Marloes and Sean at Castello di Santa Tecla, Perugia, Umbria
Umbria · 9 September 2023

Roses, a fountain,
and a dog
in the hall

Castello di Santa Tecla · Perugia, Umbria

September, and a castle that behaves like a house: roses against the stone, a fountain in the courtyard, a labrador asleep on the flags, and a wedding that ended with half the guests in the pool.

The house, and the pool
Roses on the wall
The loggia, filling up
Under the citrus
A fresco, indoors
The ceremony, under the tree
The vows
The ring
Everybody, and the valley
Just after

A castle that
behaves like
a house

Italy

Italy
At the gate, in black and white
Under the lemon tree
The fountain
The dog in the hall
The flowers

The last hour,
and what it
is worth

Every wedding has one hour that decides how the pictures feel, and in September it is the one before the sun goes — the light comes along the ground, the stone throws it back, and everybody has stopped performing.

That is where this whole page lives. The ceremony was at the top of the afternoon and the dinner was indoors, but the frames that hold the day are from the sixty minutes between them.

The two of them
A kiss on the head
Laughing
Walking, at seven
The dress in the garden
Nine in the evening, September

A day thatended inthe water

How I work
Her, at the end of the light
Dinner, in the stone hall
The table
The olives, the next morning
And the pool, at midnight
