Honeymoon in Italy: Ludmila and Dmitrij

My new couple is Ludmila and Dmitrij, who came to Europe immediately after they married in Moscow to spend some weeks on a honeymoon trip to Italy. All in all, they planned to spend some two weeks discovering the country and its culture. Luckily, Ludmila found me as a photographer in Rome, and I can tell you their wedding trip story. Or even not the whole July story, but just the beginning of it.

Planning the shooting

This honeymoon in Rome started as usually early in the morning when the city received the first sunbeams. The day before the shooting, I met Ludmila and Dmitrij, and we had dinner together to discuss the issues and make the plan for the shooting.

They were a bit fussy about the details, such as cars and people around, since they saw Rome during the day and could understand the pictures they saw on my pages. Of course, when I explained the whole deal to them, they were eager to get up as early as possible to get really unique photos from Italy in July.

Morning photography

You see, the Italian capital is considered a magic place, and I strongly believe in this. Whenever I go on a shoot, whether an engagement, wedding, or honeymoon, the sun and the city direct me and the couple. We always try to follow the beams and the light.

Together, we discover the city and its beauty, enjoy the beginning of the day, and, of course, take pictures.

Altare della Patria

In the heart of Rome is a vast construction site named Altare della Patrian. It impresses me with the size and style of the architecture. Vittoriano is the second name of the construction.

After a small pause during which we enjoyed the views and observed the first Romans slowly rushing to their morning buses, we continued our honeymoon photo shoot.

Spanish Steps

If you have already been to Rome and seen its main attractions, but not in the early morning, you will be pretty surprised at the pictures below. Spanish Steps are absolutely empty, with no people at all.

The couple was completely astonished at what they saw. Rome only for them two! Let’s dance, baby!

Vila Borghese

Step by step, picture by picture, we reached one of the beloved areas by all couples traveling to Rome—Villa Borghese. Personally, I also adore this location. It is super comfortable, huge, and atmospheric. I like taking photos there, and my brides and newlyweds do like to come here as well. The place has strong energy and makes people feel comfortable and enjoy every sight and moment. It is just the right ambiance for the beginning of a honeymoon in Italy.

I don’t know why Villa Borghese is so attractive since every couple I work with in Rome and bring to the Villa shares with me, as a photographer, quite new impressions and emotions. Newlyweds are super happy and want to show their happiness. Engaged couples are surprised and notice nothing around them but each other. And married people going to Italy for a honeymoon are very romantic.

I need to thank Ludmila and Dmitrij for the great job we did together one morning in July. I hope you enjoyed the first step of your honeymoon in Italy and my company. See you soon!

Sincerely, Artur
