Suzy & Patrick’s Lake Como, Italy elopement was perhaps one of our favorite weddings of all time. Mainly, because Suzy is the little sister to Alicia, whose destination Paris wedding a few years back was our first introduction to the Australian Curtis sisters. We fell in love with all of them (they have another sister too), and were just over the moon for the chance to meet up with them again in Lake Como, and to meet Patrick. What an incredible, beautiful day!
They were married in the gardens of the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, with a small strings trio. The girls wore soft pink and Suzy’s stunning A-line gown positively glowed in that particular light Lake Como is known for. We took a vintage wooden boat over to Bellagio where we photographed Sue and Pat along the cobblestone corridors, and they finished off their evening with a private dinner inside one of Grand Hotel Tremezzo’s salons.
Location: Lake Como, Italy (Grand Hotel Tremezzo & Bellagio)

Kevin’s Favorite Memory: On the way back over from taking photos in Bellagio across the lake, an incredible raging storm blew in, it came in fast and super intense. We had to jump on a ferry really quick and head over with the water churning and the boat bobbing up and down. By the time we got back to Grand Hotel Tremezzo, everyone was soaked! But Suzy and Patrick were in great spirits, they laughed and had fun with it instead of being upset at something they couldn’t control. I felt so thankful to be a part of their day, I tried to just soak it all up and enjoy every moment. Everything was wonderful.
Katie’s Favorite Memory: I’m in love with this couple. On a subsequent trip to Italy, Sue and Pat accompanied us on a week long road trip from Zurich to Como to Cinque Terre. We found kindred spirits in them and will never forget this wedding!
