Some wedding days are so magical, they feel like a beautiful twist of fate. This intimate September wedding at Lake Como was exactly that—a day filled with romance, beauty, and the kind of moments that make you stop and believe in destiny.
Getting Ready at Grand Hotel Tremezzo
Grand Hotel Tremezzo is a dream. Perched right on the shores of Lake Como, it exudes old-world charm, luxury, and breathtaking views that make you fall in love with Italy all over again. The rain that morning only added to the cozy, romantic atmosphere. The bride got ready in a gorgeous suite with the misty lake stretching out behind her, while the groom, full of nervous excitement, adjusted his bow in a room with beautiful room of the garden. It was one of those mornings where every little detail just felt extra special.
A Rainy First Look, but Full of Magic
Some couples might have worried about the rain, but these two embraced it, knowing it would only make their day even more unique. Their first look took place in the secluded swimming pool area of the hotel, where raindrops gently hit the water, creating the most peaceful, intimate moment. When the groom turned around to see his bride, his face lit up in a way that said everything. It was pure magic—proof that love shines brightest even on the rainiest days.
A Ceremony at Villa Balbianello
With umbrellas in hand, the couple and their guests made their way to Villa Balbianello, one of the most breathtaking spots in all of Lake Como. The drizzle continued as they exchanged vows, adding to the romance. And then, just as they said “I do, ” the rain suddenly stopped. As if scripted by the universe, a rainbow stretched across the lake, painting the sky in soft colors. We all stood there in awe—it was one of those moments where time seems to pause, and you just know this was meant to be.
A Celebration to Remember
With hearts full and spirits high, we all headed back to Grand Hotel Tremezzo to celebrate. The rain had passed, and the hotel glowed with warmth, laughter, and clinking glasses. The couple danced under twinkling lights, soaking in every moment of their once-in-a-lifetime day. It was pure joy, the kind you wish you could bottle up and keep forever.
A Day I’ll Never Forget
As a wedding photographer, I get to witness some of the most incredible love stories, but this one will stay with me forever. It was a reminder that sometimes, the best moments are the ones you never planned for. Rain or shine, love always finds a way to make the day unforgettable—and this wedding was proof of that. Thank you also to Nic Zharkov for having me in his team on this special day.
