proposal

Shantelle & Eldon, from Singapore

Was my second time photographing at Seceda Pass, this incredible place to watch and feel the mountains of Val Gardena. I knew it wasn't the easiest of destinations, not so much because of the difficulty of the hike and the cold, but because of the length of time and costs involved. But the reward of the unique landscape and views that the place offers is certainly worth the effort, which makes it very popular.

When Heldon contacted me and immediately confirmed his interest in proposing, we agreed on a date and time. What struck me was that he sent me photos and a map of the place, even though I already knew exactly where he wanted to propose. I thought that was great, because it was certainly a spot with a spectacular view and no people passing by.

Obviously I was delighted to be able to record this moment for them and at the same time enjoy the view and the atmosphere.

Surprise photographer for proposal in Italy

We are getting requests for surprise proposal photos again. This kind of photo is always a challenge because it is, in fact, a surprise and we need to be close without giving the impression that we are photographers. To be present in front of these kind reactions is a great gift for our work.

I can't remember exactly when was the first time I photographed a surprise marriage proposal. But I remember that as soon as I received the request, I loved the idea and days before the photos I was already anxious. I was a Secret Photographer for Proposal.

It was an idea that came naturally, to suggest being close to the scene as a tourist (and not as a photographer). Thus, the couple would position themselves in the place that I had previously indicated and the groom would ask me to take a picture of them with his phone.

I would readily accept and ask them to take a photo looking at each other. That was the "key" for the groom to get down on one knee and propose.

Over the years there have been more challenging situations than others, but the result is always surprising, and fortunately until today all requests have been accepted! :0)

If you are thinking of making a surprise proposal in any city in Italy or Europe in general we are at your disposal to discuss the details and choose the best scenarios with you and keep the occasion a surprise until the moment of unveiling.
