Villa Sola Cabiati, Lake Como

When you get to arrive by boat at the Villa Sola Cabiati on Lake Como and enter into a dreamy photoshoot with loving clients you certainly do remember to count your blessings. What a wonderfully privileged position this job is. I love Lake Como – the images seem to flow effortlessly. I’ll be sharing the results of this three-day shoot over a few posts. For now, here’s a gorgeous series from our first shoot with Benita and Grant, two days before the main wedding event in Milan. Many thanks to Harold James for excellent work on hair and makeup and dresses from Vera Wang and you can see highlights of the full weekend shoot on Vogue.com.
