I Went to Italy and Didn’t Shoot a Wedding

I went to Italy and didn’t shoot a wedding (sorry for the clickbait).

But damn, that would have been fun. Instead, over ten days, I explored Italy with my favorite travel crew—my wife, Patti, and our good friends Marc and Lysette. We hit all the sights in Rome, Florence, Tuscany, and Venice, averaging 15,000 steps a day. And yes, we got a lot of rain! Picture daily drizzles that had us negotiating slippery cobblestone and dodging puddles all while balancing gelato and drinking copious amounts of wine.

My travel photography is a lot like my wedding style: always chasing light, shadows, creative compositions, and those small, interesting details that make even familiar places feel fresh. Here are a few of my favorite shots—hope you enjoy Italy through my lens!

And yes—she got the purse! Big thanks to Marc for his expert negotiating skills!
