Amidst the countless adventures of a photographer’s life in Tuscany and amidst all the memorable moments, this casual couple photo shoot in Florence is etched forever in my heart. There’s nothing more enchanting than capturing the essence of a couple deeply in love, especially during the most beautiful phase of their lives. While weddings often bring stress and an endless checklist, slipping into a casually elegant attire, sporting stylish glasses, and donning one’s best smile is all it takes to feel fantastic and create timeless photographs.
Picture this: on a warm October day, I encountered this lovely couple near the Santa Croce district at sunset. Guiding them through the most picturesque and Instagram-worthy spots in the city was an absolute delight. Watching them stroll joyfully through the streets was a beautiful sight to behold. Passersby, tourists included, couldn’t help but envy their radiant smiles and carefree demeanor. We made the most of the stunning backdrops for their photos, from the stunning white marbles of the Basilica di Santa Croce to the iconic Ponte Vecchio against the backdrop of the Arno River. Capturing their moments along Via dei Neri, leading up to Palazzo Vecchio and the Galleria degli Uffizi at twilight, was truly magical.
It was an hour filled with smiles, kisses, and the embellishment of a warm yet not overly hot day. The light seemed to dance in harmony with us, blessing us with unforgettable colors. As darkness settled, I bid them farewell while curious tourists wondered who these captivating figures were. Perhaps not famous, but for a day, they were the protagonists of a beautiful story waiting to be told. All this magic unfolded thanks to this couple photo shoot in Florence, a glimpse of which I share with you below.
