What an absolute privilege to be part of this wonderful Lake Garda Wedding in one if Italy's most picturesque regions. After our pre wedding meeting at a wonderful Indian restaurant in Manchester, I flew out to meet Gemma and Andy at the magnificent Hotel Villa del Sogno on the Gardone Riviera, with just twenty of their closest family and friends for an intimate gathering that consisted of the ceremony at the wonderfully colourful town hall followed by a stroll and then a car journey through winding Italian streets in a teeny, beautifully restored, original Fiat 500 that took us to the harbour before boarding the boat which finally took the entire wedding party on a Champagne popping tour of the lake itself!

The Italian sun was very much on our side ensuring that the finest wining and dining could be enjoyed on the panoramic terrace overlooking the lake and as the sun went down and the band struck up (who doesn't love a live band at weddings), the dancing began and continued well into the evening with a sublime backdrop of moonlight reflecting off the still waters of the lake. Just perfect.
