A morning in Florence with Gina and Kyle, captured

A morning in Florence with Gina and Kyle, captured on film.

They came for their honeymoon, carrying that quiet excitement of being somewhere new together. When Gina first wrote to me about a couple photoshoot in Florence, Italy, her enthusiasm was already there. You may already know the rest of the story from my previous post, where I shared only the digital images.

Everything you see here was photographed on film. The imperfections, the softness, the colours, they all belong to that process. This is what draws me to analogue photography and why I choose to work as a film photographer in Florence and across Italy.

It was a good day, not only for the photos, but for everything in between. As a wedding and film photographer in Florence, these are the kind of days I keep coming back to. Quiet, simple, and real.

I had such a good time photographing these two, or

I had such a good time photographing these two, or maybe I should say three, since they arrived with their baby on the way, just a few months from meeting the world.

They didn’t give me much of a brief. It was simply “we’re getting married, come photograph us.” All they wanted was to feel natural and sincere in the photos.

They kept me laughing both during their wedding in Tivoli and throughout our shoot in Rome. On the wedding day, the groom was carrying the quiet stress of organizing everything, while the bride was on a mission to find a non-alcoholic beer whenever she got thirsty.

Instead of having a wedding back in Turkey, they chose to bring their closest friends with them and get married here in Italy. It felt simple, honest, and very much their own.

As a wedding photographer in Tivoli and Rome, I documented their day on both digital and 35mm film, following things as they naturally unfolded.

A morning in Florence with Gina and Kyle.

They came for their honeymoon, carrying that quiet excitement of being somewhere new together. When Gina first wrote to me about doing a couple photoshoot in Florence, Italy, her enthusiasm was already there.

We met over coffee at Ditta Artigianale and started walking, slowly, letting the city guide us. Good light, empty corners, reflections, small pauses.

At some point, strawberries appeared. Gina was happy. Kyle joined in, maybe more for her than for the fruit. It worked. While we were passing in front of a small pizzeria for a few shots, the Italian version of CCTV made its appearance, an elderly nonna watching us carefully from her window upstairs. Somewhere near Ponte Vecchio, I gave him my Contax G2. He photographed her, I photographed them. The moment shifted, became something shared rather than observed.

As we moved through the streets, people kept saying “Auguri!”. At first they were shy, then they leaned into it. Florence has a way of pulling you into the scene whether you expect it or not.

We ended the morning at Piazzale Michelangelo, sitting on the stairs, with a beer, a spritz, and conversations about life, politics, art, food. I photographed the day using both digital and analogue cameras. What you see here is from the digital set, except for the opening photo. I’ll share the film photographs in a separate post. It was a good day, not only for the photos, but for everything in between. As a wedding photographer based in Italy, these are the kind of days I find myself returning to. Quiet, simple, and real.

A few more frames lingering from the winter months

A few more frames lingering from the winter months. I met new people, wandered through Rome with a friend visiting from Germany, found myself at the opening of a new wine bar, photographed young lovers, and became one of the curious eyes drifting through a flea market. Somewhere in between, I got my heart broken again and, as always, found myself back on the streets with my camera.

Analogue photographs have a way of arriving late, as if they are gently catching up with us. I’ve always been drawn to that rhythm. Waiting for them carries the quiet excitement of a child standing before a Christmas tree, sensing that something meaningful is already there, just not yet revealed.

A quiet note from a film photographer in Rome, still learning how to wait.

rome in winter, some days with snow in the mountai

rome in winter, some days with snow in the mountains, some days by the lake in villa borghese with couples in love, and some days simply life with friends.

these past months have been a mix of memories and work. walks, travels, conversations, and a few quiet moments behind my film camera. some of these photos are mine, some were taken by friends, but all of them belong to the same rhythm of life i’ve been living lately.

rome continues to surprise me. light changes every hour, every street corner feels different on film. and every couple brings their own story into the frame.
if you’re looking for a film photographer in rome, this is how i usually see the city.

Some couples arrive in Rome with a plan. Some othe

Some couples arrive in Rome with a plan. Some others arrive just to laugh at everything 🙃 They told me they were shy and “not good at photos.” Shot entirely on 35mm film, slowly and intentionally, they were a bit nervous about the camera. They could not focus. They could not pose. They just laughed. And that is when the real moments happened.

This is what I love about doing a couple photoshoot in Rome on film. When it stops being a photoshoot and turns into a real memory of your trip to Italy. If you are visiting and looking for a candid film photographer in Rome for your couple photoshoot, just be yourselves and enjoy the city. I will take care of the rest.

Bu ay Vogue Türkiye için Ernest Hemingway’in izini

Bu ay Vogue Türkiye için Ernest Hemingway’in izini sürerek İspanya’nın kuzeyinde yaptığım yolculuğu kaleme aldım.

San Sebastián’ın sakin kıyıları, Pamplona’nın taş sokakları ve iki şehir arasında gidip gelen bir ruh hali… Bir şehrin ritminin anlatının tonunu nasıl değiştirdiğini, denizden dağlara uzanan o coğrafyanın insanın iç dünyasına nasıl dokunduğunu ve -elbette- bölgenin gastronomisini anlattım.

“Güneş de Doğar”ın satır aralarında dolaşan dört sayfalık bir yolculuk bu...

***

I wrote about my journey through northern Spain, following in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway, in the March 2026 issue of @vogueturkiye

The quiet shores of San Sebastián, the stone streets of Pamplona, and a state of mind moving back and forth between the two… I explored how the rhythm of a city can shape the tone of a narrative, how a landscape stretching from the sea to the mountains can touch one’s inner world, and of course, the gastronomy of the region.

A four-page journey wandering between the lines of The Sun Also Rises…

Rome is not a city to rush. It is a city to observ

Rome is not a city to rush. It is a city to observe.

I’ve started hosting small group analog photography workshops in Rome for those who want to slow down and experience 35mm film in a more intentional way. We walk through real streets, work with natural light, and shoot with Canon AE-1 cameras. Film, camera, development, and high resolution scans are all included. Just comfortable shoes and curiosity will be enough.

If you’ve been looking for a film photography workshop in Rome, this is a hands on experience designed for curious travelers, beginners, and digital photographers who want to reconnect with the basics. Groups are limited to a maximum of three people to keep the experience personal. One to one sessions are also available.

And if you are searching for an analog photographer in Rome or a film photographer in Rome, this workshop reflects exactly how I see and work. Slow. Observant. Intentional.

Rome rewards those who pay attention.

For inquiries, you can reach me at ciao@gokhankutluer.com
