Villa Borghese Lake Proposal in Rome

The couple arrived at Villa Borghese by private car transfer courtesy of WheretoRome and continued towards the lake on foot. The photographer from Rome and his video assistant arrived just before the couple to scout the area. Carefully choose the best position for the proposal and select a location for the view, the direction of the light and the best possible shooting angle. A more secluded spot with fewer people passing through also helped keep the proposal more intimate. Once the couple reached the chosen area, the photographer stayed at a distance and waited for the right moment.

A Surprise Proposal by the Lake

The proposal happened naturally by the lake. The moment was photographed from a distance, while a short video was also recorded. Afterwards, we met met and introduced ourselves. The atmosphere became relaxed as we continued around Villa Borghese for the engagement photoshoot.

Engagement Photos Around Villa Borghese

We stopped at different points around the lake, using the changing views and surroundings for a varied series of photographs. Suggesting different angles and posing ideas, while allowing more spontaneous moments to happen naturally. We also took the time to shoot something a little more playful, like taking a fun selfie together! The bougainvillea around the gardens also provided another setting for the picture portraits. We used the flowers for a few colourful photographs, as well as for closer pictures of the engagement ring. From the lake, after this stunning proposal in beautiful golden light, we continued walking towards the Pincio terrace.

Sunset at the Pincio

The final part of the session had a different atmosphere. From the terrace, the view opens across Rome, with the rooftops and historic centre stretching out below. By then, the sun was getting lower and the light had become warmer. We finished the engagement photoshoot with a final series of portraits overlooking the Roman skyline.  It was the perfect ending to the afternoon. Finally, we reached the Pincio as the sun was setting over Rome. A beautiful way to finish this very special proposal in Rome!
