A Romantic Pre-Wedding Photoshoot in the Heart of Rome
Rome is a city where history, art, and romance intertwine, making it the perfect backdrop for love stories. When Helena and Douglas reached out to me for their pre-wedding photoshoot, I knew we were about to create something truly magical. Their connection, laughter, and the way they effortlessly moved together made this session feel like a scene straight out of a classic Italian film.
Why a Pre-Wedding Photoshoot?
A pre-wedding photoshoot is not just about taking beautiful pictures before the big day; it’s a way to celebrate your love story in a relaxed and intimate setting. For Helena and Douglas, this session was a chance to capture their essence as a couple before stepping into their new chapter together.

- A Timeless Memory: The photos from this session become keepsakes that they can cherish forever.
- A Celebration of Love: Beyond just wedding photography, a pre-wedding shoot is a celebration of love in a personalised, meaningful way.

Iconic Locations for a Love Story in Rome
Helena and Douglas wanted their photos to reflect the timeless elegance of Rome, so we carefully selected a few of the city’s most enchanting spots:
1. The Trevi Fountain — A Symbol of Eternal Love
The early morning hours gifted us with a nearly empty Trevi Fountain, where Helena and Douglas shared a playful moment, tossing a coin over their shoulders—a wish for their love to last forever.
Insider Tip: Early morning shoots at Trevi Fountain guarantee soft light and fewer crowds, allowing for intimate and cinematic captures.
2. Strolling Through Rome’s Cobblestone Streets
Some of the most beautiful moments happen between locations—a spontaneous twirl, a whispered joke, or a stolen kiss on a quiet street. Rome’s hidden alleys gave us the perfect setting for these candid shots.
Insider Tip: Don’t be afraid to walk, dance, and interact naturally during your session—the best shots come from real moments.
3. The Colosseum — A Grand Backdrop for Love
Nothing says timeless romance like standing before one of the world’s most iconic landmarks. With soft morning light illuminating the Colosseum, Helena and Douglas embraced, capturing a moment that felt both grand and deeply personal.Insider
Tip: Positioning the couple slightly off-centre allows the monumental beauty of Rome to frame the love story.
