Venice Proposal

After planning out all the details of the Venice proposal by email ahead of the date. We will meet on location at a predetermined spot. Exchange a secret signal that only we will know in order to make sure we have recognized each other but not giving away the surprise effect. Then proceed with the scheduled plan. Which usually entails following the photographer to the exact spot. In case of gondola ride this might differ a little bit as the photographer needs to be introduced as a couple photographer.  Once everything is in place, the moment can unroll and the photography can follow photographing from a distance. Hopefully without your partner noticing anything!

Yes we try to our best to maintain the moment’s spontaneity by photographing from a distance to keep the moment a surprise and to maintain intimacy.
