American Spirit on Lake Como

This was one of my first shoots on Lake Como. The morning started with the old-fashioned elegance of Villa Serbelloni, and then we moved by boat to Villa del Balbianello – an absolutely cinematic peninsula with 18th-century architecture that later became my favorite place on the lake.

The ceremony on the terrace of Loggia Durini, with its panoramic view, is the kind of maximum every bride dreams of on Lake Como.

Behind all of this setting was an incredibly alive couple. Victoria, AJ, and their friends radiated a true spirit of American freedom. They lived this day to the fullest. The evening turned into a crazy party mood. In their eyes, in their conversations, and in the party itself, with cocktails and cigars, there was that same wild, genuine energy I used to see only in movies.
