Perched along the enchanting shores of Lake Como, Villa Balbiano is a masterpiece of history and elegance, offering a dreamlike setting for love stories to unfold. As a luxury wedding photographer, I had the privilege of capturing a breathtaking styled editorial at this iconic venue, featuring the real-life love story of Loreen and Chris. Their genuine connection brought an authentic spark to every frame, making this editorial a celebration of timeless romance.
A Styled Editorial with Authentic Love
Loreen and Chris, a real couple with undeniable chemistry, were the heart of this editorial. Their natural ease and affection transformed each moment into a visual story of love and connection. Dressed in a stunning House of Savin gown and a chic Ines Di Santo look, Loreen embodied modern sophistication, while the historic grandeur of Villa Balbiano provided a perfect contrast. The soft glow of Lake Como’s waters and the villa’s opulent details created a backdrop that elevated every photograph into a work of art.
Every element of this shoot was meticulously curated by AMV Weddings, from the lush floral designs by Flourish & Grace to the flawless hair and makeup by Hair by Duboux and Tara Sanger. The result was a seamless blend of classic romance and contemporary elegance, showcasing the magic of a Lake Como editorial shoot.

Its sprawling gardens, ornate interiors, and panoramic views of Lake Como make it an ideal setting for editorial shoots and destination weddings alike.
