Rome Surprise Engagement Photography Services

At the Pincio Terrace overlok

What a beautiful surprise! Proposing while looking over the city of Rome from the beautiful Pincio park outlook terrace! A great surprise followed by joyful YES! Celebrating with Italian sparkling wine and a wonderful walk around the city taking an engagement photoshoot together! So we started in the vicinity taking some great photos of just walking and admiring the beauty. Then chatting, talking and laughing while sitting down and hanging out on a park bench. Where we had the opportunity to also take some great engagement ring pictures with some flowers we found along the way. Heading to the Villa Borghese small lake to take some nice portrait pictures with the temple lake as backdrops.

We decided for the Spanish steps as the next shooting location. Taking some nice shots as we walked to it. Including some photos of walking down the staircase. Sitting down below the Trinita’ dei Monti church. And down below by the Barcaccia water fountain. Ending the surprise engagement photo session around the corner in Via Margutta. For some typical and characteristic cobblestone alleyways shots!
