Set against the classic beauty of Lake Como, Vern and Vadim’s editorial wedding shoot captured the essence of timeless Italian romance with a refined, modern edge. The first portion took place at Villa del Balbianello, a historic estate perched above the water and famously featured in Star Wars, where stone terraces, manicured gardens, and sweeping lake views created an atmosphere of effortless elegance. The second half unfolded on the classic wooden boats that glide across Lake Como’s glassy surface, embracing the natural elements that make this destination so iconic. The interplay of light on the water, historic architecture, and the quiet intimacy of a young couple in love resulted in imagery that feels chic, cinematic, and undeniably luxurious — perfect inspiration for destination weddings in Italy.

Super 8 and film photography were a must for this session.
