Jess & Will’s Destination Wedding at Lake Orta, Italy

Lago d’Orta — ci hai rubato il cuore // You stole our hearts.

Some weddings leave a mark — not just for the beauty, but for the people. Jess & Will’s wedding at Lake Orta was one of those weekends I’ll never forget.

A Destination Wedding Full of Magic

Jess & Will, an incredible English couple with the biggest hearts, stumbled across Lake Orta while planning their destination wedding — and instantly fell in love. Honestly, who wouldn’t? This corner of northern Italy is pure magic: charming cobbled streets, glittering water, mountain backdrops and that golden Italian light.

They brought 70 of their closest people with them to celebrate and the energy was just unreal from the start.

From London to Italy

I had the absolute privilege of photographing Jess & Will’s London wedding previously — so getting to join them in Italy felt like reuniting with old friends. Over the weekend, it became more than just work. We laughed, swam in the lake, drank together and danced into the night.

This wasn’t just a wedding. It was a whole experience. A celebration of love and adventure — all set against one of the most picturesque backdrops you can imagine.

Swims, Sunsets & Dancing Under the Stars

Lake Orta delivered everything you’d hope for from an Italian destination wedding:
– Morning swims in the lake
– Aperols by the water
– A heartfelt ceremony filled with emotion
– A golden hour that looked like it was lit by film crews
– And an evening party that went off under the stars

Everywhere I turned, there was another beautiful moment waiting to be captured.

Thinking of Getting Married at Lake Orta?

If you’re dreaming of an intimate, stylish, and joy-filled wedding in Italy, Lake Orta is the place. It’s romantic, a little less touristy than other Italian lakes, and completely breathtaking.

And if you need a photographer who knows how to capture it all while blending into the magic of the day — I’d love to be there with you.

Jess & Will — what a couple. What a weekend. What a joy.
Grazie mille, Lake Orta. I’ll be back.
