Dear friends,
we are happy to invite you to our next wedding photography workshop, which will take place on
31 March 2026 at the iconic Villa Revel Parravicini on Lake Como, Italy. We are looking forward to an inspiring day together with you, filled with a captivating European atmosphere, a sense of nostalgia and the unmistakable charm of Lake Como – a place couples from all over the world choose for their wedding.
Villa Revel Parravicini is an outstanding example of neoclassical architecture. The villa is surrounded by a lush garden, perfect for hosting outdoor ceremonies and photo sessions, with views that capture all the charm of the lakeside landscape.
ABOUT THE PROJECT

Together with our team and an actively working wedding planner, we will recreate that luxurious, slightly nostalgic feeling of celebration that makes couples from all over the world choose Lake Como for their wedding.
For workshop participants, this is not only an opportunity to build a portfolio that reflects their own unique vision, but also a chance to connect with each other and with our team, including the wedding planner, and lay the foundations for future real wedding projects.

In this case, the recipient is responsible for reporting and paying the VAT in their country in accordance with local law.
