Lake Como wedding photographer

As a Lake Como wedding photographer, I am passionate about helping couples have a perfect wedding experience. I love photographing celebrations from start to finish.

So often, a destination wedding is more than just the big day itself. After all, most people come to Italy for a vacation, so it's commonplace that they celebrate with multiple days of festivities. A welcome party, wedding day, and farewell brunch on Lake Como are often a minimum!

If you are looking for a lakeside luxury wedding in Italy, look no further. Lake Como is a popular wedding destination, with the peak season being from April - October. Just remember that the mountains that surround the lake do attract a slightly less stable climate. When comparing it to further south in Italy like FlorenceRomeTuscany or the Amalfi Coast.

The safest months for a wedding on Lake Como are June-September. These months will improve your chances of enjoying a beautiful sunny Lake Como wedding.

Why Couples Love Lake Como Destination Weddings

Lake Como offers exclusive venues, high-end amenities, and a glamorous lifestyle. The gorgeous surroundings make it an idyllic Italian wedding location.

The beauty of Lake Como is undeniable. The stunning villas that lie on the lake shores, the manicured gardens, picturesque villages, and dramatic scenery all combine together to create a one of a kind atmosphere.

This beauty, however, means that a lake Como wedding is a trendy idea!

The best Lake Como wedding venues that overlook the water need booking early to avoid disappointment. Ideally, it would help if you begin planning your Lake Como destination wedding one to two years in advance of your big day.

This will give you enough time to plan, budget, talk with a wedding planner, and start organizing the many details that you will need to finalize.

Advice from a Lake Como Wedding photographer

Nothing should stop you from having your dream wedding on the lake, but there are a few things to bear in mind. Don't overlook a couple of simple issues that can make your or your guests experience a little less than perfect.

Firstly, getting to Lake Como is not easy. Then when you are there, moving around the lake is not apparent either. There is basically one road that runs around the edge of the lake, so driving is often time-consuming. When choosing your wedding venues, consider how you will be getting from one point to the next.

If you select locations that are on different sides of the lake transportation can become an issue. In turn, this could significantly increase your lake Como wedding cost. A boat ride is a must on your wedding day, and offering one to your guests is a fun way of saying thank you for coming. However, you don't want to spend all your wedding day traveling from one venue to another.

Due to the mountains around the lake, there is no point where you can see a sunset. So if you are visualizing sunset photos, then you need to try and choose your location carefully. There are a few areas on the lake, where the sunlight does still arrive a little later in the evening. However, for most places, the sun disappears behind the hills about ninety minutes before sunset.

I can achieve beautiful photos at any stage of the day. However, we still want to try and use some of the softer late afternoon light before the sun disappears behind the hills. We can discuss the timings for the wedding and make a schedule that works great for everyone.
