Rose and Hunter on a luxury wooden boat tour on Lake Como, photographed in black and white

The first day

The lake, just for two

A wooden boat carried Rose and Hunter between Villa del Balbianello, quiet village streets and the open water—an afternoon with nowhere to hurry.

The wedding day

Vows beneath the trees

At Mandarin Oriental, the day moved from lake-view preparations to a garden ceremony and an evening that became wonderfully informal.
