Couples

Between the proposal and the wedding lies the best window for a couples session that does not feel like one: engagement pictures in Rome, Florence or Venice, with routes, outfit rules and the light question.

Three honeymoon shapes — the lakes, Amalfi and Capri, Tuscany — and what each is like to shoot: ferry timetables, the coast road in August, dawn in Val d'Orcia.

The first ten minutes are stiff for everyone. Then you walk, someone laughs for real, and the camera disappears — the actual script of a couples hour.
