My Milan Photography Reviews

Nicola and Serena were absolutely amazing! First, let me say that I’m not photogenic, and he did great and took the time to get some amazing shots of us! We did a small wedding in Bellano, and they captured it perfectly! It’s an important event, so I was so glad we chose him!

He’s so talented, I’m beyond impressed with both of them, their professionalism, eye for detail, and creative shots! They had so many great ideas!! It felt like they were a part of our special day, and I can’t say enough good things about both of them.

The communication was great, and everything was delivered as promised. I was blown away by how amazing they were and how timely we received the photos. I know it takes a lot of work and time, and if you are in search of an amazing photographer, definitely choose Nicola! You won’t be disappointed!! Many thanks to him and Serena!! -Sarah & Kip

My fiancé and I had an amazing experience with Nicola and Serena!

From the beginning of the booking, Nicola was incredibly helpful in planning and provided excellent suggestions on location and planning.

On the day of the shoot, Nicola and Serena were prepared and very helpful.

My fiancé and I had a great time during the shoot and the photos came out excellent! Nicola had the photos ready in less than a week and they were perfect.

I would happily recommend to anyone looking for a photographer in the area! -Ian

We had a wonderful shoot at Lake Como with Nicola! He and Serena were amazing.

It was so easy to communicate with them. They were organized and on time. He took beautiful photos of our family and made our trip to Lake Como memorable.

He was patient with us and gave us ample time. Would highly recommend him 🙂 -Sana

Nicola was the best photographer I have ever hired. I booked Nicola for my proposal in Lake Como, and he was on time and followed through on everything he said he would do.

Nicola is super personable and very talented at his craft. With an artistic eye, he will make your experience memorable!!. I can’t say enough about him and his assistant and the quality of work that they provided.

I must say he has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting, and, of course, expressions. He made sure I and my future Mrs felt comfortable and enjoyed the experience, and honesty, we had such a great time and many laughs. He is an absolutely wonderful man and truly a professional in his field.

We were so pleased with our session and final photographs. I will continue to use him in the future for sure. (Perfecto)👌🏽

Guys don’t pass up the chance to work with him! I highly recommend him. Great photographer to work with, energetic, engaging, and a lot of fun! We love our pictures! Thank you so much, Nicola. We hope to see you and your assistant again soon. 🙏🏽 -Dipesh

Engagement photos are a big decision, especially with so many companies and photographers out there to choose from, allow me to give you several reasons why your search could be over if you have Nicola do your photos.

Nicola helped me capture a surprise engagement at Villa Melzi in Bellagio. Could not have worked out any better.

1. Nicola was highly communicative and responsive to the many questions I had.

2. He was knowledgeable on the subject matter. He knew not only the areas we took photos of but also the surrounding areas which was helpful as I was getting down to deciding specifically which town and place I wanted to do photos at. He also knew Villa Melzi very well so we were really able to maximize our time together.

3. He was flexible when needed. Long story short the day the engagement was supposed to happen, Bellagio had a 100% chance of rain the entire day so I reached out to Nicola to see if he could do the day prior and luckily he was available.

On top of that the day prior I was traveling from Bologna to Bellagio and naturally, the train unions decided to strike that day so my timeline got messed up. He was even flexible then on the time which I was grateful for. Because of that we got amazing photos during basically the only 2 hours the entire weekend it did not rain.

4. He came prepared. He knew good hours to go to places if you wanted to avoid a crowd of tourists like I did & was able to easily adapt to the overcast weather conditions just by switching the camera he was using.

5. He is just a good dude! He is someone who has been photographing for a long time and clearly has a passion for what he does.

While there are many photographers out there, you could save yourself some trouble and just go with Nicola. My fiance, myself, and everyone who has seen the photos think they are amazing and I am sure you will love your photos too

Thanks Nicola! -Nick

Michael and I absolutely loved working with Nicola and Martino for our Lake Como engagement shoot! From the moment we contacted them, they were incredibly helpful and accommodating. Nicola's extensive knowledge of the villas was invaluable in finding the perfect spots for our photos.

