When in Italy....


take the opportunity to shoot brides

wherever possible...

This couple was being photographed 
(very adequately, I must say)
and I was on vacation.

But that dress caught my eye!

Look at the weight of the fabric! 

Look at the detail!

They were in the right spot,
and so was I!

I couldn't resist.
So happy,
so pleased with the day,
so ready for the future...

I think this may be one of the reasons that 
I adore weddings.
So much promise, hope and joy! 

Of course there are exceptions,
but for the most part I have 
had the privilege to shoot 
many weddings just as 
happy and special as the one above.

Rarely 
in
such
wonderful
locale
though....

  1. What a gorgeous photo. It's too bad you couldn't have shared this somehow with the happy couple. I can hardly think their professional photographers did it any better.

  7. Sensational dress...but can you imagine how much weight that added to her small frame? I'm sure her attendants were following her around, fixing the train and such all day long.

    Worth it for the beauty though......
