Inspiration

I am absolutely in love with Amey and Naz's Lake Como elopement and the sentiment behind their day. It's just them, their love and the stunning Italian location that holds special meaning to them. Capturing all this magic was the wonderful Miss Gen who was not only their wedding photographer for the day but was also an amazing presence. She even sewed the strap of Amey's Grace Love Lace wedding dress back on when it had a slight malfunction just as they were about to leave!

Wedding Cermeony

We planned a simple day. We got ready together in our hotel room at the Grand Tremezzo but I didn't put on my dress so that we could have a 'first look' in the gardens. Our ceremony was under the stone arches of Ossuccio Town Hall, a very rustic atmosphere and we arrived by Venetian taxi boat. Before the formalities, we read each other a short letter but opted for the short and sweet version of the official vows. After the ceremony, we had a private dinner in the garden before moving to the candlelit terrace for dessert. We did have a swim in the spa pool to end our day, which the hotel lined with candles for us. We also stopped for gelato after the ceremony at our favourite place in Lenno.

Lake Como Elopement

Amey and Naz's Lake Como elopement is both relaxed and intimate, making the whole day about themselves and their love for one another, which is just adorable. During their trip across the lake, many people shouted their congratulations and ferries and boats honked their horns. People even approached them for days after to say they had seen them on their wedding day. What a lovely start to a lovely union.

Fashion

Naz had a suit made by Taliare in Marylebone who were wonderful in recommending something that would do justice to such a lovely location. I chose a dress by Grace Loves Lace. I wanted something classic but also simple as it was an elopement after all and it needed to travel well too. I had a simple bouquet and Naz had a buttonhole of green and white flowers, made by Mario and his team on Bellagio. We took the ferry from Tremezzo to Bellagio on the morning of our wedding day to pick them up.

Amey & Naz
Miss Gen's portfolio is stunning and it's clear she has an incredible eye. Amey & Naz never wanted anyone else to photograph their Lake Como elopement. She never fails to capture the small, intimate and emotional moments. Since they planned to have no family or friends with them on their day they knew their choice of photographer would be even more important.
