Amalfi Paper Mill + Engagement Photos in Italy!

For some crazy reason Kenny Kim, Matt Savage and I woke up early to attempt to catch the sunrise. Unfortunately, it was a bit cloudy out and we didn’t get what we were hoping for…but the morning wasn’t a complete loss…I was able to grab a couple nice photos

Amalfi is famous for their cotton fiber paper. We went to visit an old paper mill that allowed us to see how paper was made back in the 14th century. Amalfi has a river running under it and they used it to power their water mills. The water mills then ran all the machines required to make paper!



In the afternoon we had some fun taking photos of each other and had two couples to shoot as an engagement session. The rain made shooting a bit challenging- but nonetheless, a great time was had by all!
