Couple In Water by Ilaria Vecchi

“I recently came back to my home country (Italy) after studying photography in Canada. I was really looking forward to exploring more of my own country and discovering hidden gems. And then Covid happened. The lockdown was tough, the months that followed were not a walk in the park either. I’m not the kind of photographer who’s happy to only work in a studio. My creativity comes from working with people while exploring new places, so not being able to do what I’m most passionate about was really bringing me down.

Hot Springs in Tuscany

Once the restrictions started being lifted I got a little more hopeful. One day I randomly discovered these gorgeous hot springs in Tuscany while browsing through some Instagram travel accounts and thought it was crazy nobody had done a couple shoot there before (or at least I couldn’t find any photos anywhere). Even just by looking at the photos, I was starting to get ideas about how to use those gorgeous natural layers, which usually never happens (I tend to create in the moment).

Finding a couple

And then I randomly saw this post on a Facebook group of a girl who was planning a road trip to Italy in August with her boyfriend. She was looking for a couple who would trade shoots but I wrote to her saying I had a cool place I wanted to shoot at, pitched her the idea and she was thrilled. It all felt very serendipitous. We managed to find a day that worked for all of us and I drove 12 hours in a 24h span to shoot with them in this dream location in Tuscany.

The Day of the Photoshoot

We met in the afternoon, ate pizza together as we chatted and got to know each other better, then headed to Val d’Orcia for a sunset shoot before driving down to Saturnia. We were at these beautiful hot springs at 6 am and by 6.20 am the place was packed, but we were having so much fun we barely paid any attention to the people around us. The connection between these two amazing humans is so strong and beautiful I don’t think any photo would ever do it justice, but I definitely had a great time trying!”

Couple In Water Photoshoot By Ilaria Vecchi

“Hey Paul! Tell us a little bit about this couple and your session.”

It all started with a giveaway, I was getting desperate because we had a warm winter in Romania and I thought I could not get a couple for a winter session. I hosted a little contest between my friends on facebook and chose them because you could really see their love for each other.

Lia and Vlad, live in the small city of Sibiu, Romania. They were really happy for getting the chance to make this shoot because it was their first photo-session together ever. They love to go on adventures and explore new and uncharted places. I also found out that they love winter, so the cold weather was perfect for them.

The session was taken in Fagaras mountains. We walked up to the Balea waterfall, and even some of the photos are shot on the legendary Transfagarasan road. This road is one of the most amazing ones in Romania (maybe even in Europe), but in winter the most spectacular part of the road is unfortunately closed.

“What gear did you use?”

The photos were shot on a Nikon D750 and a 35 1.4 Sigma Art lens. Edited with LKO presets.

“Hey Brittany! Tell us a little bit about this couple and your session.”

“One early afternoon on a Thursday, I was sitting on the beach alone and I saw this couple running around being young and free, puffing and passing a joint, taking selfies — ya know, basically doing vacation the right way.

I told myself I’m just going to walk up to them and hand them my business card and tell them if they ever wanted to shoot some stuff to contact me (I’m super awkward).

I wasn’t sure if they were local or on vacation, because the beach we were at is usually crowded by locals, but surprisingly, later that day they actually shot me a text to book me!

They were from North Carolina and they really wanted some photos while they were here in Florida. I told her my price and then we shot these amazing photos the very next day at sunrise.

To be honest, I had no expectations for them or for myself. They were very young but still very mature.

I was however, excited to see if i had it in me to capture that young care free love that they exuded on the day I first met them. Was I able to get those moments?? Can I do this..??  I just kept saying that to myself.

I knew if i stayed focused and aware of the emotions I was trying to capture all would fall into place.

So from the moment I picked my camera up. It was instant. There they were, laughing and running around— grabbing one another.

Man, They totally shocked me, I was dying to photograph what they were doing and here was my moment!
I think I shocked myself more than anything. Honestly, it was a beautiful kick ass morning.”
