Claudia & Michael

Claudia and Michael chose Lake Garda for its calm atmosphere and understated Italian character, intentionally moving away from crowded destinations. The day began with an intimate ceremony at a hilltop church overlooking the lake and surrounding villages. The elevated setting created a natural sense of privacy and a strong connection to the landscape, allowing the ceremony to feel quiet, sincere, and deeply personal.

The celebration continued at Villa Bettoni, a historic waterfront villa known for its formal gardens, classical architecture, and soft evening light. As guests arrived from different countries, the atmosphere settled into something warm and unhurried. Friends and family gathered by the lake, reflecting the couple’s calm and thoughtful approach to the day.

Planned from abroad, the wedding brought together international guests and blended cultural traditions with ease. The celebration unfolded at a gentle pace, shaped by authenticity, simplicity, and the quiet beauty of Lake Garda. Documenting this day as a destination wedding in Italy highlighted how meaningful a setting can feel when space, light, and intention come together naturally.
