Wedding Photography Lake Como

Lake Como is an inexhaustible treasure chest of beauty. Its historic villas, buildings and villages are many and all different. This Lake has an ancient history, already known to the Romans who considered Lake Como an indispensable passage to the Alps. A truly unique place that we have been experiencing for years and that still surprises us. A place that teems with life and not just tourism, with a soul that is still authentic. Lake Como is also a popular wedding destination in Italy due to its picturesque natural beauty, charming towns, and luxurious villas. The lake is surrounded by lush greenery, stunning mountains, and beautiful architecture, making it a romantic and scenic location for a wedding.

Additionally, Lake Como has a rich cultural heritage and a long history of hosting glamorous weddings, which adds to its appeal as a wedding destination.

Since we live near Lake Como, for us it has become a place of the heart, not only because of the splendid weddings that we have the opportunity to photograph, but also because by going there very often, in every season and at every possible time, we have learned to know and love it under all its infinite shades of beauty and surprise. Sometimes we enjoy an home made ice cream on the narrow roads of Varenna, take a bath with our son on the shores of the lake, eat a pizza in one of the romantic restaurants of Bellagio or simply walk the Green Way of the lake among ancient abbeys and breathtaking views.

We have been wedding photographers for 15 years and in our website you will find many different stories of cheerful couples who chose Lake Como for their dreamy wedding. A religious elegant wedding in the church of Mezzegra or Cadenabbia, a classic and chic wedding in a unique wedding venue like Villa del Balbianello, an unconventional wedding by the Lake at Lido di Lenno, an intimate wedding in one of the Villas on Lake Como like Villa Pax in Lenno or Villa Regina Teodolinda. All of them are unique and we keep precious memories of those days. We had fun in creating beautiful photos, in catching our brides and grooms’ emotions, in looking for hidden situations, in using the charm of the Lake as the perfect scenario for our couples. We felt part of the day as we always do. Keeping discreet but being inside the event not to miss your memories.

In fact, we believe that when it comes to choosing a wedding photographer, it is essential to find someone who can capture the essence and emotion of the day without interfering with the natural flow of events. And we believe that documentary photography is an excellent choice for weddings because it allows the photographer to capture authentic moments as they unfold, rather than relying on posed or staged shots. Your memories deserves authenticity! “Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still” said Dorothea Lange, a famous American documentary photographer and photojournalist.

These words speaks to the power of photography in capturing candid moments that cannot be replicated or replaced. Candid photography captures real, unscripted moments in time, preserving them for future generations to see and appreciate. It is these candid moments that often hold the most emotion and authenticity, making them truly irreplaceable.

But what about the stunning wedding locations where we had the chance to document incredibly romantic love stories?

How many ideas, how many fantastic locations! However, the fact remains that you need to invest in quality wedding photography so that everything you have always dreamed of and that you are about to plan has the right result in the photographs that will live forever. With your memories.

Villa del Balbianello

Villa del Balbianello is considered one of the most beautiful wedding venues for a wedding on Lake Como, and for good reasons. The villa is situated on a promontory that extends into the lake, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and crystal-clear waters of Lake Como. The villa itself is a stunning example of Italian architecture and a beautifully landscaped garden. The incredible Loggia Durini, decorated with intricate stonework and sculptures, with a beautiful balustrade that overlooks the lake, provides an elegant and romantic setting for a wedding ceremony. The villa’s outdoor terrace, overlooking the lake, offers a breathtaking view that will leave a lasting impression on guests. The villa’s gardens are meticulously maintained, with blooming flowers and lush greenery providing a natural and incredibly scenographic setting for wedding photos. Believe it: from all points of view and therefore also from our photographic point of view, arriving at the entrance on the water by boat, walking up the narrow road that crosses the gardens to the Loggia, enjoying that panorama, that light, of the trepidation of your loved one who awaits you up there to crown your dream is truly priceless. And for us it is an inexhaustible source of creative inputs. Villa del Balbianello is always worth it.

Villa Cipressi

Villa Cipressi in Varenna is a super charming and romantic location for an intimate wedding on Lake Como due to its picturesque position. The Villa is is surrounded by gardens filled with cypress trees, vibrant flowers, and winding paths. A botanical gardens that always offers incredible light magic develops along the descent to the Lake. Villa Cipressi (which is also a Grand Hotel being parto of the Grand Hotel Royal Victoria) is a beautiful example of Italian architecture, with a grand facade, ornate balconies, and arched windows that offer panoramic views of the lake. The interior of the Villa is equally impressive, with grand halls, intricate frescoes, and antique furnishings that provide a timeless and elegant backdrop for a wedding ceremony and reception. The gardens of Villa Cipressi are a true highlight, offering a romantic and intimate setting for a wedding ceremony. The gardens are divided into different levels with hidden alcoves providing a sense of privacy and seclusion. The garden’s abundance of greenery, colorful flowers, and blooming trees make for a stunning backdrop for wedding photos. We can say that the sunset enjoyed from the terrace of Villa Cipressi during a dinner is perhaps one of the most beautiful views of Lake Como.

Villa Regina Teodolinda

Villa Regina Teodolinda (https://www.villareginateodolinda.com/it/home-it/) is located in Laglio, shortly after the city of Como and since the 19th century it has been the destination of the upper middle class of Milan who used to meet to talk about business, the future, culture and to enjoy the peace and charm of Lake Como and the beautiful English garden. We adore this Villa so elegant yet so intimate, with the possibility of celebrating an outdoor symbolic or civil ceremony overlooking the lake, to make an unexpected entrance by boat or through those adorable stone stairs that lead to the English garden. This location is truly a treasure chest and with many ideas and picturesque corners that certainly enrich your Lake Como wedding photos.
