Proposing Marriage in Rome
Under the beautiful Castel Sant’Angelo bridge. A candid and spontaneous surprise wedding proposal photographed to the sound of romantic violin music played by a live violinist. During sunset and the golden hour with the sun sinking into the blue hour. A nicely executed surprise effect! Asking for her hand in one of the most scenic locations. And after the big question and the faithful yes! We celebrated with a lot of joy and happiness and a toast with fresh Italian prosecco sparkling wine. Then soon after enjoying the moment and the view with the beautiful music. We moved over to the immediate vicinity to take some more nice Rome engagement pictures. With beautiful golden light shining through. Creating nice photographic effects.
Then taking some nice walking shots with the distant bridge of Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II in the background. Next to the Tiber river water. Then moving over to the other side of the Castel Sant’Angelo bridge. Where the light changed completely and where we snapped some more pictures with the local river boat slowly passing by in the background. Completing the couple photo shoot with some nice engagement ring pictures and final portraits on top of the bridge overlooking the castle during the blue hour!
