We are Alessandro and Veronica, husband and wife, a mum and a dad. We share the same enthusiasm for photography in general, we continue to study photography, to invest in personal research, to let ourselves be inspired by great photographers, both contemporary and past. Photographic culture is essential for our training. Along with curiosity. Wedding photography is an application of being photographers above all.
A surprise proposal is a delicate balance between emotion, timing, and discretion. When it takes place at the Love Corner of Villa del Balbianello on Lake Como, that balance becomes even more important.
Villa del Balbianello is one of the most iconic and visited villas on the lake. Its terraces, perfectly framed arches, and panoramic views create an extraordinary setting for a marriage proposal. The Love Corner, in particular, offers one of the most romantic backdrops in Italy, overlooking the water with a perspective that feels cinematic and timeless.
However, what many couples do not immediately realize is that the villa is also a popular destination for visitors from all over the world. Even during regular opening hours, it is possible to create an intimate and private atmosphere, but this requires experience, planning, and deep knowledge of the location.
Having worked at Villa del Balbianello for many years, we know how the light moves through the loggias, how visitor flow changes throughout the day, and which angles allow us to compose images that feel exclusive and secluded. We carefully coordinate timing, positioning, and movement to avoid tourists in the frame, even when the villa is open to the public. Our approach is discreet and strategic. We observe, anticipate, and adapt in real time to ensure that the proposal unfolds naturally, without interruptions and without distractions in the photographs.
For couples arriving from abroad, often discovering Lake Como for the first time, this level of support is essential. We guide them in choosing the exact spot within the Love Corner, suggest the most favorable time of day, and plan every detail so that when the moment arrives, everything feels effortless.
When the question is asked and the surprise turns into joy, our role is to capture genuine emotion while maintaining the elegance and atmosphere that make Villa del Balbianello so unique. After the proposal, we continue with a relaxed portrait session around the villa, taking full advantage of its architecture and lake views while ensuring a refined and intimate result.
Our goal is not only to document the proposal, but to create images that reflect the exclusivity and beauty of the setting, without visible crowds, without distractions, and without compromise. The result is a gallery that feels as private as the moment itself, preserving forever the beginning of a new chapter in one of the most extraordinary locations on Lake Como.
