passalaqua Lake como | Italy
October at Passalacqua felt like opening a window you didn’t know you’d been holding shut. Cool air against skin. Gold caught in the trees. The hush of morning, their footsteps soft across the gardens, no plan but to follow the light, no need but to be near each other. Beth moved through it all like she belonged there, a silk dress skimming over her, intentional, effortless, a softness with an edge. Fingers brushing. Eyes meeting and laughing out loud, without apology.
They took the boat across the lake, hair caught by the wind, the world spinning into something bright and untamed. Villa Balbianello waited, old and aching and beautiful, holding a ceremony like something pulled from a dream, vows murmured over water, the slow spill of piano keys and violin strings folding into the garden air. It was small, but it filled the day, filled their chests, made everything hum.
They wandered, loose and light, not rushing, not needing to make it more than it was. The garden, the lake, the sun slipping lower. Back at Passalacqua, the villa glowed, windows open to the hush of nightfall. Drinks in their room, shoulders touching, the kind of quiet you only get when you know you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. And then dinner, tucked away in some little corner, the evening stretching wide and slow around them.

THE GALLERY
Beth and ryan
Silk cascading in soft, liquid folds, catching the light like ripples on water.
Beth and Ryan spent the morning side by side, moving easily between laughter and quiet , he helped her into her dress, she worked on her bouquet with the sweet florist lady from the Passalaqua, the scent of fresh-cut flowers mixing with the autumn air. Beth, a renowned fashion producer with an instinctive, razor-sharp eye, brought her signature brilliance to every detail of the day. She chose a Vivienne Westwood gown that was less a dress and more a sculptural marvel — silk cascading in soft, liquid folds, catching the light like ripples on water. The iconic Westwood corsetry whispered of quiet structure beneath fluidity, a masterful tension between classic elegance and the faintest edge of rebellion.
Together, they carried a magnetic energy: playful yet grounded, tender yet electric. There was no performance between them, only presence — a couple who knew each other deeply and chose, again and again, to meet in that space of laughter, touch, and shared breath.
As night fell over Passalacqua, Beth slipped into her second look — a delicate slip dress trimmed with soft feathers, a whisper of a cape trailing behind her like a hush in the dark. She and Ryan moved through the villa’s quiet glow, the hush of evening wrapped around them, heading to the hotel bar for a few slow drinks. There was something electric yet easy in the air — the kind of night where time stretches, where every glance lingers a little longer. Afterward, they wandered to dinner, slipping into the sweetest little restaurant corner, candlelight flickering between them, knees brushing under the table, laughter low and close. It wasn’t a night about spectacle or show; it was about sinking fully into each other, into the softness and warmth of it all, letting the day fold gently into memory.

"Finding the right photo/film duo was a top priority for us. We knew these relics would allow us to relive our day and become the fragments we would pass on for generations to come. Planning an international wedding can be a wild ride, yet knowing we had a professional, organized team gave us the confidence to relax and be present. When we found Flora & Grace, we felt relief and excitement. Their imagery is authentic and timeless, artistic and inspiring. Jasmin and Tim were a breeze to work with, before, during, and after our Venice affair. And, now we have these incredible, emotion-filled mementos to love on for the rest of our lives."
"Their imagery is authentic and timeless, artistic and inspiring!"

"You have created art "en passant", which in our perception on the day, we hardly noticed - and if then only as very pleasant. You have far exceeded our expectations and given us a wonderful gallery of memories to last a lifetime."

"On a wedding day, multiple things can be stressful, but with Jasmin, photography was not one of them. She talked with us a lot before and understood what we wanted out of it and what we're comfortable with. She was light as a feather the whole time and everything felt very natural. She was smiling, laughing and open to all our needs. We trusted her art and she trusted our story. Once we saw the final pictures, we actually got to relive our entire day which was priceless. Everything was captured with the same energy it happened, from the location, to getting ready, to the first look, the ceremony, the guests, the hugs, the tears and the smiles."
"She was light as a feather the whole time and everything felt very natural."
