A Couple Photoshoot at the Duomo and the Loggia dei Mercanti

Dancing on an empty Piazza del Duomo, then the stone arches of the Loggia dei Mercanti a few steps away: a couple photoshoot in the oldest corner of Milan.

The photoshoot, frame by frame

A man in a cream suit and a woman in a pink floral maxi dress walk hand in hand across the empty square before the Duomo.

A walk across the square

Holding hands at arm's length, the couple dances on the Duomo square as her pink floral dress swirls around her ankles.

Dancing on the square

He pulls her in, she spins out, and the floral dress fans out across the stones in front of the cathedral.

He lifts her hand high to spin her, her back to the camera, as the gothic facade of the Duomo di Milano fills the frame.

One more spin

Black-and-white portrait of the couple forehead to forehead and smiling, his arm around her waist, with the Duomo behind.

In black and white

Full-length view of the couple standing close as he kisses her forehead, small figures against the Duomo's white front.

Small against the spires

He lifts her off the ground for a kiss, one heeled sandal kicked up, on the wide stone square in front of the Duomo.

Lifted into a kiss

He scoops her up mid-kiss, her hair falling over his face and one sandal kicked up toward the sky.

Leaning on a dark railing, she kisses him under the carved side walls and spires of the Duomo di Milano.

By the railing

He dips her back into a kiss, her hand on his cream lapel, the Duomo's rose window softly blurred above them.

The dip

He dips her back and she holds on to his lapel, the whole cathedral fading out behind them.

The couple kisses on the edge of the Duomo square, the cathedral spires to the right and pale palazzos lining the left side.

Edge of the square

Close-up of their joined hands showing her engagement ring, both smiling, the Duomo facade blurred into the background.

Hands and the ring

Her pink dress flares as he spins her across the sunlit paving, long shadows stretching toward the Duomo and its tall spires.

Long shadows

On the wet stone paving of Piazza dei Mercanti, the couple kisses in a close embrace before a colonnaded Renaissance arcade.

Piazza dei Mercanti

Under the stone vaults of the Piazza dei Mercanti arcade, she leads him by the hand along the low steps, dress trailing.

Under the vaults

Hand in hand, they stroll through the vaulted arcade as patches of sunlight fall across the worn stone floor around them.

Through the arcade

They wander through the old arcade hand in hand, sunlight landing in bright squares at their feet.
