"A styled wedding dream at Lake como"

As the morning sun peeked in, Serena was a total vibe—classic, stunning, and rocking her sassy confidence like no other. Her handmade gown, with those chic bows, was all about elegance with a modern twist, perfectly matching her bold spirit. Meanwhile, David was the definition of cool and collected, patiently counting down the minutes to see his bride. The energy was electric, the love was real, and their getting-ready moments were just the start of an unforgettable day.

Getting Ready

The ceremony was giving total Lana Del Rey vibes—set in a glass-walled venue with Lake Como’s moody, shimmery magic wrapping us up like a scene straight out of a vintage music video. The soft light hit just right, showing off the stunning floral arrangements that looked like they came from an old-school romance movie. The couple? Pure retro glamour meets modern love, with their chemistry perfectly framed by that epic Italian backdrop. And with all the dreamy vibes in the air, I got to play with some flash photography to amp up the drama and capture every sultry, golden moment.

Ceremony

The couple’s portraits were pure magic, taken right at the water’s edge with Lake Como bringing all the vibes. The bride had swapped into her second jaw-dropping gown (because why not?), looking like an absolute goddess, while the groom couldn’t stop sneaking admiring glances her way. With the shimmering lake and those epic Italian views, it was the perfect mix of dreamy and over-the-top luxe—a total fairytale in the making.

Portraits

This wedding was a perfect blend of sentimentality and sass, with every detail telling its own love story. Think bows galore—on the dress, the decor, everywhere—giving a nod to classic elegance while staying totally on trend. The bride’s shoes and jewelry were statement pieces, as if whispering, “Look, but don’t touch.” The dinner table? A feast for the eyes, dripping in candles, swans, and dreamy blues and whites, mixing extravagance with just the right amount of edge. It was a day where romance met bold, timeless met trendy, and every moment sparkled with unforgettable style.
