Rome Colosseum Proposal

By 23 September 2019December 26th, 2025

Asking the BIG question!

In one of Rome’s most amazing and iconic locations! An incredibly beautiful surprise wedding proposal perfectly set up to take place in the early morning sunrise. As the sun was just rising above the horizon. Right in front of the Roman Coliseum. Just waiting for the right moment to drop to one knee to ask the question. Among early morning photographers all waiting with their tripods for the right light to photograph this incredibile monument!

But we were there for a different reason! And almost out of the blue this once in a lifetime moment took place with great surprise! Followed by even more joy and happiness! Then after catching breath a little bit from the great shock. We continued on a nice Couple PhotoShoot in around the area. Walking just a little further down to take some nice couple portraits in front of Arch of Constantine. And a little higher climbing on a small hill to reach a very scenic spot. Taking pictures on a large tree trunk overlooking the monument from above. This Colosseum proposal photo session ended on the other side of the landmark with some final portrait pictures from a different perspective!

A brief Engagement Shoot

After asking the big question in front of the ancient amphitheater. With the city moving quietly around them. A brief pause followed, then a few steps away from the busiest path. They walked slowly, staying close, letting the space open up around them. The arches appeared one after another, shaping the background as they moved. Some frames showed the full setting. Others focused on smaller gestures along the way. The final images captured the rhythm of the moment, closing the story as the light shifted gently into daytime.
