Photos or Video? Or Both ?

Videography Coverage

A proposal video tells the full story, capturing spoken words and raw emotions. However, it may require a microphone and involves more post-production. Filming discreetly in public spaces can also be challenging but results in a beautifully cinematic memory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with further queries



It's advisable to start planning at least one to two months ahead. This timeframe allows for securing necessary permits, booking a skilled photographer, coordinating with any vendors, and addressing logistical details to ensure a seamless experience.

While photographs capture specific moments and emotions, videos provide a dynamic and comprehensive view of the event. Deciding between the two depends on personal preference and budget. Some choose one over the other, while others opt for both to have a complete record of the occasion.

Lighting plays a crucial role in photography. Many photographers recommend scheduling the proposal during the "golden hour," which is shortly after sunrise or before sunset, to achieve warm and flattering light. However, the ideal time may vary based on the specific location and desired ambiance.

To ensure your partner is dressed appropriately and feels comfortable, consider planning an activity that naturally leads to the proposal setting. For instance, suggest going out for a nice dinner or a casual photo session under another pretext. This way, your partner will be prepared without suspecting the upcoming proposal.

We can only shoot in case of light rain or drizzle, and only for a short amount of time. You will have 24 hours prior to the contracted date and time to request a postponement via email. We will do our utmost to find the best solution given our availability.

Choose a location that balances romance, privacy, and stunning scenery. Iconic spots like the Colosseum or Trevi Fountain are breathtaking but crowded, so early mornings are best. For a quieter setting, consider the Orange Garden, Pincio Terrace, or a hidden street in Trastevere. If you want a panoramic view, Gianicolo Hill or a private rooftop is ideal. Think about accessibility, the season, and how naturally the location fits into your plans to keep the surprise intact.
