Destination Wedding Portrait Session at Sunrise – Duomo di Milano
Today I’m wrapping up this week’s Italy feature with Felicia and Dillon’s newlywed sunrise session at Milan Cathedral. Locally known as Duomo di Milano, this iconic location contains over six centuries of history! Tourists are welcome to visit the cathedral during open hours, and guided tours are also available. If you think the photos are majestic, imagine viewing this beauty in person! I digress…
Milan Cathedral Wedding Photos
We woke up before sunrise the morning after our Lake Como adventure, and hopped on a metro toward Piazza del Duomo. Luckily, there weren’t many other pedestrians outside the cathedral when we arrived (it gets SUPER crowded later in the day!). Seriously, if you’re looking to take your own Milan Cathedral wedding photos, I highly recommend starting before sunrise. Felicia and Dillon stunned in the early morning light – and that veil! I mean, come ON!! To say we were all obsessed would be an understatement.
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
As the morning rush began, we made our way to the nearby shopping center Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II for more photos with the Italian architecture. Somehow we were lucky enough to capture a few photos of these two without crowds of Italian businesspeople in the background of every shot! Finally, it was time to say goodbye to our models – but not without popping some Prosecco and playing with the birds 🙂
Not pictured: the Turin Bull, a mosaic design located on the floor of the shopping mall outside Prada. Legend has it, if you place your right heel on the bull’s testicles (these days, just a hole in the ground) and spin around three times, you’ll have good luck!
This shoot was such a blast, but the day didn’t end here. Keep an eye out for our afternoon and evening sessions on the Blog next week!!
