Lake Como Bridal Boudoir Photographer
Welcome to One Day Studio
We’re Zvonimir and Daniella – a photography duo based in Italy, drawn to elegance, emotion, and timeless beauty.
Since 2010, we’ve built a wedding house dedicated to capturing love in all its forms – from luxurious celebrations at historic villas to quiet, intimate moments that happen when no one else is watching. Over the years, Lake Como has become one of the places closest to our hearts. Its light, textures, and atmosphere lend themselves not just to weddings, but also to something more personal – like a bridal boudoir session that feels like a gift to yourself. We document full wedding days, editorial-style couple portraits, and quiet bridal mornings – always with the same intention: to create something thoughtful, honest, and unforgettable.
A Quiet Moment Above the Lake
There’s a certain kind of silence that lives inside a Lake Como villa in the early afternoon. The curtains breathe softly in the breeze, the stone floors hold the warmth of the sun, and time seems to slow down – just enough for you to exhale. That’s where these sessions begin. Not with a pose, not with a flash – but with stillness. With presence. With you, as you are.
You Don’t Need to Be a Model
Most women who reach out to us for a boudoir session say something like, “I’m not really the type.” And yet – by the end – they’re glowing. Not because they became someone else, but because they allowed themselves to simply be.
One bride once told me, right after we wrapped the shoot, “I’ve never felt more like myself, and somehow more beautiful than ever.” That sentence stayed with me for days. And I realized – it’s never really about how you look. It’s about how you allow yourself to feel. You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t even need to feel confident when you arrive. That’s our job – to help you ease into it slowly, with care. We’ll guide you, gently and naturally, without pressure. And we’ll take our time. Some women feel ready after five minutes. Others need longer. Either way – we follow your rhythm.
Guided With Care, Led by Trust
This experience is about trust more than anything else. Trust that you’re in good hands. Trust that we’ll see you – really see you – and reflect that back in a way that feels honest. And if you’d feel more comfortable being photographed by a woman, Daniella is always here to lead or assist. That small choice often brings a big sense of ease, and we’re fully here for that. Our goal is never to change you. It’s to capture you – in that soft, quiet light, exactly as you are.
When the Light Meets You
There’s a shift we see in every session. A moment where something unlocks – where the nervous energy melts away and is replaced by calm. It might be when your fingers brush a silk robe. Or when you laugh unexpectedly. Or when the sunlight finally lands on you just right and for the first time that day, you stop thinking and simply feel.I remember one session where the bride sat by the open window, totally still, just breathing. I didn’t press the sh utter for almost a full minute. Then she looked at me, didn’t say a word, and I knew: this was it. That’s the moment we’re waiting for. And when it comes, it’s always real. Always beautiful. Always yours.
A Gift Just for You
This isn’t a gift for someone else – even if that’s how it starts. This is a gift for you.
For the woman who gives so much to others. For the bride who wants to remember who she was, before the dress. For the soul who deserves to be seen – gently, truly, fully. If this speaks to something in you, we’d love to help you turn it into something tangible. A quiet afternoon above the lake. A villa that holds space for you. Light that doesn’t ask you to perform – only to be.

FAQ – Bridal Boudoir in Lake Como
Do I need to bring lingerie or outfits?
Not necessarily. Most clients bring one or two things they feel comfortable in – like a silk robe, a slip dress, or something personal. We’re happy to guide you on what photographs best.
What if I’m not confident in front of the camera?
That’s completely normal – and actually expected. You won’t need to perform or pose. We work slowly and gently, giving you time to relax. Some of our favorite moments happen once you forget the camera is even there.
Will the images be private?
Yes. We never share any photos without your written permission. This is your experience, and your comfort and privacy are always our top priority.
Can I request a female photographer?
Absolutely. Daniella is part of our team and is always available to lead the session or assist. Many clients find comfort in having a woman present, and we completely support that.
What is the price and how long does the session last?
Sessions start at €2500 and are tailored to your vision. Some clients want a brief, editorial-style session lasting one or two hours, while others prefer a more extended experience over several hours. We’ll help you shape the day around your comfort and preferences.
Wherever you are in your story – just know that it can begin here. When you're ready, we’ll be, too.
