We met Camille and Wilson back in May at Jessica and Michael's wedding. It was a great surprise to receive an email from Wilson stating that they had just gotten engaged, were in Rome, and and he wanted to surprise Camille with a photo session there. A few days later I was crossing the Atlantic for what would be the shortest transatlantic trip I've ever taken (due to some previously scheduled shoots in Austin I could only spend 26 hours in Rome). We had perfect weather, and spent the whole day shooting literally all over the city. In selecting our locations I tried to avoid a lot of the tourist cliches, and sought to depict the Rome I've known and experienced: an active, vibrant, and a ridiculously romantic city.
But Rome is Rome - what made this trip unique for me was Camille and Wilson's warmth. I felt like they were old friends and it didn't seem the least bit strange to be spending a whole day with them in Rome, 5000 miles away from where we live. I think they also have very cool chemistry, about which the photos can speak better than my words.
great album!!

love these, dear. Jet lag clearly didn't interfere with your ability to shoot brilliantly :)
