A relaxed wedding weekend on Lake Como
A Lake Como wedding is more than a single day — it’s an atmosphere that unfolds slowly.
From welcome dinners by the lake to quiet mornings and long, sunlit afternoons, every moment becomes part of the story.
My focus is not only on how your wedding looks, but how it feels — calm, intentional, and effortlessly elegant.

Elegant villas like Villa Gallietta
Lake Como is home to some of the most beautiful wedding venues in Italy, including private villas that offer both intimacy and timeless elegance.
Villa Gallietta is a perfect example — with its refined interiors, historic architecture, and peaceful gardens, it creates a setting that feels both luxurious and personal.
This is where your wedding becomes more than an event — it becomes a memory you can truly feel.
Many couples who fall in love with Lake Como also consider a romantic elopement in Venice, where timeless architecture and intimate canals create a completely different , yet equally magical atmosphere.
My approach to Lake Como weddings
My approach is calm, unobtrusive, and editorial.
I guide when needed, but I also allow space for real moments to unfold naturally — so your photos feel effortless, emotional, and timeless.
Just for him.
The Quiet Moments Before “I Do”
The bridal morning is one of the most intimate parts of your wedding day.
It’s quiet, emotional, and beautifully slow — the moments where everything begins to feel real.
I photograph this time with a calm, editorial approach, focusing on natural light, movement, and the atmosphere of your space. Whether you're getting ready in a historic villa on Lake Como or a private suite overlooking the lake, these images become part of the story — soft, elegant, and deeply personal.
For many of my couples traveling from the US, this is also a moment to pause, breathe, and truly experience the destination. No rush, no pressure — just you, your energy, and the beginning of something unforgettable.

2. IS LAKE COMO A GOOD LOCATION FOR AN INTIMATE WEDDING?
ake Como is known for its iconic villas and elegant venues. From world-famous locations like Villa del Balbianello, Villa Balbiano and Villa Erba to more private estates such as Villa Gallietta, each venue offers its own unique atmosphere and breathtaking lake views. Romantic areas around Lake Como, including the waterfront of Villa Geno, Bellagio and Varenna, also create beautiful settings for intimate moments and wedding portraits.
A Slow, Elegant Start to Your Wedding in Italy
As an Italy wedding photographer, I focus on creating space for these moments — natural, effortless and deeply personal.
The cost of renting a villa on Lake Como varies depending on the specific venue, season, and duration of the event. Each villa has its own pricing structure, so it's always best to inquire directly with the venue or planner for accurate details.
As a general guideline, more intimate and exclusive villas typically start from around €4000,00 per day, and most require a minimum stay of two to three days, especially during the peak wedding season.
The best time for a Lake Como wedding is from April to June and again in September. During these months, the weather is warm, the light is soft and romantic, and the atmosphere feels more relaxed compared to the peak summer season.
July and August can be beautiful, but they are also the busiest months, with higher temperatures and more tourists, which can affect the overall experience and privacy of your day.
If you’re dreaming of blooming gardens and wisteria, late April and early May are especially magical — though this beauty lasts only for a short time each year.
For couples who value a more intimate and calm experience, spring and early autumn offer the perfect balance of beauty, light, and space.
Wisteria typically blooms for a short period in spring, usually in April, depending on the weather. This brief moment transforms many Lake Como villas and gardens into incredibly romantic settings with cascading purple flowers.
Because the blooming season is short and varies slightly each year, couples who dreams of wisteria in their wedding photos should plan carefully and stay flexible with dates.
Wisteria season is one of the most magical times for an intimate wedding on Lake Como.
Yes — I’m based in Slovenia, just a short drive from Italy and Croatia. Most of the locations I work in — including Lake Como, Venice, and Tuscany — are easily accessible within a few hours by car.
This allows me to travel flexibly and be fully present without the complexity of long-distance logistics. The only exception is Sicily, which requires additional travel planning.
I regularly photograph destination weddings across Italy and understand the natural flow of multi-day celebrations, always ensuring a calm and seamless experience for you.
I speak English fluently and Italian as my second language, which allows me to communicate comfortably with both international couples and local vendors — something that often makes the entire experience feel more natural and connected.
