One of the most rewarding parts of being a proposal photographer in Rome is capturing unforgettable moments like Jasson’s surprise proposal to Rebeca. Let me share their beautiful story.
The Perfect Setting: Near the Colosseum
Jasson wanted a romantic, intimate proposal in one of Rome’s most iconic locations. After discussing options, we chose a stunning park near the Colosseum during the golden hour — that perfect time just before sunset when the light is soft and magical.
Adding a Special Touch: The Violinist
To make the moment even more special, Jasson hired a violinist to play their chosen song as they arrived. The music set the perfect tone, and when Rebeca arrived, she had no idea what was about to happen.
The Big Moment
As Jasson got down on one knee, Rebeca’s face lit up with surprise and joy. I captured every precious moment, from her reaction to their first embrace as an engaged couple.
Behind the Scenes: A Special Video
In addition to the photos, I filmed a behind-the-scenes video, which Rebeca loved as it gave her a beautiful moving memory of the day.

Enrique reached out to me to photograph his proposal to Paola. He wanted an intimate, romantic spot, so we chose the enchanting Villa Borghese. During a sunset stroll, he proposed at the historic Tempio di Diana. This beautiful temple, inspired by ancient Roman architecture, has symbolized romance and mythology for centuries. It was the perfect backdrop for such a magical moment. Congrats to the happy couple! 💍❤️

Love stories often begin with a moment that takes your breath away—a moment carefully planned and executed to perfection. Such was the case with Marcel and Akanksha’s unforgettable proposal in the heart of Rome.
Marcel reached out to me with a vision: to orchestrate a surprise proposal for his beloved during their weekend getaway in Rome. After discussing various location options, Marcel settled on the serene intimacy of the Capitoline Hill terrace, overlooking the majestic Roman Forum.
In the early morning hours, I arrived at the chosen spot, armed with a heart-shaped balloon to add a touch of romance to the scene. Marcel, meanwhile, had informed Akanksha that they would be embarking on a guided tour, with the rendezvous point set at the Capitoline Hill.
As the couple reached the terrace, marveling at the breathtaking vista of the ancient ruins below, Marcel seized the moment. Casually suggesting they take some photos to capture the beauty of the morning light, he waited for the perfect moment to drop to one knee and profess his love.
The sight of the red heart-shaped balloon swaying gently in the breeze served as a poignant backdrop to Marcel’s heartfelt proposal. Akanksha, caught completely off guard, could scarcely believe what was unfolding before her eyes. With tears of joy glistening in her eyes, she uttered a resounding “yes,” sealing their love amidst the timeless splendor of Rome.
Moments like these remind us of the magic that exists in the world—the magic of love, of serendipity, and of the shared moments that shape our lives forever. It was an honor to play a part in Marcel and Akanksha’s love story, crafting a moment that they will cherish for a lifetime.
As Marcel slipped the ring onto Akanksha’s finger, surrounded by the echoes of ancient history and the promise of a future together, it was a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend time and place.
Here’s to love, laughter, and happily ever afters—may Marcel and Akanksha’s journey be filled with endless joy and countless more beautiful moments together!
