Manuele e Filippo

The place

Lake Como & the Italian Lakes

Deep lakes between the mountains, villa gardens down to the water and boats between the villages.

June is one of the easiest months to marry here.

The light

How the light falls there

On a lake between mountains the sun leaves early: the shore that faces west keeps the last light while the other is already in shade. Photographers who know the lakes time the portraits to it, or take a boat to follow it. The water is often calmest early in the day, before the afternoon breeze picks up.
