AN ETERNAL PROMISE IN THE HEART OF ROME

THE LOVE STORY OF KELSI AND REDIAUX

Some love stories are destined to become legends. Kelsi and ReDiaux’s story is one of them. After 25 years of marriage, 30 years together, and a lifetime of commitment and family, they chose the Eternal City, Rome, to renew their vows. As their Roma Elopement Photographer, we had the honor of capturing every moment of this unforgettable chapter, beautifully arranged by the Attimo Infinito team.

Our journey began in the heart of Ancient Rome. Surrounded by timeless history and beauty, Kelsi and ReDiaux exchanged their vows again at the stunning Temple of Antoninus and Faustina. The celebrant’s words told the story of a love that began when they first saw each other in a church as teenagers, a love that has grown through life’s challenges and joys. It wasn’t just a renewal; it was a celebration of a beautiful journey and a love that proves that with dedication and a deep connection, any promise can blossom over time.

The warm day and all the emotions called for a break. We stopped at a historic Roman café for a truly Italian treat: a delicious gelato. It was a small, sweet moment for Kelsi and ReDiaux to literally taste La Dolce Vita.

With their energy restored, we went to one of the most breathtaking viewpoints: the overlook of the Roman Forum. In front of centuries of history, Kelsi and ReDiaux shared a spontaneous, romantic dance. Their steps and loving glances created a wonderful atmosphere against the eternal grandeur of the ruins, a truly beautiful, poetic moment.
