REAL WEDDING - JESSICA & BRAD

We were thrilled to be flown to Lake Como, Italy for the stylish & elegant "i do" between Jessica & Brad in September. What an incredible place to be married and share a week long celebration with family & friends. Equally excited to be showcasing our first wedding online with US based top wedding site Style Me Pretty today. You can view more of Jess & Brad's images on their site and see our favourite pic selections below. Our photographer Lauren was the lucky team member chosen to stay with the couple & their guests at the historic Villa Passalacqua

Everywhere you look classic Italian interior furnishings and momentoes beg to be photographed as memories of the journey.

Jess and 2 of her bridesmaids prepare to walk down the aisle. Bridesmaid "Butter" dresses were sourced from Butter by Nadia.

How many couples take their own snap everywhere they go on their own camera all over the world? We thought it was so cute that Jess & Brad chose to take a photo of themselves when Jessica arrived at the end of the aisle by Brad's side before they exchanged vows.

A gorgeous spot for bridal party & family pics on Lake Como.

The gardens at the property provided the perfect backdrop for our shoot. The expert planning was looked after by Lucy at LM Weddings in Italy.

Vintage vespas were the perfect prop against the historic building.

Jess & Brad spend some quality time together before joining their guests.

Wherefore art thou Vespa........please Santa perhaps next year?

The locals sure do know how to relax over here in Lake Como....no wonder George Clooney moved in years ago.

One last moment to savour the view before party time begins.

The interior of Villa Passalacqua was every bit as stunning as the exterior for photography options on the day.

The weather brought some clouds and light rain post shoot which moved the party inside for a cocktail style evening with the incredible tunes of close friends - Nancy & Maya McClean.

Red Wine, White on White and Candlelight in the gardens.

Chocolate dipped strawberries by candlelight prepared on the spot.

Some of the best desserts in the world are the simplest.

Dusk in Lake Como brings a close to one of the most memorable destination weddings SugarLove has covered. Congrats to Jessica & Brad and thank you for inviting us to be part of such special moments with you. Wishing you lots of love & laughter always, Leigh & the SugarLove team x
