The experience

I’ll be honest, I almost missed the start: my phone alarm didn’t go off, so I rushed out half-awake and nearly tripped on those uneven cobblestones. But standing in front of the Trevi Fountain before the city woke up, it was like Rome belonged just to us. The air was cool and smelled faintly of coffee from a barista setting up nearby. Our photographer, Giulia, waved me over with that easy Roman confidence and somehow made my wrinkled shirt look intentional in the first few shots.

We wandered away from the fountain into these little backstreets I’d never have found alone. Giulia kept chatting about her favorite trattorias (she swears by one near Piazza Navona) and gave gentle directions (“just turn your chin a bit,” or “pretend you’re looking for gelato.” She laughed when I tried to say ‘cobblestone’ in Italian) probably butchered it. There was this moment by an old wooden door where everything went quiet except for a Vespa sputtering past. She snapped a photo right then and I still think about that one.

I didn’t expect how relaxed it would feel, honestly. No crowds pushing or selfie sticks waving around, just soft morning light and the sound of someone sweeping steps nearby. We finished near the Spanish Steps because I asked last minute if we could squeeze them in: Giulia just shrugged and said “why not?” The whole thing felt more like wandering with a friend than posing for pictures. Got my edited photos back super fast too (within two days), which was kind of wild considering how many there were. Still can’t believe how empty Rome looked in those shots.
