Getting married in the United States is cool and all, but what about traveling outside of the U.S. and getting married just outside of Florence, Italy? I would say that is the bees knees!

Too old man? Yeah, probably – but Zoey and I can’t help but pump our fists and do a little jig at the excitement of traveling with Regan and CJ later this year for their Italian wedding.

In the meantime, we celebrated with the two of them with an engagement session over pizza and exploring the Dallas Arboretum.

Italian Inspired Engagement Session at Poco Fiasco

When we first spoke with Regan about their engagement session, she was a little unsure about how to go about this.

Our usual advice? Let’s just go for a drink or lunch during the session. The focus here is so that it is less of a “session” and more of a double date with Zoey and me.

That seemed to strike a chord with Regan because she had the most excellent idea! “Let’s do a pizza date at Poco Fiasco to tie in the Italian theme!”

Um, please! You will find it hard pressed for Zoey and I to say no to pizza.

We arrived and did all of the right things.

Checked in – ordered pizza – and watched sparks fly!

If you think pizza can’t be romantic, let me point you to exhibit A how wrong you are…because Regan and CJ are the epitome of romance!

After this section of the session, we were off to more Italian inspired architecture found at the Dallas Arboretum.

About the Dallas Arboretum

Listed as one of the top arboretums in the world, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden is located in Dallas, Texas (as the name suggests).

It is located by the shores of White Rock Lake and sits on 66 acres of beautiful land – perfect for couples looking to have a wedding or engagement photos.

When I think of words to describe Italy, I immediately think of words like: vistas, vineyards, gardens, and Super Mario brothers…

Scratch the Mario bros, but the rest remain.

These are the exact things you’ll find at the Arboretum, which only made this session with Regan and CJ that much more exciting.

After this session (if it wasn’t us who took these), if you would have told me these were taken in Italy, I’d believe you.
