Destination Wedding: Lake Como

The ultimate destination wedding location is any Italian town that sits on the breathtaking Lake Como. It is the perfect combination of lake and mountain scenery, and gorgeous villas surround the lake, anxiously awaiting your event. For anyone searching for a wedding with a touch of European elegance, Lake Como should be considered. The best villa to host your special day? In my opinion, it is Villa D’Este located in Cernobbio, Italy. This luxurious hotel sits on the shores of Lake Como, and has lush gardens and a banquet hall to die for. If opulent, yet chic is your style, Lake Como is the place for you!

Italian Destination Wedding by Julian Kanz Photography

I have a soft spot for destination weddings, and this one is no different. In every photo the bride appears to be on the verge of happy tears. I don’t know if I have seen a bride more excited, honored, and blessed to marry her true love! This beautiful international couple live in the UK, but married in gorgeous Italy. Set in the picturesque Santa Margherita Ligure, close to Cinque Terre, their wedding was outdoors with a partial tent. Julian Kanz Photography captured the event at the Villa Durazzo

Intimate Destination Elopement in Dublin, Ireland

Erin & Tyler gave up all of their wedding plans to sneak away to Dublin, Ireland and get married in a gorgeous castle grounds with only a pastor, videographer, and their photographer Stacy Reeves. The result is bold & beautiful. Somehow this couple outshines the rolling hills & lush greenery of Ireland. When Stacy shot their engagement session a week before the wedding, Erin didn’t even have a dress. But her faith dropped a dress that fit perfectly on her doorstep mere hours before their plane took off. After they were married in the rain of Ireland, the group headed to Dublin’s famous Temple Bar- where the Texans first met over spring break. Amazing, huh? After a round of Guiness, they headed out for “day-after” styled shoots in the streets of Dublin. Simple, sweet, amazing… Thank you Stacy Reeves Photography for this beautiful elopement in Dublin!
