Orta what a treasure to get married here

Louise and Robert knew exactly what they wanted: to get married at Orta, a small and very pittoresque village at Lake Orta. Fascinating because of its beauty, its small streets with cafes and little shops, the religious island San Giulio right in front of the main square.

We arranged the civil wedding at the historique townhall called Villa Bossi. The civil wedding takes place outside in the beautiful garden. With the sun shining so nicely, a blue sky, we all waited for the arrival of the beautiful bride Louise. She came with her father in a rowing boat and was welcomed by her 2 bridesmaids before she walked down the natural path which suited as an aisle like in a church.
Happily both said yes in the right moment, our interpreter Irmi was much more in tears then bride and groom! Continue Reading »

Helen and Daehun, an eco-friendly wedding on Lake Orta

Thinking about a wedding we can imagine big parties, wonderful dresses and big wedding cakes.
If you are thinking about all this, Helen and Daheun’s wedding could be really out of ordinary!
But in its dimension and semplicity it was one of the loveliest wedding on Lake Orta.
An event full of emotions and symbols which is rare to face nowadays.

madonna-del-Sasso-weddings

It was special also for wedding images: Helen and Daehun chose Luca Rajna – Ajn Luca Rajna Progetti Fotografici – as their photographer. We met him in occasion of Loretta and Scott’s wedding on Lake Maggiore last year. Luca Rajna is a creative and innovative photographer.

Luca-Rajna-wedding-photographer

For this occasion all images has been edited with a special technique called Polaroid Transfer.
Polaroid is the legendary camera of the 70s which was able to develop pictures immediately.
Polaroid transfer technique is simply pressing a just-shot photo with a Polaroid on watercolor paper. The result is really artistic an vintage with some irregolar shaped edges. Luca Rajna created the same effect for great shots of Helen and Daheun’s wedding. Have a look to PHOTO GALLERY with 70 polaroid transfers photo in it.

Helen was born in Illinois she is optimist and loves nature. She is vegetarian and loves colors and scent of flowers. After her degree to Columbia University in Manhattan she moved to South Corea where met Daehun her groom.
Helen loves South Corea and people there. After the wedding she came back over there where she teach English to elementary school to Siheung City.

Helen wanted to get married and have a lovely honeymoon across Europe. She never been over here.

Blue like the lake and red like love

Some days ago Alessandra told you about Julia and Angus’ wedding on Lake Como.
For the ones who did not have a look to their lovely photogallery just give a glance of wonderful pictures taken by Mauro Pozzer.
Julia and Angus opted for red and blue color scheme with a touch of cream.
It is really funny as the same scheme – red blue and cream – was taken by another English couple Richard and Victoria who got married on Lake Orta.
