Experience
Tuscany & Lake Como
Presented by Avila Society
Enjoy the historical charm of Tuscany, a 15th century winery-surrounded town with ancient features in the Renaissance architecture of Siena. Photograph unforgettable engagement and wedding moments in the city square and along the narrow cobbled pathways. Then steal away on a fancy charter bus to the historic and luxurious Villa Catignano, an ever-elegant wedding venue in the vineyard hills just outside of town. Shoot sunset photos and then spend the night in this private party exclusive stay, followed by a full day, with full editorial and workshop offered by luxury photographers, Alyssa and Matt, to finish our time at the villa.
Relish and absorb an incredible content day with 3 shoots and mentorship with our workshop hosts in the fabulous Lake Como! Join us, with mentorship by Alyssa and Matt, after the travel day between locations for a sunrise engagement shoot in the streets of Bellagio, Lake Como. Then enjoy a midday lake front wedding shoot, followed by a luxury wedding boat shoot in the evening until sunset. Get everything you have dreamed of throughout the various scenes on Lake Como. This dream day will be absolutely unforgettable!
