Traveling to Rome and proposing at Villa Borghese

Surprise wedding proposal

What a beautiful surprise wedding proposal this turned out to be! Perfectly orchestrated with the compliance of the weather which brought out a most beautiful sunshiny day! Meeting directly by the small lake in the Villa Borghese park. With the photographer actually taken by surprise by the arrival of our couple! And which had to circle around the lake one more time. But soon to find out why! With a beautiful and romantic marriage proposal in front of Temple of Asclepius. Followed by great joy and happiness which came with us throughout the engagement photo shoot that followed!

After catching breath we took a walk in the park heading for the Temple of Diana. While shooting along the way on a park bench. And by the green park grass where we snapped a really nice photo with the just the right light. When we reached the Temple of Diana, we continued with some nice engagement photos. Both outside, posing on the steps as well as inside the small temple. Standing in between the columns and on the central pedestal guided by their Rome photographer.

Then we headed to the Pincio park terrace. Which is found on the edge of the park and which overlooks the city from above with a sweeping view of the skyline. Taking some really nice engagement photos on both terraces. Where in the second terrace we were enlightened by some really nice piano music played by a nearby street musician which brought about a really nice mood!
