An Enchanted Pre-Wedding Shoot in Lake Como

A pre-wedding shoot in Lake Como is nothing short of magical, and Sharon and Michael’s pre-wedding session at the iconic Villa del Balbianello was no exception. Known for its breathtaking views and historic charm, this stunning villa has graced the silver screen in blockbusters like Star Wars and James Bond 007, making it a dream destination for couples seeking a luxurious experience! 

For couples planning a shoot in Lake Como, it’s important to note that many villas, including Villa del Balbianello, require pre-booking for photoshoot sessions. We strongly recommend inquiring with your preferred villa first before locking in other details to ensure availability. For those with a flexible budget seeking ultimate exclusivity, some villas also offer exclusive rental options for a more private and intimate experience.

If you’re considering a vintage boat session — a popular choice for couples — hiring an experienced photographer is crucial. During this shoot, the couple was given a different boat than the one they had originally booked. Despite this unexpected change, I was able to adapt quickly and still created stunning images. Having a photographer who can remain calm and flexible in unpredictable situations is key to ensuring your photos turn out beautifully.
