Welcome back to the last day of Ally and Katie's destination wedding in Lucca, Italy. After recovering from the wedding festivities for a few days, they got back into their wedding garb and we hit the streets of Lucca for their Day After session. It was so fun having these two take us on a tour of the back streets of this adorable little town!
This is why I love Italy. People use wine crates as bike baskets to hold their jug of whiskey. Need I say more?
And then they use Scotch cans as their water bottle holder. I wonder if one of these could fit on our scooters? When the owner of the cafe saw us taking an interest in his bike, he gave Katie and Ally some Scotch which they downed like the Scottish champs they are! I love it!
This is my favorite series ever! How cute is this little corner? This is the kind of corner that Anthropologie spends hours trying to recreate, and yet this is the real thing people. To the phantom resident that decided to wash dishes and dry their matching dishtowel with cute matching clothespins in our perfect little corner, we thank you.
Gorgeous.
I love this one!
Oh! I love these ones too...
And especially these two...
And this is pretty fantastic I must say...
Katie loves arches, so we kept searching for the perfect arch around town. I finally spotted this one inside a garden, but a small corporate reception was taking place off in the distance, so a big thank you goes out to Katie and Ally for sneaking in with me, deciphering my silent miming hand gestures, looking awesome, and running out in a matter of seconds!
After our stealth shooting, we headed up to the wall that circles the town.
As the sun sank down with that gorgeous Tuscan sunset, we asked these guys to basically be awesome. So they did.
Some details of Ally's kilt. Ready for an American attempt in kilt vocabulary? First, these are his kilt hose and garter flashes...
Then his sporran with his wedding band to accesorize...
His Ghillie brogues...
And his white Scottish legs... I mean, red Scottish knees... hee hee...
We decided to wrap it up when the kilt started coming up! There was plenty of that at the wedding, so we had learned our lesson already! Ha! I love these guys.
Ally and Katie: You know when you've felt like you've met kindred spirits from across the world? Well, don't be surprised if you catch our giddy American faces on your London doorstep sometime soon! Lucca was a BLAST, and your families and guests made us super optimistic and energetic Californians feel right at home! We'll never forget all of the amazing people we met and the crazy fun times we had with you guys! Love you!
Hugs,
Erin
