The engagement photoshoot of Ilenia and Saverio took place in Contrada Pescarosa, a hamlet of Ostuni, in Puglia.
So, what exactly is a session like this? It is a pre-wedding photography service conducted before the big day, giving engaged couples the chance to celebrate their love in a relaxed and stress-free setting—far from the pressures of the wedding itself.
In this regard, I recommend taking a look at the article I wrote about engagement photo sessions in Puglia, where I explain the essence of this intimate, romantic type of photography.
Couple photo session in Ostuni
For their couple photo session in Ostuni, Ilenia and Saverio chose to rent a red Fiat 500—a truly inspired touch. The vibrant color of this vintage car created a striking contrast with the iconic white trulli and the soft, overcast sky of the day.
It’s often the little details that make all the difference in photography. Simply having sunglasses on hand allowed me to capture a series of shots with a subtle, editorial vibe. My main approach, however, was reportage-style: I aimed to remain as unobtrusive as possible, letting the couple simply enjoy themselves. This approach resulted in intimate, authentic, and effortlessly natural images.
