A Curated Visual Journey on Lake Como

Kaytlin and Ricky, a young couple living in Thailand, chose to honour their love story with a pre-wedding photoshoot at the storied Villa Balbiano, an extraordinary private residence on Lake Como. With its baroque frescoes, antique chandeliers, and lakefront gardens, the villa offers a setting that feels more like a living museum than a traditional wedding venue — a place where every corner invites contemplation and beauty.

Kaytlin moved through five distinctive looks, blending contemporary silhouettes with refined touches — from sculptural Tom Ford tailoring to delicate heels by Aquazzurra and Jimmy Choo. The wardrobe changes marked a gentle narrative shift throughout the day, each outfit a reflection of personal taste and shared aesthetic vision.

We wandered through echoing halls, carved stone terraces, and the serenity of Villa Balbiano’s formal gardens. The session unfolded at an unhurried pace, in quiet dialogue with the space itself. Later, a boat ride across the still waters of the lake offered a suspended moment — a pause where everything felt distilled and essential.
