ABOUT ME

I’m Maria Anistratova, a photographer based in Northern Italy, specializing in elopements, intimate weddings and couples on Lake Como.

For my clients, I do much more than photography. I help plan the entire experience — choosing the right locations, creating the itinerary, arranging villas and private boats, and connecting you with trusted local vendors for hair and makeup, florals, videography, content creation and other services.

I know Lake Como well and understand its logistics, from villa access and opening hours to boat routes and the best timing for each location. My goal is to make the planning easier for you and create a beautiful, well-organized day that feels personal to you.

HOW IT WORKS

Start by sending me your preferred date or date range, the locations you have in mind, any photos or references you love, and the approximate budget you would like to work with.

Every collection can be adapted to you — we can change the locations, timing, services and itinerary. Or, if you have something completely different in mind, I can create a fully custom Lake Como elopement experience from scratch, built around your ideas and priorities.

Once we define the concept, I take care of the planning, vendors, coordination and logistics, bringing all the details together into one clear plan.

My goal is simple: when your wedding day comes, you should be thinking about each other, your feelings and the moment you are living — not about schedules, logistics or organizational details.

COLLECTION I — ESSENTIAL ELOPEMENT

An elegant Lake Como elopement combining two of the lake’s most iconic experiences: a private vintage boat and a beautiful villa or lakeside location.

The collection includes 2 hours of photography and content creation — typically one hour on the lake and one hour at a selected villa with non-private access or at a public location. It is a relaxed, intimate format that gives you different settings and plenty of variety without turning the day into a long production.

Hair and makeup, a bridal bouquet and boutonnière, travel, planning and coordination can all be included, so the experience is organized as one complete itinerary.

The estimate below is an example of how this elopement can be planned and priced. Locations, timing and individual services can be adjusted to your plans and budget.

COLLECTION II — SIGNATURE ELOPEMENT

The Signature Collection gives you more time and flexibility to enjoy your Lake Como elopement without rushing from one moment to the next.

It includes 3 hours of professional photography and videography, with an itinerary planned around your location and the way you want to spend the day.

We can start with getting ready or a small ceremony at your hotel, continue with portraits at one of Lake Como’s villas, and finish with a private boat ride. Alternatively, the three hours can be divided differently — for example, getting ready followed by two hours at a villa or on the lake.

This collection gives us enough time to combine several parts of the day into one story and enjoy some of the most iconic Lake Como experiences: Italian villas, lake views and a private boat.

Hair and makeup, a bridal bouquet and boutonnière, travel, planning and coordination can be included.

The estimate below shows an example based on getting ready, a villa and a private boat. Your final itinerary can be adapted to your plans, location and budget.

COLLECTION III — EXCLUSIVE ELOPEMENT

A complete wedding experience created for just the two of you.

From getting ready and your private ceremony to portraits around the villa, a private boat ride, champagne and cutting your wedding cake — this collection gives you the time and privacy to enjoy the day as a real wedding, without a large guest list.

Exclusive use of the villa or ceremony area allows us to create your own setting with florals and personal details, away from tourists and other visitors.

Photography, professional videography and content creation follow the story throughout the day, while two private boats make it possible to capture your time on the lake both from your own boat and from the water.

The experience can include hair and makeup, florals, a celebrant, live music, wedding cake and champagne, private boats, planning and full coordination.

The estimate below is an example of a 5 hours Lake Como elopement. The final villa, design, itinerary and services are tailored to you.

CUSTOM COLLECTION

If none of the three packages fits your plans exactly, we can build a custom collection.

Tell me what you would like your day to look like, send me your references, or simply give me the budget you would like to work with. I will suggest a realistic combination of locations, services and vendors within that budget.

Any collection can be changed. We can add or remove a villa, boat, video, content creation, florals or other services and adjust the length of the shoot.

The final proposal will be based on your priorities, date, chosen locations and budget.
