The early morning light in Florence has a gentle quality. On this particular day, it wrapped the city in soft golden tones as I met a couple dressed in elegant white and ivory hues – perfectly harmonizing with the timeless beauty around us. Our shoot began at Piazzale Michelangelo, where the city unfolds like a painting beneath your feet. With the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, and Arno River bathed in sunrise light, every frame felt like a whisper of love and calm.
They held hands quietly, smiled at each other with a softness that can’t be directed—only observed. The absence of crowds, the clarity of morning air, and the way their light outfits shimmered in the warmth made the atmosphere feel dreamlike. We moved slowly, allowing moments to unfold naturally, capturing those fleeting glances and tender gestures.
From there, we walked just a few minutes uphill to the magnificent San Miniato al Monte. This lesser-known gem offers one of the most stunning views over Florence, framed by the intricate beauty of Romanesque architecture and peaceful grounds that feel suspended in time. The serenity of this place, the elegance of their presence in light tones, and the stillness of the morning became a perfect composition.
I always strive to blend the character of the city with the authenticity of the couple. With each session, I look for light, emotion, and a sense of timeless connection. Florence, with its poetic textures and luminous architecture, provides the perfect canvas—and when paired with such tenderness and simplicity, the results speak for themselves.
This session reminded me why I love mornings: the purity, the possibility, the quiet confidence that something beautiful is unfolding.
If you’re dreaming of your own magical proposal or engagement in Florence, especially on a private terrace, I would be honored to help you preserve it forever.
