Honeymoon photo shoot in Venice
Honeymoon 1 hour shooting in Venice
With a consistent reduction in cases of covid-19 across the country, Italy is once again re-establishing tourism by allowing travellers from some countries, including the United States, Canada and Australia. The most popular destinations remain Venice, Florence and Rome, with the Veneto Capital seemingly the favourite for honeymooners.
Alyssa and Lucian came from California to spend their honeymoon in Venice, and we had the pleasure to photograph them. They chose the 1 hour photo package, which is enough to cover most of the major sights of this beautiful city. When we schedule the photo shooting I try to identify with the clients the kind of photos they are looking for, if they are more fun or romantic, posed or spontaneous, and so the travel photographer in Venice can define the best route and times to suggest and make the experience as pleasant as possible without giving up a beautiful photo gallery to remember the dream trip.
Rome by Night
Sometimes we have the nice opportunity to photograph Rome at night
Rome is one of my favorite cities for night photography. Most of the monuments are lit up. And if during the day we are astonished by so much information or looking for the directions on GPS, in the evening some landscapes change and leave these monuments, or part of them in evidence. The Trevi Fountain, one of my favorite spots, is a must-see at night.
Some narrowest streets in Trastevere or around the Pantheon, increase their charm with the restaurant lights. There are many of them that only open for dinner, and with the tables outside, some streets are completely transformed. Of course, the flavors of the pasta and pizza dishes contributes a lot to this very inviting atmosphere.
I don't live in the city. So, when I have a photo shoot in Rome scheduled in the morning, I usually go the day before and take the opportunity to go out for dinner to take some pictures.
Photoshoot in Milan
Our first photoshoot in Milan, at the Duomo
A few days ago we did the first photo shooting in Milan. Last year we had photographed a wedding. And it was very different from the other cities here in Italy. Undoubtedly, Milan is the least "rustic" city, comparing in terms of architecture with Venice, Florence and Rome. Not less attractive for a vacation photographer who seeks a good background on every wall whatever the city. The Arch of Peace is a very imposing monument, and a few steps from Sempione Park, great for those who like photos with a bit of green, nature, lake ...
Going towards the Duomo, we pass by the charming quarter of Brera, with shops and restaurants that lend some of the picturesque Italian air away from the modernity around. If we are lucky or have time to wait for one of the classic yellow buses on the rails we will have a very iconic photo.
After all this there are still two of the main points of the city, the Duomo and the Vittorio Emanuele Gallery. In those hours it is good to let the imagination work to obtain original photos and that show the greatness and majesty of this cathedral.

Honeymoon Photo Session in Florence
An american couple in honeymoon on the streets of Florence
Portraying people on travelloing was not an idea when I started working with photography. But really, being in a Country that holds much of Unesco's world heritage, and in a city that breathes the Renaissance, it was not surprising the tourist appeal that has Florence. Then the requests for travel photos began to appear, and it was amazing from the outset to imagine the compositions that could make with this wealth of scenarios.
The biggest challenge for anyone who had never studied English was the language. And it still is, as you can see by the failures of my text. Fortunately, photography has its own language and does not need to be fully narrated. And Emilee and Mark, a couple of Americans, collaborated a lot for their honeymoon session. We walked through the streets of Florence without pretension of obligatory places and monuments, we just defined some points along the way to take as a sweet memory of your trip.
