An elopement can be a story told through details. For Adi and Jesus, that story was one of impeccable style.
Their day was a masterclass in modern elegance, treating the historic landscape of Lake Como as the perfect runway for their fashion-forward romance.
A Modern Vision in a Timeless Setting
From the moment they began getting ready at Relais Villa Vittoria, the aesthetic was clear. Jesus’s choice of a bold blue tuxedo wasn’t just a style choice; it was a statement of confidence that created a beautiful, modern contrast with the classic Italian palette.
When he saw Adi for the first time as she walked toward him under the iconic arches of Villa del Balbianello’s Loggia Durini, the picture was complete. Her dress, his suit, it was a perfect pairing.
An Editorial Approach
Their style guided our photographic approach. We treated the day like a fashion editorial, focusing on clean lines, dramatic compositions, and capturing the movement of Adi’s dress against the rich textures of the villa’s terraced gardens.
The goal was to create a collection of heirloom images that feel both contemporary and timeless, a true reflection of their personal taste.
The Perfect Contrast
True style has a sense of humor.
After the ceremony and portraits, Adi and Jesus boarded a classic Riva boat. Just as they pulled away, they shared a slice of pizza. It was a fun, spontaneous, and incredibly chic moment. The contrast of their high-fashion look with a simple, joyful slice of pizza on the water is what makes their story so compelling. It proves that luxury isn’t about rigid perfection; it’s about the confidence to be yourselves.
The day concluded with a private dinner in a romantic alcove at Relais Villa Vittoria, a quiet and intimate end to a day defined by bold, beautiful choices.
Our Favorite Moment
As photographers, the visual of Jesus’s blue tuxedo against the ancient stone of the Loggia was striking. It was a brave, brilliant style choice that immediately set the tone for the entire day and challenged the traditional idea of wedding attire in the best way possible.
