The photoshoot, frame by frame

Mountains and a lean-in

Wide view of a couple walking hand in hand along a curving garden path at Villa del Balbianello, the villa and green hills beside them.

Down the garden path

A couple shares a quiet moment on the carved stone balcony of Villa del Balbianello, the wall draped in ivy and red geraniums.

On the ivy balcony

A woman in a pastel striped dress wraps an arm around her partner beside a tall ivy wall on a Villa del Balbianello terrace.

Beside the ivy wall

Leaning on the balustrade

A woman takes her partner's hand by a stone statue on the Villa del Balbianello terrace, with Lake Como and mountains beyond.

The test between them

Nose to nose and laughing, they hold the little test up between them, the blue lake shining out of focus behind.

A bearded man in a knitted polo holds his partner close as they smile into each other's eyes against a Lake Como mountain view.

Eyes on each other

A couple stands arm in arm on the lawn under the great umbrella-shaped tree at Villa del Balbianello, statues along the wall.

Under the great tree

A man hugs his partner from behind and kisses her cheek as she holds a pregnancy test at her waist on a green garden path.

Holding the news

He wraps his arms around her from behind and leans in for a kiss while she holds the test low at her waist, both of them smiling.

Looking down from above, a couple walks past the small octagonal kiosk on the lakeside terrace of Villa del Balbianello.

Past the little kiosk

A woman in a pastel striped maxi dress sits barefoot on the cushions of a wooden boat, Villa del Balbianello across the water.

Barefoot on the boat

A couple relaxes on the white cushioned deck of a wooden boat, her legs over his lap, with Villa del Balbianello on the point.

Lazing on the deck

A man lifts his laughing partner on the deck of a wooden boat on Lake Como, Villa del Balbianello and the mountains behind.

Lifted on the lake

He sweeps her up on the deck and she throws her head back laughing, the villa on its green point floating behind them on the lake.

A woman in a backless striped dress stands at the wheel of a wooden boat, smiling down at her partner in sunglasses beside her.

At the wheel

A woman in a rainbow-striped dress sits at the stern of a wooden boat, the white wake trailing across Lake Como behind her.
