I’m thrilled to make this post and let me explain the reason. Originally I come from Belarus, where I was born and went to school and University. Now I live in Rome, where I do feel inspired. And my couple, Kirill and Anna, are the first brides from my native town whom I was picturing in my beloved city during their honeymoon in Italy in September.
For them, it was the dream place to go after marriage. For me, it was a great responsibility.
It occurred that virtually we knew each other well, because we have a lot of common friends and colleagues, though we didn’t meet before. That is why from the very first moment of our meeting I felt that we have known each other at least for some years — so easy was to communicate and make the photo shooting with the couple.
A new country to discover
My brides like to travel. Therefore they did not feel like flatting themselves at the sun on the sands of a luxurious beach but preferred to discover new destinations: Italy and Spain. So, to my mind, it is an excellent solution for a honeymoon trip. And I was responsible for it not just as a photographer in Rome but as the person who showed the city and revealed its secrets to the couple.
The unique ambiance of the city
You know, I do love Rome, and even more, I love to share the city with the visitors. So to always have my eyes work and pictures fresh, I change the routes and never follow the same way for a photo shooting. But of course, there are such must-see venues as the Colosseum, Vatican City, Pantheon, and Fountain de Trevi, which are obligatory in any case, cause this is the very Rome.
This photo session was not an exception. The day before shooting we met with the Kirill and Anna, discussed the plan and the places where to. But during the trip around Rome we changed a bit the plan as it usually happens. I do hope that everything went smoothly. We will see what Kirill and Anna wrote in their follow up.
Good morning
Step by step, we visited new places, and all of them were free of people. That was only we who woke up so early. My new friends were gradually plunging into the city’s atmosphere, learning new facts and stories. Since it was just the beginning of their honeymoon in Italy, I wanted to inspire the newlyweds as much as possible.
The tempo of our photo shooting was pretty high. I do believe that it was a good start for the whole honeymoon trip. After some times spent in the historical part of Rome (well, I mean the one with the ruins, since the whole city is a very historical place) we came to Villa Borghese.
In such a lovely atmosphere, Kirill switched on Italian speaking mode! He was extremely impressed by the beauty of Rome. I was pleased to see his reaction and to feel that our tour and photo session was a success.
While we were preparing this post, Kirill and Anna sent us the review of work professional photographer in Rome Artur Jakutsevich performed. You can find it below.
ANNA: It was the most important event in my life. Therefore we were looking for something interesting, romantic and long-lasting. After several options were discussed, we stopped at Italy and Spain. These two countries match our characteristics. Therefore, we booked the tickets and hotels for our honeymoon in these European states.
Review about the photographer in Rome
Anna:
Rome is a very strong city. For it was full of surprises, hopes and discoveries! Actually I found all this together with my sweetheart and our outstanding photographer in Rome Artur. My review can’t describe all the feelings I have towards him. You know dreams are so close to reality and vice versa. Sometimes I could not tell one from another.
Coffee and croissants in the morning are more just breakfast, and this is an inspiration for the whole day. Pizza, pasta, and vine are more than just food. This is the way to discover and acknowledge the depth of culture. And my white wedding dress became the linking bridge between Italians and us. Random people and passers-by welcomed us, greeted us in a strange language, and wished us “Auguri”!
A wedding dress for locals is a beautiful object. Hardly anyone will pass you by without a sincere smile and warm wishes. With their sweet words and cars beeping, all these people made us understand that we have created an essential step in our life. And it makes you happy.
Rome is the city of the sweetest kisses and warmest hugs. It is open to everyone, but that morning it was our city, just for Kirill and me. It seems to me that I managed to feel the atmosphere of Italy because I was not alone there. I was with my sweetheart!
Kirill:
The worst thing I realised is that coffee is wrong, croissants are wrong, all the meals are not as tasty as they are in Italy. Yes, I do start with cuisine, since we are speaking about Italy and its capital. But still it is as hard to describe my feelings about the issue just as hard to find words to explain my impressions of the honeymoon trip.
Why did we choose Rome in September? I was sure we needed to knot our big day celebration with something robust, impressive, and long-lasting, just as in this city. It symbolizes for me real power and eternity. And did want to tighten our relationships with something as reliable as Rome.
We were wearing our dress and suit because they suit the city. And, of course, we were pleased to be warmly welcomed by locals and passers-by. It is just incredible. We wanted to take with us home not just some souvenirs and postcards but to capture the ambiance.
That is why we hired a professional photographer in Rome, Artur Jakutsevich. There was no democracy in our choice since he was the only person on the list. It was an easy and exciting morning we spent together. Thank you so much!
From my side, I would thank my beloved Kirill and Anna for inspiration, a lovely September morning spent together, the beauty, and the responsibility entrusted. To my mind, we did something fascinating, and this photo shooting in Rome was an excellent start to your honeymoon in Italy and, generally, your family life.
Sincerely yours, Artur Jakutsevich.
