Capturing Timeless Elegance: Katya and Joey's Dream Wedding at Villa Erba, Lake Como

When it comes to capturing unforgettable moments of love and luxury, we at Chromata Films have had the privilege of witnessing some of the most breathtaking weddings around the world. But none quite compare to the magical celebration we recently had the honor of filming at the enchanting Villa Erba on the picturesque Lake Como. Katya and Joey's wedding an absolute feast for the eyes, and it was made possible by an extraordinary team of vendors who worked tirelessly to create an unforgettable experience.

The festivities kicked off with a welcome day at the famous Lido di Lenno, where guests arrived in style, gliding ona big boat across the waters of Lake Como. Alejandra Poupel and Sacks Productions, the wedding planners and producers teams, orchestrated an afternoon filled with fun and relaxation. From ping pong tables to serene lakeside lounging, guests reveled in the beauty of Lake Como. And that was just the beginning.

The second evening left everyone speechless for the welcome dinner hosted at the exquisite Villa Gastel. The villa, adorned with Italian charm, became a canvas for Vincenzo Dascanio's design and floral artistry. The tables were adorned with lush arrangements of locally sourced blooms that effortlessly merged with the villa's historic charm (not to mention the roosters sculptures !) . The warm glow of fairy lights, the aroma of Italian cuisine, and the soft hum of laughter created an ambiance like no others.

Throughout Katya and Joey's wedding weekend, our team had the privilege of capturing every emotion, every tear, and every joyful (and crazy) moment. The stunning work of Bottega53, the talented photographers, perfectly complemented our cinematography, ensuring that every detail of this extraordinary celebration would be etched in the couple's hearts and minds forever.
Entertainment was brought to life by Gabriele Rizzi Lab, who orchestrated captivating shows and performances that transported guests to another world. The couple's grand entrance was a showstopper, setting the stage for an evening filled with live music, dancing, and unforgettable memories.

Katya and Joey's wedding at Villa Erba was a true testament to love, luxury, and the power of collaboration. With the visionary guidance of Sharon Sacks, Robin Holt and Alejandra Poupel .

We pushed the boundaries of creativity by incorporating cutting-edge technology. The new Kinefinity LF2 camera, known for its exceptional image quality and dynamic range, played a pivotal role in achieving the cinematic brilliance we sought. Pairing it with Aivascope adapters brought a mesmerizing anamorphic look to our shots, adding a touch of vintage elegance to the modern wedding setting. The Mamiya lenses we used further elevated the visual storytelling, allowing us to craft unique, character-rich frames. And when it came to breathtaking aerial shots, the DJI Inspire 3 drone proved to be our trusty companion, delivering the true cinematic experience that perfectly complemented the grandeur of Villa Erba and its surroundings.
