Photographers

This wedding photography and videography company is based in Philadelphia though their team does travel domestically and internationally for weddings, special events, and photoshoots. They also brought with them a drone photography/videographer as well. Nate and Thanh are very talented artists and they have an eye for photography and videography - whether it be guiding us through our photoshoot, selecting the locations for our backdrops, or creating a wedding trailer. In fact, we selected them after having seen their work at both of our respective sisters' wedding festivities. For a sneak peek of their talent, check out their instagram page (@lightyearstudio)!

Venues

This wedding venue is located in the heart of Lake Como and is known for the iconic Como fountain that showers 30 meters up onto the lake. It is a historic (built in 1790!) but timeless venue, accessible by boat via which is how our guests arrived and how we did our Baraat and newlywed send-off. Not only that, but it is one of the few venues on the lake with a capacity to host a large wedding party. It is also perfect for a more intimate setting with an outdoor garden area as well as a beautiful 2-story villa with frescos! The area around the fountain just outside the villa is where we had our ceremony and it could not have been more perfect with the beautiful backdrop of the Italian Alps! They also have experience with hosting Indian weddings and linked up with a local caterer to serve a traditional Indian lunch after our ceremony. We picked this venue for its location, beauty, history, and capacity.

Wedding Planners

This luxury wedding planning company is based in Milan and specializes in destination weddings. Our planner was Valentina and she was nothing short of amazing! We originally met her for our venue sourcing in October of 2019. Given the original 2020 date, she worked with us to essentially re-plan our wedding for 3 different dates. She was always available by phone or video chat and supported us through the initial uncertainty around the pandemic. She and her team were exceptional in their level of organization and execution of our wedding events (pre-wedding photoshoot, welcome night/Sangeet, wedding, and reception). Her attention to detail and ability to represent us to our local vendors are just a few of her talents in addition to cultivating a friendship. Her and her team really made our dream wedding a reality and we could not be more grateful.
