I met Katie and Philipp on a sunny and warm day in mid October after the Papal audience where they had just received a Sposi Novelli blessing by none other than the Pope himself. The sun was high and the square bustiling with people. I always like to start my photo sessions by providing my clients with a few posing principles. This is also a great opportunity to get to know them, crack a couple of jokes, and make them feel at ease. We began the photo shoot just off Saint Peter's Square, right at the end of Viale della Conciliazione, and walked our way towards Castel Sant'Angelo and its bridge. Along the way, I captured beautiful images of Katie and Philipp with Saint Peter's Cathedral as a backdrop. Castel Sant'Angelo is indeed another great location, very much sought-after by my Sposi Novelli couples. There, we shot a few more iconic images of Katie and Philipp. We then decided to wrap up our Sposi Novelli photo shoot on the Tiber riverbank, a spot that enjoys an amazing view of Sant'Angelo castle and its bridge. We shot our last images there and bid our goodbyes.
Do not hesitate to hire Luca for photography in Rome. We were married in the US in October 2022 and flew to Rome the next day for Sposi Novelli a few days later. In the months leading up to the big day, I was so stressed planning both a huge wedding and a 2+ week honeymoon, but I wanted arrange for professional photographs following our blessing in Rome. I relied on overwhelmingly positive internet reviews of The Rome Photographer and was not disappointed. Luca was prompt and professional (and carried my bag that I did not want in the photos). He gave us tips on posing that I wish we had for our actual wedding! We shot for an hour and he totally understood when I said I was too tired to do any more shots. My husband loved him too! Thanks, Luca, for these eternal memories.
