A Real Lake Como Elopement: Jasmine & Taha

Jasmine and Taha traveled from Canada to celebrate their Lake Como elopement at Villa Monastero.

They chose to get ready in a private home in Varenna, a quiet and intimate setting that allowed them to fully enjoy the start of their day. Their ceremony took place in the villa’s gardens, surrounded by greenery and overlooking the lake. It was simple, emotional, and deeply personal.


After the ceremony, we took a boat across Lake Como. That moment, just the two of them on the water, became one of the highlights of their day. No schedule, no distractions, just time to be present and take it all in.
