Welcome to Lucca
photo shoot
shoot in Lucca
from America to Italy
Jennifer and Bill are a couple from Chicago (USA) and they contacted me with a desire to have their portraits taken. They wanted to have a memory during their summer vacation in the historic city of Lucca, Tuscany.
We agreed on the date for a morning of June And I asked them if they had a chance to be portrayed at sunrise. I recommended early morning as being a historic city, there is a lot of rush of tourists especially in the summer time and photographing them while the city was sleeping was really a beautiful experience.
Here is what came out of it.
Portraits in the amphitheater of Lucca
Oval square on Roman amphitheater, surrounded by medieval houses that now house cafeterias
And souvenir stores.

Lucca
The beautiful cathedral of St. Martin. Cathedral of Lucca, 11th-century place of worship.
Inside are The Holy Face, Tintoretto’s Last Supper, and Ilaria del Carretto,a masterpiece of 15th-century sculpture by Jacopo della Quercia.
Carved into the stone is the enigmatic labyrinth reminiscent of the myth ofTeseo and Arianna.
Breakfast with Cappuccino and Brioche
After taking the last few shots, hunger began to set in,
so we treated ourselves to a very good Italian breakfast in St. Michael's Square.
The church of San Michele in Foro is from the 1100s with its sculpted facade with several orders of loggias.
It is also famous for Filippino Lippi’s altarpiece.
