Villa Baroni Restaurant and Hotel, Lake Varese, Italy Elopement Photo Story Award

Lake Varese, Italy wedding image of the couple on a small boat

The couple, accompanied by their two witnesses, enjoyed a romantic boat ride, celebrating their small but meaningful wedding

They say it’s never too late to get married, and this couple who met a little later in life are the proof. The two of them got ready at home and travelled by boat with their witnesses to Villa Baroni, a beautiful and elegant hotel on Lake Varese. Their Buddhist ceremony was performed by a Tibetan monk, and after the ceremony they held a dinner in the same location. The couple got to spend their day in the beautiful outdoors surrounded not only by their closest family members and friends, but by sunshine, lush greenery, and blue waters.

In this image, the couple sits together at the bow of the boat as they travel to the Villa Baroni across the lake along with their witnesses.
