Raindrops and Ruins — A Romantic Wedding Photoshoot in Rome

Roberta & Samuele

If you’re dreaming of a timeless, romantic wedding surrounded by history, art, and effortless charm, there’s no better destination than Rome. As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing love stories in some of the most magical locations in the world — and Roberta & Samuele’s wedding photoshoot in Rome was nothing short of unforgettable.

This Italian couple chose the Eternal City for their post-wedding session, and together we explored its most iconic and picturesque corners, creating a visual love letter to their story and to the city itself.

The Magic of Rome for Wedding Photography

Rome offers a rare blend of romance, history, and cinematic beauty. Every cobblestone street and hidden alley tells a story — perfect for couples seeking wedding photos that feel intimate, artistic, and full of soul. From majestic architecture to dreamy gardens, Rome is a photographer’s paradise and a couple’s dream backdrop.

Early Morning Intimacy at Fontana di Trevi

We began our session at Fontana di Trevi, one of Rome’s most iconic landmarks. To preserve a sense of intimacy (and avoid the crowds), we scheduled the shoot early in the morning, just as the first light touched the marble statues and sparkling water. The empty piazza allowed Roberta & Samuele to fully embrace the moment, sharing quiet laughter and kisses with nothing but the fountain’s gentle soundtrack in the background.

Vintage Romance at the Spanish Steps with a Red Vespa

Next, we made our way to the Spanish Steps, where a classic red Vespa added a dash of vintage Italian flair to the shoot. The mix of elegant architecture and this playful prop turned the photos into a scene straight out of an old Italian film. Roberta’s flowing dress and Samuele’s tailored suit contrasted beautifully against the stone steps and vibrant Vespa — creating images that were both chic and full of personality.

Artistic Elegance at Palazzo Barberini

Our final stop was the hidden gem of Gallerie Nazionali di Arte Antica – Palazzo Barberini. This location offered a serene and artistic setting, far from the bustle of the city. In the garden, surrounded by classical statues and lush greenery, Roberta & Samuele looked like characters from a Renaissance painting. The timeless beauty of this location provided the perfect close to our Roman adventure.
