Adventures In Rome : Trebor and Jacqueline's Italian Elopement

So..  I have finally got around to blogging this magical day which, although it now seems like a dream, was very real and pretty amazing.

As part of my memorable trip to Rome with Retreat Gatherings I had the privilege to photograph Trebor and Jacqueline's surprise elopement, which took place at Villa Bertolami. Just the two of them... all the way from the US, with just us as their photographers and witnesses... it really was something else.

If you haven't seen my other posts about this trip of a lifetime you can see our bridal inspiration shoot here ... and also hear the story of this surprise wedding and Jacqueline & Trebor's engagement session here.

Thanks to the Retreat Team and all of the following crazily talented suppliers who made the day perfect from start to finish... and also to Jacqui and Trebor for being brave enough to share their love with a group of emotional strangers :)

Adventures in Rome : Italian Wedding Inspiration

This is my second instalment from my recent trip to Rome with Retreat Gatherings and a fab bunch of ladies! If you haven't seen my post about Trebor and Jacqueline and their jaw-dropping engagement session in Villa Borghese Gardens, then do have a peek here :)

Today I'm excited to show you a styled shoot we did in Frascati, the quaint little town where we stayed, with the lovely Katie of Signora e Mare as our model.

The evening sun setting over Rome in the distance was breath taking, so we made the most of the gorgeous Italian light and after a stroll through the park headed up to the roof terrace to enjoy the views...
