For Madelyn and Ashley, who traveled all the way from Australia, the goal was simple. They wanted an intimate Lake Como celebration that felt less like a formal event and more like a beautiful, relaxed party with their closest friends. Villa Noseda, a private villa in Moltrasio, became their home for a day filled with personal joy and iconic glamour.
The day began with laughter. Ashley got ready with his friends while Madelyn had her makeup done, her curls styled perfectly. Their ceremony took place on the villa’s lawn, surrounded by vibrant yellow flowers that added pops of color against the green grass.
After they exchanged vows, there were canapés, toasts, and the easy conversation that only happens when you’re surrounded by the people you love most. As evening approached, they moved to a long table set for an alfresco dining experience, enjoying good food and wine under the Italian sky.
Our Favorite Moment
The moment the Riva boat pulled away from the dock was special. It was the point where their private, joyful celebration opened up to the grand, adventurous spirit of Lake Como. This is a feeling we work hard to create. We partner with a trusted Riva boat captain who knows how to escape the busy ferry routes, finding those quiet, glass-like coves for portraits.
Our goal for this part of the day wasn’t just to take pictures. It was to give them a real sense of freedom on the water as the sun went down, creating the dramatic, artful images that capture the essence of the Lake Como lifestyle.
