Italy’s Lake Como is the epitome of elegance, making it the perfect backdrop for capturing love stories. We had the pleasure of photographing Sonam and Justin, a dynamic couple who are set to marry at the stunning Villa del Balbianello this August. Their pre-wedding shoot was an afternoon of glamour, breathtaking views, and authentic moments.

Starting Strong at Villa Monastero, Varenna

Our stylish afternoon kicked off at the elegant Villa Monastero in Varenna. With its meticulously kept gardens and striking lake views, this spot set the stage for some fantastic shots. The afternoon light cast a golden glow, enhancing the villa’s timeless beauty and giving our photos that extra wow factor.

Cruising Lake Como in Style

After our session at Villa Monastero, we hopped on a boat for a leisurely cruise across Lake Como. The boat ride was the perfect setting for capturing candid, relaxed moments as the couple soaked in the incredible scenery. The majestic lake and mountain vistas provided a dramatic backdrop that highlighted the couple’s adventurous spirit and the romance of the location.

Sneak Peek at Villa del Balbianello

As we approached their upcoming wedding venue, Villa del Balbianello, the excitement was undeniable. This iconic villa, known for its lush gardens and panoramic views, is a dream wedding destination. We snapped some stunning shots around the villa, giving Sonam and Justin a preview of where they’ll soon say “I do.” The anticipation and joy were palpable, adding a touch of magic to these images.

Wrapping Up with Aperol Spritz

After a day of capturing beautiful moments, we wrapped up with an Aperol Spritz at a lakeside café. We spent this time relaxing, talking, laughing, and bonding with Sonam and Justin. The stunning views of the lake and mountains made for a perfect backdrop as we got to know them better and shared stories about their engagement and future plans. This casual and intimate time together added an extra layer of connection, making the whole experience even more special.

Capturing the Essence of Their Love
