After Bianca and Mills’ Wedding, Italian Lakes Wedding Team got back to Varenna for another special event. This time main characters were Delia and Edwin. They came from Dallas, Texas and they choose Lake Como for their wedding.

First of all we need to thank Raffaello Mazzoleni photographer who put on disposal reportage of the event in just 3 days! (record time!). We are showing here a first preview of the images we like most.
In order to give a look at the entire PHOTO GALLERY please visit Raffaello’s web site www.artefoto-omegna.it

Last year Bianca and Mills chose San Martino’s church in Perledo above Varenna for their religious ceremony. Dalia and Edwin have opted for parish church of San Giorgio right in Varenna’s hystorical center.
The big church was established in 1313. It has three naves, the external one is embellished with a wonderful fresco showing life of St. Christopher.

Varenna is one of the most unique villages on Lake Como East coast.
Little roads leads to the lake shore, they are simply beautiful. Here everything was kept as it was, it is the perfect setting for romantic and old fashioned style wedding pictures.

Delia is a deliciuos Latin girl. She comes from Texas close to Mexico border. Obviously Raffaello loved taking picture of her. Here you can find the one we prefer!

Right after ceremony and wedding photographs on Varenna shores, newly weds and their guests moved to Hotel Imperiale in Moltarsio on Como’s bench of the lake. Continue Reading »

I’m sure that I won’t exaggerate telling that Bevin and Steven’s symbolic wedding to Villa Gippini was a wonderful event for a wide range of reasons.
First of all the wonderful sunny day that delighted bride and groom and their guests coming from US. Valentina Lombardi was the wedding coordinator, Monika Andermatten was the floral designer for ceremony and centerpiece to San Rocco Hotel reception.
In the next days Valentina and Monika will tell you more about the event. Just as soon as photographers Estella and Diego from Photo27.com will give us images of Bevin and Steven’s wedding.
Today I just wanted to give you a little detail that I was able to “steal” during the symbolic ceremony in Villa Gippini’s garden. Some of the guests decided to to take away their shoes to enjoy the wonderful garden, just leaving them under the big kaki tree. Isn’t it fun?

It has just came to life Enrico Mocci’s new web site!
Enrico Mocci is one of the photographers of Italian Lakes Wedding Team. Starting from the name of the site www.ortaweddingphotographer.com you will understand Enrico’s goal: being specialized on wedding photography on Lake Orta, the place Enrico knows best. No doubt the mission was completely achieved thanks to his wonderful images and long experience he has. Enrico’s studio is right into Piazza Motta – Orta main square – in Orta San Giulio; his photographs are characterized by rich colors, skillful black and white tecnique, and vignetting technique that is just perfect to focalize the attention on a certain point of the image.
The new web site has an essential and clear style that wants to stress all the images inside its Wedding section which is divided in 4 parts showing different steps of the wedding day.

CEREMONY

Regarding the order in time, Alessandro Balossi is the last photographer entered in the Italian Lakes Wedding team. Although personally I know him very well – as i had the opportunity to work with him for numerous weddings , for the occasion of his official presentation I’ve asked him to write few words about himself.
I supposed that it’s a “mission impossible” being Alessandro a quite shy and reserved guy… In fact, it wasn’t easy, but at the end he could manage to give me a short text, that – I think – describes perfectly his personality and the way of interpreting the world of wedding photography.

Here is a short extract:
“I love the images of the smiling brides, shot spontaneously at the moment, catching the real happiness of that day without any pretence in rigid poses and fake expressions of the face. I like to give a dynamic cut to the photos of my weddings, inspired by the most actual fashion images.
I love to catch details and moments to create a real reportage of that very unique and special day.
Above of all, I like to “stop” in time those particular expressions and situations that are lived absent-mindly on the big day amongst all the emotions, so I can show and revive them again with the bride and groom in my studio later on”.

In fact, this is absolutely true: Alessandro Balossi is the photographer of the smiling brides!
It’s enough to see his photo gallery to understand this. But what strikes the most, is the absolute spontaneity and naturalness of the photos, despite the fact that majority of them shows portraiture images.
Alessandro in fact was “grown” as fashion photographer and has a consolidated long experience behind: this for sure helped a lot his carrier as a wedding photographer.
The portraits of his brides and grooms seems really natural, without any camouflage like if they would have been seized upon.

The trick of Alessandro is simple: all is based on his relaxed and calm approach as he works, like in front of the fashion models making feel the brides very special and at ease. Continue Reading »
