Professional Portrait Photographer in Milan – Elena Volotova

For the wild, quiet, and deeply-in-love. Capturing your story, just as it is.

Every couple has a unique story—a way of laughing together, of holding hands, of just being. As a dedicated couple photographer in Milan, my focus is on capturing that real, unscripted connection. Forget awkward poses; this is about creating a space where you can be yourselves. The result is a collection of beautiful, honest photographs that celebrate your relationship at this very moment.
Plan a discreet proposal or an elegant engagement photoshoot with a dedicated proposal photographer—scouting, timing, and subtle signals are all taken care of to keep the moment effortless and authentic.
Couple photoshoots and engagement sessions are available in Milan’s most romantic locations, with Lake Como photoshoots on request for a timeless backdrop and refined experience.
For a Lake Como proposal photographer or a Lake Como couple photoshoot, availability is limited; inquire early to secure dates and a tailored plan.
We'll start with a chat about you two — your story, your favorite places, and what you love doing together. We’ll choose a location that feels meaningful, whether it's a favorite spot in Milan or a place you've always wanted to explore.
Think of this less as a photoshoot and more as a date. I'll give you gentle prompts and things to do together, capturing the natural laughter, quiet moments, and everything in between. My goal is for you to forget about the camera and just enjoy each other.
Within two weeks, you’ll receive a private online gallery with a collection of beautifully edited, emotional images that tell the story of your connection, ready to be shared and treasured.
For my full guide with package details and availability, please get in touch. I’d love to hear about the two of you.



Absolutely. Most couples feel this way! My entire approach is built around prompts and interactions, not stiff poses. I’ll ask you to walk, talk, and focus on each other. It’s my job to find the beautiful moments within your natural connection, so you can relax and be yourselves.
Yes, I encourage it! A location that has meaning to you—whether it’s where you had your first date, or a park you love, or a place you always wanted to visit — adds a deeply personal layer to your photos. We can absolutely plan the session around a place that is part of your story.
For that beautiful, soft, and romantic light, I almost always schedule couples sessions during the ‘golden hour’—the 90 minutes just after sunrise or before sunset. The light is magical and incredibly flattering.
Our foundational couples session includes a gallery of 10 masterfully edited images, carefully chosen to tell the story of your relationship. This collection offers a beautiful variety of moments from our time together.
Yes. Direction is gentle and movement-based—prompts help create natural reactions, so images feel candid rather than staged during an engagement photoshoot or couple photoshoot.
Yes. Support includes proposing the best locations and time of day, a discrete meeting plan, and a simple cue for the exact moment; Lake Como proposals are available on request with advance booking.
Whether it’s to celebrate an engagement, an anniversary, or simply the beautiful, everyday love you share, let’s create something timeless together. Reach out to plan a relaxed, fun session that captures the real, unscripted connection between the two of you.
