Lake Como stands as an unparalleled canvas for couples seeking a destination wedding, attracting those enamored by its romantic allure, lush gardens, and opulent lakefront villas. Renowned as one of the most coveted locations for weddings in Italy, it shares the spotlight with iconic destinations like Tuscany, Apulia, Venice, the Amalfi Coast, and the eternal city of Rome. For Jessica and Justin, the dreamy VILLA REGINA TEODOLINDA in the quaint village of LAGLIO became the perfect stage to unfold their love story. This small yet splendid venue offered an intimate and enchanting setting, embodying the essence of their romantic aspirations. The simplicity of the ceremony, attended by a select few, unfolded in the villa’s gardens, surrounded by the picturesque backdrop of the private marina gracing the lake. Following the heartfelt ceremony, the couple embarked on a boat tour, exploring the grandest spots that Lake Como has to offer—a perfect canvas for capturing timeless wedding photographs, a particular facet of my craft that I hold dear. In contrast to the grandeur of large hotels, I find smaller lakeside villas, like VILLA REGINA TEODOLINDA, to be more appealing. Their intimate and romantic ambiance creates a truly unique atmosphere, allowing for a more personal and enchanting celebration of love. A heartfelt appreciation goes to my dear friends Angela Garbagnati and Simona Conti, whose meticulous planning and organizational prowess brought Jessica and Justin’s dream wedding to life. A special acknowledgment is also extended to Marco Mugnai, my invaluable second photographer, whose keen eye and talent added depth to the visual storytelling of this beautiful celebration. In the embrace of Lake Como’s timeless beauty, Jessica and Justin’s wedding unfolded as a tale of love, intimacy, and the enduring allure of a lakeside villa. As they embarked on this new chapter of life, the serenity of Lake Como bore witness to their commitment and provided a canvas for memories that will linger for a lifetime.
