Parco Sempione Wedding Photos Featuring Arco della Pace

Today’s post is something of a gran finale: our final session in Italy with Stuart and Lily in Parco Sempione! These two were a treat to photograph… and happen to be wedding photographers themselves (it’s true!). If you’re located in the United Kingdom and in need of a photographer, definitely check out their work!

Arco della Pace

Our session began in front of Arco della Pace, the historic monument at the park’s northwest entrance. My favorite thing about Stuart and Lily is that they were up for anything! One minute they’d turn up the romance like they were the only two people in the park, and the next they were laughing and running barefoot across the piazza. This is exactly the type of energy a wedding photographer thrives on during portrait time!

Fun fact: the “peace arch” was originally intended to commemorate Napoleon’s victory over Italy. However, construction was completed after the fall of the French empire and the arch was dedicated to peace in Vienna.

Someone told me that Parco Sempione is basically Milan’s Central Park. This makes complete sense: it’s about 47 hectares in size (≈ 116 acres), contains a world-class aquarium, centuries-old castle, historic amphitheatre, and so much more! Food and beverage vendors are easy to find, and there’s often some kind of free performance happening on the lawn. I spent a great deal of time in this park during my trip, and it did not disappoint!

After some time with the arco, Stuart and Lily were up for a stroll in the park. We found a lovely spot with white florals and greenery – a perfect contrast with Lily’s spring bouquet! I could have photographed these two for hours in this park… but eventually the sun began to set and it was time to say goodbye.

Ti Amo, Milano

Milan, you have my heart! I truly felt at home in Northern Italy by the end of my trip, and am so grateful to have been a part of this retreat. Without Bella Vita, I don’t know if I’d ever have a reason to visit this city! Now, I’m eager to get back and explore even more… maybe sooner than expected 🙂
