What Couples Say
Common Questions
What's the best time to propose in Venice?
Sunrise (6-7 AM) offers privacy, soft light, and empty piazzas—perfect for an intimate surprise. Golden hour (1 hour before sunset) provides warm, cinematic tones. I’ll recommend the optimal time based on your chosen location and season.
How do you stay hidden during the proposal?
I blend in as a “tourist photographer” shooting the scenery. We’ll establish a subtle signal beforehand (like a hand gesture or text message) so I know exactly when you’re about to propose. Your partner won’t suspect a thing until after you’ve popped the question!
Can you help plan the surprise?
Absolutely! I’ll help you choose the perfect location based on your style, scout the exact spot, coordinate timing to avoid crowds, and plan all the logistics. I’ve coordinated 500+ proposals—I know how to make your surprise flawless.
Do you offer gondola proposals?
Yes! Gondola proposals are one of my specialties. I coordinate with trusted gondoliers and either ride discreetly on the gondola or shoot from a scenic bridge to capture the moment. The Gondola Proposal package is designed specifically for this magical experience.
How fast will we receive the photos?
You’ll receive 2-3 preview images within 24 hours—perfect for sharing the exciting news with family and friends! The full professionally edited gallery (50-100 photos) is delivered within 5 working days via private online download link.
What happens if it rains or there's high tide (acqua alta)?
Light rain can actually create romantic, atmospheric photos (umbrellas and reflections add magic!). For heavy rain or acqua alta flooding, we’ll adjust timing or switch to a backup location. I monitor weather forecasts closely and will contact you 48 hours before to discuss options.
What's your payment and cancellation policy?
Pay 100% upfront via credit card or PayPal for instant booking confirmation. Prefer cash? Pay €100 deposit now and the balance in cash on the day.
🛡️ Risk-Free Guarantee: Full refund if you cancel up to 24 hours before your session. We understand travel plans can change!
Should I tell my partner we're doing a photoshoot?
Many clients say they’re doing a “couples photoshoot” or “vacation photos” as cover. This explains why you’re getting dressed up and why a photographer is around. Then I’ll start with some casual couple shots before you surprise them with the proposal—they’ll never see it coming!
Can you help with ring delivery or other surprises?
Yes! I can coordinate with hotels, restaurants, or vendors for champagne delivery, flower arrangements, or other special touches. I’m here to help make your proposal absolutely perfect in every detail.
