ITALY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER // ITALY ELOPEMENT PLANNER // LAKE COMO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

J and M’s intimate Lake Como, Italy wedding week at Relais Villa Vittoria on a Tuesday in June was a culmination of a beautiful journey that began during the pandemic. Their love story began during the pandemic when they met on Hinge. M initially hesitated to share her phone number, but their connection blossomed, and their bond grew stronger. The magical day of their engagement took place at Disneyland (a place M cherishes being a HUGE Disney fan), where J surprised M with a proposal in front of Snow White’s Grotto, creating a fairy tale moment.

Their wedding week kicked off with a welcome party in the hotel’s wine cellar on Monday, leading up to the big day! The wedding itself was filled with heartfelt moments, from personal vows and jumping the broom, honoring African American tradition, to a boat cruise on Lake Como. The day was blessed with perfect weather, and the scent of honeysuckle enveloped the venue. M and J’s honeymoon was equally dreamy, taking them through the enchanting cities of Venice, Florence, and Rome before landing in the idyllic islands of Santorini and Mykonos in Greece. Their love story, from a pandemic match to a magical Lake Como wedding, is a true testament to the power of love and destiny!
