Wedding Couple, Rome, 2009

Added 1534794244 by Dave Rudin.

I arrived in Rome on a Saturday in June to begin my 2009 trip to Italy, and after settling into my hotel on the Via Cavour, I decided to make my way to The Pantheon - that great edifice of ancient Rome with a great hole in the middle of the dome. As I walked up one street, I saw a bride and groom walking away from me down a street to my left. When I arrived at the Piazza della Rotonda in front of The Pantheon, I saw that the very same bride and groom had arrived there, too - to have their photos taken! (I discovered that Saturdays in June are big days for weddings and wedding photos in Italy.) As the couple were having their photos taken by their photographer, I decided to take some, too. This is one of my favorites.
