Jewish Wedding Photographer Lake Como - Laurent Baranes

Jewish Wedding Photographer Lake Como - Houppa, Tradition, Prestige Villas | Laurent Baranes

Jewish wedding photographer at Lake Como. Laurent Baranes captures every sacred moment of your union: from the chuppah ceremony and kosher reception to historic villas and prestigious natural settings.

Lake Como: majestic nature, heritage and spirituality

Lake Como is one of Europe's most coveted destinations for high-end weddings. Its 18thᵉ century Italian villas, gardens, terraces overlooking the lake, and discreet ambience make it the ideal place to celebrate an elegant Jewish wedding, respectful of tradition, and deeply moving.

I'm Laurent Baranes, a professional photographer ranked 57ᵉ worldwide by the WPE, specializing in prestigious Jewish weddings. I operate in Italy and internationally with a discreet, structured approach that is deeply respectful of ritual.

Exceptional locations for a Jewish wedding on Lake Como

Private villas

  • Villa Balbiano: aristocratic atmosphere, reception rooms, waterside garden
  • Villa Erba: vast estate, perfect for large houppot and large kosher dinners
  • Villa Pizzo: ideal for a lakeside getaway, sober elegance
  • Villa del Balbianello: spectacular setting, popular for intimate ceremonies

Kosher receptions

  • On-site organization with Italian kosher caterer (Milan or Florence)
  • Glatt/Beth Din-certified French or Israeli caterer available
  • Coordination with rabbi, cantor, orchestra or DJ depending on custom (Sephardic, Ashkenazi)

Jewish ceremonies: elegance and faithfulness to rituals

My knowledge of a traditional Jewish wedding allows me to photograph it with the greatest respect:

  1. Preparations for hattan and kallah in two separate areas
  2. Badeken: an intimate and moving moment of unveiling
  3. Ceremony under the chuppah: 7 blessings, broken glass, signing of the ketubah
  4. Séouda: festive meal, speeches, musical atmosphere
  5. Separate or mixed dances according to your tradition: hora, mizrahi, ashkenazi

Photographic style

  • High-end reporting, natural light, absolute discretion
  • Enhancing the puppa, the landscape and human interaction
  • Faithful colors, Italian textures, elegant composition
  • Fast delivery via secure gallery
  • Options: albums made in Italy, custom boxes, Fine Art prints

Testimonial

"We organized our Jewish wedding at Villa Balbiano. The ceremony took place by the lake under a flowery houppa. Laurent was able to document everything with a rare sensitivity, without ever interrupting the ritual. Each photo recounts an emotion, a silence, a true moment."
- Daphné & Michaël, Lake Como

A typical Jewish wedding at Lake Como

  1. Preparations at the villa (or partner hotel)
  2. Separate portraits and badeken in a private room

  4. Cocktails on the terraces
  5. Kosher dinner, speeches, traditional music
  6. Dancing and a hushed atmosphere in the evening
