MARCO & GIORGIA · VARENNA, LAKE COMO

An engagement in Varenna, Lake Como

Marco and Giorgia’s engagement session follows the edge of Lake Como through Varenna. Red railings, stone arches and the village waterfront provide a changing setting for photographs built around their connection: a smile, a hand held, an embrace beside the water.

By the water

The lake gives the opening photographs their quiet backdrop. Wide views leave space for the mountains and water, followed by closer portraits of Marco and Giorgia together.

Along Varenna’s lakeside walkway

The red railings and curved trellis lead the eye along the shore. Walking photographs introduce movement, while pauses on the steps and beside the village reveal a more intimate side of the session.

Stone arches and village lanes

Away from the open lake, the photographs move through arches and narrow lanes. Black and white draws attention to the stone, the lines of the passageways and the small gestures between the couple.

Returning to the lake

The last portraits return to the waterfront. The boat, stone path and open water bring the session back to Varenna’s setting, ending with a view of the couple beside Lake Como.