While taking pictures, they made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, which really shines through in the final images. We both consider ourselves unphotogenic/awkward, and the hot summer temps didn't help, but Nicola and the team really blew us away. The photos are stunning - the pictures we received were so beautiful, and many of them made us tear up.

We would highly recommend Nicola to anyone looking for a photographer in Lake Como!! -Alexandra & Michael

My Fiancé and I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Nicola and Serena. From the communication throughout the build up to the proposal, to the their attentive and personable approach, everything was completely faultless.

Both Serena and Nicola took the time to ensure both myself and my Fiancé were comfortable and relaxed during the photoshoot and were everything we could have hoped for. The photos that were taken capture the moment and emotions perfectly and are photos that we will cherish forever.

A big thank you to Nicola and Serena, we could not recommend them highly enough. -Jorge & Karah

Nicola was fantastic all around. He went above and beyond in every way. The forecast was calling for rain on the date that we had originally booked our engagement photos. Nicola cleared his schedule and moved us at the last minute to a morning that was clear.

He knows the area extremely well, and we could not have been more pleased with his location recommendation. During the shoot, he kept making artistic suggestions that we would have never thought of.

We got tons of photos to choose from and we could not be happier with how they turned out. Working with Nicola was an amazing experience and my fiance and I could not recommend him enough! -Robert

Nicola was absolutely amazing and very accommodating. I had to change our plans last minute due to the weather conditions and Nicola was completely understanding. He had perfect communication throughout the entire booking and even stayed a little longer to make sure we took all of the pictures we visioned. He provided great service and was very knowledgable, our pictures turned out beautiful.

The service was really fast and our pictures were ready in a couple of days. I would recommend Nicola to anyone who is looking to take some beautiful pictures with a photographer who makes you feel comfortable. -Berkay

Nicola and his daughter were absolutely fantastic!! Their communication was great and you could tell they truly care about their clients. They were both so kind and made my fiancé and I feel comfortable and welcomed. This was our first trip to Italy and Lake Como, and we are so grateful for them both and we will cherish these photos forever. You won’t regret booking with Nicola! Thank you both!! -Alexas

Let me start by saying that I am so very happy that I booked Nicola for this photo shoot!

My planning and decision to propose in Lake Como were late, but within a few messages, Nicola gave me suggestions and ideas that would eventually lead to the best proposal I could have imagined. His communication was excellent, and leading up to the moment, his expertise in framing the moment showed tremendously. His daughter, Serena, was also integral to the shoot. Together, they guided us around Bellagio to create the most amazing photos we get to cherish for the rest of our lives.

Communication: 10/10
Photos: 10/10
Location: 10/10
Quality of Work: 100/10

Do not hesitate to book Nicola for your future plans! We will certainly be asking for his and Serena's service in the future if we decide to marry near Lake Como. -Julien

Nicola and Serena were incredible. We took engagement pictures in the Bellagio area of Lake Como, which I had never been to before. I explained ahead of time to Nicola that I was open to whatever ideas he had. A couple days before our shoot the weather showed that it was going to rain during our prearranged time, so I reached out and Nicola and Serena were incredibly accommodating to move our shoot back a couple hours to ensure better weather. The weather ended up being great and Nicola and Serena were amazing at coming up with all the different photos we could hope for. We came to the shoot with really no ideas of our own and they really took charge and took a ton of photos that we will now have for a lifetime. I can't recommend them enough, especially if you are traveling from far away like we were. Their communication was great and the end result was amazing. Thanks again! -Tim & Chloe

I would 100% Recommend using Nicola and Serena for your photoshoot! We recently had a shoot in Lake Como and it was amazing! We had to reshedule last minute due to weather conditions and Nicola was great with his communication and we managed to do it in a new location a day before than we had originally planned.

Nicola suggested lots of great places for photos and serena helped to translate and even carry some of our bags we had too! The full day couldn't have been any better!

After the shoot Nicola sent over a video on the proposal, photos & a slideshow with music and it was all amazing. Thank you very much for your time on the day Nicola and Serena, greatly appreciated!! -Ross & Chloe
