Embarking on a romantic journey from the bustling streets of San Francisco to the serene shores of Lake Como, Marisa and Tommy celebrated their love in a spectacular two-day wedding extravaganza. This enchanting tale unfolded against the backdrop of some of Lake Como’s most iconic locations, weaving together moments of elegance, charm, and sheer natural beauty. As the chosen storyteller capturing every frame of their love story, it’s my pleasure to unfold the chapters of Marisa and Tommy’s unforgettable wedding weekend.

Day 1: A Floating Prelude – The Boat Welcome Party

Against the backdrop of the setting sun, the boat gracefully sailed past the most picturesque locations of the lake, including the enchanting Villa Balbianello – a preview of the grandeur that awaited them on their wedding day. Laughter echoed, champagne glasses clinked, and the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as the boat glided through the waters, creating memories as breathtaking as the surroundings.

Nestled on the shores of Lake Como, the villa’s lush gardens and timeless architecture set a romantic tone for the ceremony and reception. Against this captivating backdrop, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows, surrounded by the love and support of their closest friends and family.

Luxury Wedding Cinematographer Ritz-Carlton Paris

Everyone knows Paris as the city of love. “La ville lumiere” is chosen by couples from all over the world as a location for engagements, elopements and fairytale weddings.

Jazzmin and Rayan immediately fell in love with this city and chose it as their destination wedding. The event involved family and friends for 3 days, with a suggestive and romantic “bateau” (boat) ride along the River Saine, an informal and classy cocktail party with a view through Alexander III bridge, the Eiffel Tower, the Liberty Statue and back to Notre Dame.

During this boat ride we had the chance to ride a small classic old speedboat for a pre-wedding photoshoot and couple video portraits.

The day after, a welcome dinner awaited us at the Perruche restaurant on the roof of a famous department store in Paris. The venue for the wedding day was the Hotel Ritz-Carlton in Place de la Vandome, famous for being Lady Diana’s accommodation and one of the most beautiful and luxurious hotels in Paris (I found a Gauguin painting in the bathrooms …).

The wedding planner Le Grands Moments, who also did the wedding design, did a great job and helped us with all the events. Wedding photographers were Bottega53, that came from Italy like us.

Choosing to have in video the entire event, with boat ride and rehearsal, improves the storitelling and the sense of glamour. I suggest all of our clients to book our Amarcord Film Package to have both the wedding and the pre-wedding in their final editorial wedding film.

Working for a wedding in Paris, in such an iconic city, surrounded by so much beauty, is always inspiring. Walking through the streets of the center and Montmatre looking for “postcards” footage to use in our famous wedding film intros, is one of the funniest things in our job. I can’t wait for another opportunity to filming a wedding in the city of love.

Au-revoire Paris!

Lake Como Destination Wedding Cinematographer

As a Lake Como wedding videographer, I am grateful to be able to tell touching stories like Simone and Grace’s one, whom after two years of pandemic and two postponed weddings has finally achieved their bigger dream, getting married on Lake Com.

Simone is an Italian guy who, like many others, went to study in the United States. There he met Grace and, like his father says in his speech, immediately fell in love with her. Many years later, here they are husband and wife on the shores of the enchanting Lake Como. Theirs was not just a wedding but a three-day event, as a special occasion to bring and celebrate together with friends and families.

These three days started with an elegant party boat on the lake, with music, dancing and good Italian food. The following day the event continued with a rehearsal party at Villa Geno, in the city of Como, with the arrival of the bride and groom on two Venetian boats.

Colorful flowers, aromatic plants and velvet sofas furnished the villa and the open bar helped create a convivial and relaxed atmosphere. Grace looked stunning in her flower dress.

And finally comes the big day! The bride and groom’s preparations took place at Villa Flori in Cernobbio where you can enjoy a beautiful view of Como and the lake. An exciting first look in the gardens of the villa and then a ride on the Riva boat, for a classic, yet classy photo shooting on Lake Como, together with Bottega53.

The wedding ceremony and the reception were set in Villa Pizzo, probably one of my favorite venues on Lake Como, for the beautiful ballroom and terrace on the lake for the ceremony, with the ancient staircase from where bridesmaids, groomsmen , bride and groom go down the aisle.

Finally, a trio of tenors popped-up during the cutting of the cake, surprising the bride and groom and their guests. Once again Gemma from My Lake Como Wedding has done a wonderful job of planning and design.

Once again Lake Como has been able to excite and surprise with its beauty and charm. And I believe that once again Dolcevita Wedding Cinema had the opportunity to tell a genuine love story with a wedding video. As usual Italy, my beloved motherland, offers breathtaking and romantic sceneries for a destination wedding cinematographer.

Lake como luxury wedding is just the most popular wedding location on earth.
