Several crew members had stepped aside, and the photographer was checking something on a monitor.
A stylist made a final adjustment to the backdrop before someone called for the next look.
And then Vittoria appeared.
Leo's attention settled on her almost immediately.
She was wearing a wedding dress with thin, delicate straps resting over her shoulders.
The design fitted closely through the bodice before falling into a softer, flowing silhouette.
It was elegant to say the least, and the details, whenever she moved, caught the light in the room.
Her hair had been arranged to complement the dress, while the makeup gave her face a softer finish than he was accustomed to seeing.
For a moment, Leo simply stared.
He had seen Vittoria dressed for dinners, events and occasions where she had to look her best.
He had also seen her in the comfort of their quieter moments, when neither of them had much reason to think about appearances.
