Some stories don’t begin with a dress or a bouquet, but with the comfort of a soft bed and the scent of cappuccino.
This is the story of Alice and Stefano, and their intimate vows renewal at the Hilton Lake Como—a day that unfolded from the sweetness of breakfast in bed to the glow of a candlelit dinner overlooking the lake.
Together with my colleague Vittore, and the talented video team Valerio and Elisa, we had the privilege of capturing every detail of their day. The biggest challenge? Being present without ever interrupting the magic.
What is a vows renewal?
A vows renewal is a symbolic ceremony where a couple reaffirms their love and commitment after years of marriage.
It doesn’t follow the formalities of a traditional wedding, but it’s often even more emotional.
It’s an opportunity to stop, breathe, and say again: “I choose you.”
Alice and Stefano chose Lake Como and the Hilton’s panoramic suite to celebrate their journey—an intimate, personal moment surrounded by beauty.
A day made of details and light
The story began in the suite: a quiet morning, a warm coffee between pillows, and the light of Lake Como filtering through the windows.
Later, we followed them to the terrace for a relaxing moment in the Jacuzzi, while the team at Event Couture transformed the space into a dream-like ceremony area, designed with refined shapes and unique floral compositions.
The vows, the view, the feeling
The ceremony, curated by Veronica of Popupweddingdestinations, took place on the terrace with the lake as a backdrop.
The flowers, the soft air, and the setting sun turned everything gold.
Before dinner, we strolled with Alice and Stefano around the rooftop pool, capturing a few last portraits as the sky turned deep blue.
And finally, the candlelit dinner, served on the private terrace, closed this unforgettable chapter. We left them alone, in silence, surrounded by the warm lights of Lake Como.
