La Dolce Vita Engagement Session...

Yesterday we shared an engagement session based on a recent animated film, Up. Today we go back in time to the 1960s with the Italian film, La Dolce Vita! Courtney and Miguel will be honeymooning in Italy, but since Miguel is currently stationed with the Army in Afghanistan, plans might have to be put on hold. So to bring Italy a bit closer to home, their photographer Natasha Montero, and wedding planner Solo Tu Events, planned this incredible engagement session while Miguel was home on leave. It is a beautiful homage to La Dolce Vita's most iconic scenes.

More from their photographer, Natasha:

We tried to capture the essence of Italy, and the vintage feel of the 60's, even though we happened to be shooting in classical New England. We had Italian pastries, espressos, Italian newspapers, and we even borrowed an old Alpha Romeo convertible! Nothing screams, “love” more to us than cannolis, black ray-bans, skinny ties and Italian sports cars.
