy we chose Maria, and we definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who’s both professional and easy to work with.

The Mays   — Engagement

We absolutely loved working with Maria. She captured our love so beautifully on Lake Como. She got incredible shots despite rain and a last-minute boat change. We would definitely work with her again and highly recommend her!

Kishan P.  — Proposal

Maria was amazing from the pre-planning to coordination on shoot day. We met promptly at the shoot time, and she quickly got to work, leading us to various shoot spots across Varenna. During our boat ride, she was able to coordinate with the driver to plan the various locations. Because of her, we were able to get pictures at our dream venue, Villa Balbianello. Thank you, Maria, for capturing and making our proposal picture-perfect!
