From Campidoglio to the Colosseum: A Roman Wedding

Brandi & John’s Chic Civil Wedding in Rome

Some love stories are written in the stars. For Brandi and John, who traveled all the way from the USA, theirs was written amidst the ancient stones and timeless art of Rome.

Some love stories unfold under the Roman sky. For Brandi and John, who journeyed from the USA, theirs was celebrated with the quintessential Red Room civil wedding in Rome, held in the historic heart of the city.

They chose to write their chapter with a breathtaking civil ceremony in the legendary Red Room of the Campidoglio. True to its name, the room envelops you in warm, rich tapestries that cover the walls and even the plush carpet underfoot. Ultimately, getting married here feels magical—you literally say “I do” inside a masterpiece.

Stepping outside, Michelangelo’s genius immediately embraces you in the Piazza del Campidoglio, where the majestic statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius keeps watch. Without a doubt, it’s a uniquely Roman spectacle.

However, beyond the unparalleled art and history, the love and joy of their closest family and dear friends truly made this day luminous. Their laughter and happy tears filled the room as they celebrated the moment this wonderful couple finally said “Yes!”

Following the heartfelt ceremony, our Roman adventure began. First, we wandered through the epic Roman Forum, letting history frame their first portraits as newlyweds. Next, the iconic Colosseum stood witness to their joy.

Afterward, we slipped into the secret heart of the city—lesser-known, picturesque streets—where a fun surprise awaited: a vintage orange Moto Guzzi motorcycle! In delightful contrast, their elegant wedding attire against the classic Italian bike created unforgettable and utterly stylish portraits.

As the sun began to set, the celebration ascended to a stunning terrace at the Hotel Forum, overlooking the eternal rooftops of Rome. What a night! The food delighted both the eyes and the palate, and the drinks flowed as freely as the laughter. In the end, it was the perfect, joyful conclusion to a perfect day.

Brandi & John, thank you for letting us capture your Roman beginning. Truly, your trust and adventurous spirits made this an absolute dream to photograph.
