Set on the shores of Lake Como, Villa del Balbianello has to be one of the most spectacular wedding venues in Italy. Arriving by boat, the historic villa, beautiful terraced gardens and incredible views across the lake make an extraordinary setting for a destination wedding.

Having photographed weddings throughout Italy, Lake Como remains somewhere truly special — elegant, romantic and almost impossible to photograph badly!
