A Dream Proposal at the Colosseum

A Dream Proposal at the Colosseum

There are few places as timeless and breathtaking as the Colosseum in Rome, and few moments as unforgettable as a surprise proposal! Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing one of the most romantic proposals in this iconic location, capturing the story of Shane and Zoey as they embarked on a new chapter of their lives together.

Shane wanted everything to be perfect for Zoey, so he planned an intimate moment in a secluded park overlooking the Colosseum. The setting was beautifully arranged with delicate decorations, and to make it even more special, a violinist played Zoey’s favorite song in the background, creating an enchanting atmosphere that took her breath away.

When Zoey arrived, she was completely surprised, her eyes lighting up as she took in the setting, surrounded by flowers, the soft glow of candles, and the historic beauty of the Colosseum. With the gentle music filling the air, Shane got down on one knee, and her answer was a resounding “yes!”

Capturing moments like these, full of love, surprise, and joy, is what makes being a proposal photographer so fulfilling. Every detail—the emotions, the setting, the little surprises—all tell a unique story, and it’s a privilege to help couples preserve these memories.

Whether you’re planning a proposal in Rome, or dreaming of a surprise engagement in another stunning destination, I’d love to help make your moment unforgettable. Let’s create a story together that you’ll cherish forever!

Romantic Proposal Spot in Rome: Capitoline Hill Terrace at Sunset

Rome is filled with stunning, romantic locations perfect for popping the question, but one of my absolute favorites—especially as a photographer—is the hidden gem of Capitoline Hill’s terrace. This spot offers breathtaking views and, best of all, a peaceful atmosphere away from the usual tourist crowds. At sunset, the golden light bathes the city in a warm glow, creating the perfect backdrop for a truly unforgettable proposal. Imagine sharing that moment, just the two of you, with ancient Rome unfolding beneath you. It’s pure magic—and incredibly romantic!

Congratulations, Peter & Mikaela!

Ryan wanted his proposal to Kasey to be truly special, so we found the perfect intimate spot by the lake, just as the last rays of the sun dipped below the horizon. He cleverly planned a “casual” walk before their dinner reservation at a nearby restaurant. As Kasey admired the stunning lake view, Ryan got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. It was pure romance!
