High school sweethearts on a trip to Italy. A little boat rocking gently on Lake Como. This wasn’t a grand production! It was a slow, easy afternoon. And that’s what made it unforgettable. Katlyn and Wyatt’s story is one of those sweet, quiet loves that feels timeless. They had never stepped in front of a professional camera before their engagement session. “This is our first time in front of a camera,” they told me. And yet, in front of my lens, their ease and connection made every moment feel completely natural.

We met in the charming town of Varenna and later took a gentle boat ride across the shimmering waters of Lake Como. The light that afternoon was cinematic, wrapping everything in a soft, golden glow—the perfect backdrop for two people so naturally connected. If you’re looking for a Varenna engagement photographer, want romantic, editorial images on the water, or if you are dreaming of editorial-style photos in Bellagio or anywhere on the lake, this kind of boat session is an unforgettable choice.

It wasn’t a styled shoot or a heavily planned production. It was simply two people, deeply in love, savoring the magic of a once-in-a-lifetime trip and choosing to share their engagement news in the most personal way—through images that felt like them.

If you’re a couple planning an engagement or wedding in Lake Como, imagine announcing your love with photographs that tell your story as naturally and beautifully as it unfolds. Katlyn and Wyatt’s session was proof that sometimes, the quietest moments speak the loudest.
