“I’m sure we need to meet!” That was the message Bogdan sent to a girl he liked on Tinder, before inviting her on a date in Tsaritsyno Park.
From their very first meeting, Valya and Bogdan felt as if they had known each other for years. Shared interests, similar goals, matching tastes and, above all, how easy it all felt – it seemed too good to be true!
More than six years have passed since then. The couple has traveled to all corners of the world and seen countless breathtaking places, yet Tsaritsyno is still one of their favorites. And no wonder! It is the very place where they first met, where their story began.
Valentina and Bogdan chose an official wedding ceremony on Lake Como in our “Wedding for Two” format.
The couple stayed at the charming Villa Mojana boutique hotel in Limonta, right on the shore of Lake Como. It is the perfect place to soak up the beauty and atmosphere of Como and plan a dreamy photo shoot – the windows open onto panoramic views of the lake.
The wedding day began with a romantic, sensual photo session in pajamas.
For the first look, we chose a picturesque spot on the villa grounds – by the pool overlooking Lake Como.
From there we headed to the Italian version of a registry office – the town hall of Bellagio, where smiling staff unite the hearts not only of Italians, but of couples from abroad too!
As is tradition, the ceremony took place in the town hall’s picturesque courtyard, decorated with fresh flowers and bathed in sunlight. Valya and Bogdan had prepared seriously for this important moment: they wrote each other vow letters and read them aloud during the ceremony.
With the official part over, it was finally time to relax, pop a bottle of prosecco and set off on a boat ride toward one of the picturesque historic villas that dot the shores of Lake Como.
Villa Monastero, a favorite spot for wedding photo shoots on Lake Como, gave the newlyweds stunning views, soft flowing light and unforgettable emotions! Valentina’s dress floated and fluttered with her every move.
Valya and Bogdan spent the evening of their wedding day just the two of them. After the boat ride and photo shoot, they said goodbye to the photographer and went to a restaurant to discover new sides of their beloved Italian cuisine, admire the evening view of Lake Como and say the words meant only for each other.
