Want some amazing wedding or engagement portraits? Italy does not disappoint. It is a wedding photographer’s dream and we were fortunately able to spend a week touring and photographing different parts of the country.

This couple joined us in Italy on one of our destination portrait sessions. We traveled to Venice, Rome, Florence and Milan and took wedding and engagement portraits for them.

We started off in Venice and photographed St Mark’s square, in front of gondolas and the surrounding area/canals. These portraits feature a red dress for her and a casual suit for him. It matched the architecture perfectly.

We then took a train to Rome. We photographed the couple in their wedding attire for wedding type portraits. We spent a couple hours at sunrise photographing in front the Coliseum. Pro tip… to avoid crowds, go at sunrise. Be sure to be finished by 8am before the first tour busses arrive. This will allow you to take portraits with minimal tourists. No one wants a million tourist in their wedding portraits, right?

After Rome, we took a train to Florence for a couple of nights. We rented Vespas and took a trip into wine country to photograph in vineyards. This was a fun and relaxing day. We took engagement type portraits for this session as we were limited in what we could bring with us on the Vespas.

Finally, we finished in Milan and the iconic church in the center of the shopping district. This shoot was late at night, again to try to avoid a million tourists in the square. We used a long flowy yellow dress to give it a fashion type look.

This trip was AMAZING. We got to provide an amazing destination portrait experience for our client and they got to spend a week touring Italy. If you are getting married, think about doing your wedding portraits in Italy :)
