How does it work?

Planning a proposal in Rome can feel exciting — but also a little overwhelming. Fortunately, we guide you through every step so your surprise unfolds perfectly. First, we pre-plan all the details online to minimize uncertainty. Then, meet your photographer in Rome discreetly on location and exchange a silent signal to keep the proposal a true surprise. Next, follow them to the predetermined spot at a comfortable distance and at your own pace.

Once there, the photographer will position themselves on the precise spot. They will take a few pictures from there to show you the exact position. Once you’ve seen it, they will casually move away for you to replace their position. From then on, they’ll be ready to photograph and/or record video whenever you’re ready to ask the big question! This way, you can focus entirely on your promise and leave the photography aspect to us!

FAQ

Planning & Logistics

How will I meet the photographer?

After the planning phase, meeting your Rome photographer is simple and discreet. You’ll receive a precise meeting point by email. Then, at the agreed time, the photographer will already be there waiting for you.

Once you’ve quietly recognized each other with a prearranged signal, they’ll guide you to the exact proposal spot — ideally without your partner noticing a thing.

What’s the best way to communicate with the photographer?

WhatsApp instant messaging is the easiest way to stay in touch with your photographer on the day of the engagement. Email can be delayed or land in spam, and regular text messages may incur international fees for some photographers.

WhatsApp is fast, reliable, and cost-effective — you’ll just need an internet connection.

What happens in case of rain?

If rescheduling isn’t possible, a full refund is issued minus a 10% processing fee, as detailed in the booking terms. We monitor conditions via the 3B Meteo app, which improves in accuracy closer to the date, and for maximum reliability, you can also check the Italian Air Force forecast. Using the same sources lets us make quick, informed decisions together.

Nighttime, Early Morning and Festivities

Nighttime and early morning sessions are subject to a +20% overnight fee. Applicable to photography and/or video coverage, car service, and musicians. However, it does not apply to post-processing options, except for Expedient Image Delivery if selected.

Because sunset and sunrise times change throughout the year and with Daylight Saving Time, these thresholds vary by date. Likewise, bookings on public festivities such as Christmas, New Year’s, Easter, and August 15th (Ferragosto) are also subject to a +20% surcharge.

Finally, please note that the booking system does not automatically calculate this fee at checkout. Instead, if applicable and if the session is feasible, the surcharge will be added at the confirmation stage.

Photos, Delivery & Timing

Can we get a few pictures right away to share with friends and family members?

Yes. We offer the 2-week Expedient Image Delivery, which includes 5-10 photos delivered the same day via WhatsApp or email with a download link. Meanwhile, all remaining images are delivered within two weeks, fully enhanced with post-production. Therefore, please include this option in your Instant Quote for a faster turnaround.

Evening or daytime shoots for best picture quality?

Daytime sessions give clear, well-lit photos with visible expressions and flexibility in framing. Evening sessions are trickier due to fading light and limited flash use, but they can create dramatic colors and contrast at sunset or dusk. Overall, daytime is safer with more consistent results, while evening offers a more artistic look but with higher risk.

When and How many pictures will I receive?

How many pictures will I receive?

You’ll get as many shots as we take, after removing duplicates, out-of-focus images, bad framing, or poorly exposed photos. For daytime sessions, expect at least 60 pictures per hour, digitally delivered with post-production. Evening sessions yield fewer images, around 40 per hour, due to lower light conditions.

When will I receive them?

Delivery can take up to 2 months, but typically around 1 month. For faster turnaround, select the 2-week Expedient Image Delivery, which also includes 3–5 images delivered the same day from the camera.

Booking, Payment & Coverage

What are the payment options?

30% advance payment is due at the moment of booking by credit card via PayPal or Stripe. The balance payment can be paid by Euro cash on the day or by credit card  +6% studio payment transfer fees.
