This photo shoot for Lauren and Rocco had a very special value: in fact the night before he had proposed to her, at the end of a holiday from Texas, where they live, to Lake Como. They have made my heart beat by sharing with me this story!
Rocco booked me for a surprise engagement shooting the day after the proposal. He asked me to suggest an intimate and typical place. I immediately thought about the old towns of Bellagio and Varenna which I think are two of the most beautiful villages on the shores of Lake Como. They chose Bellagio since there are also the Gardens of Villa Melzi d’Eril, that offer a quiet place where to stroll and relax, a perfect location for an engagement photo shoot. The first time I visited it I was breathless for the beauty of its lake shore gardens: on one hand you see the intense blue of the water, and on the other a green hill, shaded by fascinating secular plants. For all these features and for the peace that reigns there, Villa Melzi is always on the list of my recommended locations! So we started inside the gardens and ended up by the lanes of the old town of Bellagio that is a picturesque setting full of romantic corners, with colorful houses, flowers at the windows, narrow and uphill roads.
