Time for you. Photographs of you.
A couples shoot is a chance to capture your connection — for an engagement, an anniversary or simply because you would like photographs together. You do not need to know how to pose or arrive with a particular idea.
I photograph you with Fujifilm medium format and a cinematic eye. We take time for movement, conversation and thoughtfully composed portraits. I offer calm, clear guidance without pushing you into a role.
Occasions
The right setting for every moment
Engagement shooting
Celebrate your engagement with a relaxed shooting at your favorite place. Also perfect as a save-the-date.
Anniversary
Whether 1st or 25th anniversary – treat yourselves to professional couple photos as a memory of your shared journey.
Just because
Do you need an occasion? No! Sometimes the best reason for a couples shoot is simply: Because we love each other.
Relaxed in front of the camera
Where should your hands go? Where should you look? These questions are perfectly normal. I help with simple suggestions and give you something to do: walk a few steps together, turn towards each other or pause for a moment.
You do not need to look into the camera every second. Between the guided photographs, there is room for what happens naturally — laughter, a touch or a familiar glance.
Impressions
This is what couples shootings look like with me
Finding the right setting together
Before the shoot, we talk about the photographs you would like and where you feel comfortable. Old town, garden or open landscape: we choose a place not only for its backdrop, but also for the light, season and your ideas.
Tell me the occasion and roughly when you would like your shoot. You can use the form or email montrasio@gmail.com directly. I usually reply personally within 24 hours.

Couples shoot FAQ
Usually 1–2 hours. That's enough for different perspectives, lighting moods and plenty of relaxed moments.
Wear something you feel comfortable in and can move easily in. Your outfits do not need to be identical — it matters more that they suit you and the location we choose. Calm colours and subtle patterns keep the attention on your faces. If you are unsure, you can send me photographs of your options beforehand, and we can choose together.
Not at all. You do not need any experience in front of the camera. I give you simple guidance and time to get used to the situation. You do not need to smile constantly or look into the camera every second. Together, we find out what feels comfortable for you. If you'd like to feel a bit more prepared, my posing guide has 40 stances to practise beforehand.
The "Golden Hour" — 1–2 hours before sunset — gives the most beautiful light. But cloudy days have their charm too: soft, even light without harsh shadows.
