Jean  reached out to me to plan a surprise proposal for his girlfriend during their trip to Rome. It was their first time in the city, and he wanted this moment to feel personal, not staged, just something real, with a beautiful view.

We decided to go for sunset at the Colosseum, I guided him through the timing, the exact spot and how to position everything naturally, so it would not feel like a photoshoot, just a real moment happening.

When they reached the spot, they paused for a moment to enjoy the view and then he went down on one knee.

It was very emotional and honestly so beautiful to witness! I stayed a bit further away to capture everything discreetly, so nothing would interrupt that moment.

After she said yes, we continued with a short engagement photoshoot, capturing cinematic and candid moments while everything was still real and fresh.

Now Rome will always be something special for them, because this is where she said yes.

And I was really happy to be there to capture it.
