Katherine & Gabriel's unforgettable Lake Como wedding was a true celebration of love, culture, and elegance. Flying in from Miami, the Cuban couple chose the iconic Villa Balbiano as the perfect backdrop for their Italian wedding extravaganza, surrounded by loved ones who had journeyed from Cuba and the USA.
Katherine’s vision of an elegant and delicate celebration came to life beautifully. She looked breathtaking in her Berta gown paired with an Ines Di Santo skirt, radiating joy as she shared heartfelt moments with her bridesmaids and mom during the morning preparations. The lakeside ceremony was pure magic, and capturing their golden hour portraits around the villa and on a private boat was a dream come true.
The dinner reception was a feast for the senses, with a magnificent 20-meter imperial table showcasing handcrafted tablecloths, pearl cutlery, and floral-adorned chandeliers. Guests enjoyed an evening of incredible entertainment, exquisite cuisine, and unforgettable memories.
Grateful to have been part of such a special day for a wonderful couple.

"Planning a wedding is quite stressful, and a destination wedding is even more challenging. We had never met Roberta but were referred to her by our Wedding Planner, Georgia Louise. From the moment we spoke to her on the phone, I knew she was the perfect photographer to entrust with capturing the day my daughter had envisioned. Her energy, beautiful portfolio, friendliness and patience during our initial call made our decision much easier. Her communication skills leading up to the wedding were excellent as well. Even though we were on different continents and time zones, I never had to wait for a response from her.
On the wedding day, Roberta seamlessly captured every moment effortlessly, as evidenced by the nearly 700 prints she showed us. Her calming presence and positive attitude were a blessing. For example; the venue had been chosen before we hired a wedding planner, we discovered on the day of the wedding that some areas where I thought we would be taking pictures had been sectioned off. However, Roberta calmed me down and made it work. As a photographer, I am sure she would have preferred a different scenario but her professionalism and grace shone through.
It took us six months to choose the final photographs because they were all so perfect! Roberta surpassed our expectations, definitely capturing the emotions, intricate details, majestic scenery and my daughter’s fairy tale story through her photography. Thank you, 🙏🏻 and I know you will continue to enjoy much success!"
