A Valentine’s Day Photoshoot in Rome!
Capturing Love in the Eternal City
What better way to celebrate love than with a beautiful engagement session set against the Eternal City’s most breathtaking backdrops? We recently captured a couple’s special moments at three iconic locations—Trevi Fountain, Pincio Terrace, and the Colosseum. With a mix of classic elegance and natural chemistry, this session was all about fun, movement, and making the most of the romantic atmosphere while keeping things natural and spontaneous.
Starting at Trevi Fountain – A Morning Glow
We kicked things off early at Fontana di Trevi, one of the most iconic locations for a Rome photoshoot! Arriving at sunrise meant fewer crowds and a magical soft light illuminating the flowing water. Our couple, dressed in chic yet comfortable attire, took center stage as we captured candid moments of laughter, movement, and having fun while photo shooting in the Eternal city!
A Taxi Ride to Pincio Terrace – Overlooking the City
After wrapping up at Trevi fountain, we hopped in a taxi and made our way to Pincio Terrace, a hidden gem for romantic photography. Overlooking Piazza del Popolo, this location provided a scenic backdrop with panoramic views of the city. Here, we took advantage of the golden morning light, capturing stunning images and spontaneous moments as the couple enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. With a local photographer from Rome helping to find the most scenic spots where the light is best!
Final Stop – The Colosseum’s Timeless Grandeur
No engagement photo session in Rome would be complete without a stop at the Colosseum. The grandeur of this ancient amphitheater added a dramatic contrast to the softer, more intimate moments of the session. Walking along the nearby streets, we snapped some candid shots that highlighted both the couple’s natural connection and the incredible history surrounding them. The mix of ancient ruins and modern love made for some unforgettable images. If you’re considering a proposal in Rome, this location offers an epic setting for an unforgettable moment.
