The Surprise Engagement Proposal
What a splendid day to ask the big question in the Eternal city! With just about perfect weather conditions. But with some logistical obstacles to overcome! Which rerouted us to the beautiful and calm Villa Borghese lake. Just in time for a romantic wedding marriage proposal overlooking the lake and Temple of Aesculapius. A picturesque 1786 ionic style temple amid a scenic lake atmosphere. Followed by all the joy and happiness of a pleasantly surprised Yes!
Then on a small photographic venture around the park and the gardens. To take splendid engagement photos in Italy. Starting off with some nice relaxed park bench portraits. Followed by some walking shots as we reached the Temple of Diana. Where we at times shoot elopement wedding ceremonies. Then we circled around the park. Taking some quick snapshots while sitting on the grass with beautiful sunsetting light. Finally reaching the Pincio park terrace. To catch the last beautiful rays of sunshine. In one of a kind portrait images taken while enjoying the panoramic view of the roman cityscape as the blue light slowly set in!
