Lake Orta

Known as the darling little sister of the Italian lakes, Lake Orta is one of the great Italian wedding destinations. A beloved and quaint setting for weddings and honeymoons alike, the romantic region is framed in forested shores, and peppered with sleepy medieval towns. There is even a tiny island in the middle of the lake: Isola San Giulio. The island and the town are largely pedestrian-only, which is perfect for a romantic, leisurely wedding photo shoot as you stroll through umbrella-filled piazzas.
