Engaged in Rome
In the heart of eternal city, with the Colosseum as a powerful backdrop, a surprise wedding proposal took place in a small, secluded park offering one of the most distinctive views of this ancient landmark. The setting blended the historic character of the city with an intimate atmosphere. Making this proposal in Rome both memorable and visually striking!
The engagement happened in the late afternoon, with the couple arriving at the park by car service. They casually met with the local photographer from Rome, without revealing the surprise, before continuing toward the chosen spot. Nearby, a violinist was already in position, waiting quietly. The park, surrounded by greenery and overlooking the Colosseum, offered a calm contrast to the city just beyond its walls. As they walked through the park, admiring the view, the sound of the violin slowly became noticeable, guiding them toward the moment he took her hand and knelt on one knee.




The moment of asking the big question!
The reaction was immediate, marked by surprise and emotion as he asked the carefully planned question! From a distance, the photographer and videographer discreetly documented the scene, allowing everything to unfold naturally. The combination of live music, the Colosseum in the background. And the quiet park setting gave this Rome proposal a cinematic feel without interrupting the moment itself.










After the faithful yes!
The session continued around the Colosseum with a relaxed photoshoot in Italy and short video clips. Staying in the same area allowed the story to flow naturally, without changing locations. The ancient arches and imposing stone walls of the Colosseum framed each image, highlighting both the surroundings and the connection between the couple. This approach reflects the way many sessions are handled by a professional photographer, combining storytelling with the city’s historic context!



Filming the engagement story
Alongside the photographs, creative video clips were filmed to document the engagement photoshoot from different perspectives. Set against one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world, the footage followed the rhythm of the afternoon and the movement through the park. In addition to the Colosseum views, the location offered distinctive details, including ancient vases, marble balustrades, and Mediterranean pine trees that added depth to the setting. These elements helped complete the visual story of the engagement and made this engagement photography session stylish, romantic and fun!
