A proposal on Lake Garda
Your secret is safe with me. I’m Cecilia, fine-art photographer — I help partners plan intimate, unscripted proposals on the shores of Lake Garda, invisible until the moment.
The proposal lasts a few seconds.
The celebration lasts a lifetime.
Lake Garda hides. I know where. Three private settings — Malcesine, Sirmione and Riva del Garda — chosen for silence, light and distance from the crowds. Each one feels like a film set, yet is minutes away from the main towns.
All locations include permits and secret scouting. I arrive before you, I leave after the champagne. Your partner will think I’m just a random tourist with a good camera.
From the first WhatsApp message to the final gallery, every detail is planned so you can simply kneel — and remember the moment, not the logistics.
Invisible until YES
I hide, you kneel. No awkward photographer hovering, no posing until she says yes.
Secret scouting
Private map and timeline. I walk the route at the exact hour, check light, count tourists.
Previews in 24h
10 previews next morning, full fine-art edited gallery delivered within 48 hours.
Three shores, three stories
Each location on Lake Garda has its own character. I’ll help you choose the one that matches the proposal you’ve imagined.
Malcesine
The castle, the small harbour, the olive groves above the lake. A proposal here feels like a painting — especially at golden hour.
Sirmione
The peninsula, the castle walls, the crystal-clear water of Jamaica Beach. Elegant and cinematic, with endless reflections.
Riva del Garda
The northern shore, between lake and mountains. Dramatic light, quiet corners, and a breeze that makes every photo feel alive.
Invisible until you need me
From the first call to the afterglow portraits — everything is planned around the two of you.
Secret brief
15-min WhatsApp call. I learn her style, your story, your fears. You get a private Notion with timeline & map pins.
Scout & signal
I walk the route at the exact hour, check light, count tourists. We agree a subtle signal — cap adjustment, phone call.
The YES
I hide, you kneel. I shoot from 20m with an 85mm — intimate, not invasive. No posing until she says yes.
Afterglow portraits
20-30 min of slow portraits by the lake, no rush. 10 previews next morning, full gallery within 7 days.
Three ways to capture the YES

What partners say
“She was invisible the whole time. My girlfriend thought she was just a tourist taking photos of the lake. When I look at the pictures I still cry — she captured the two seconds I will never forget.”
Quick answers
Which locations on Lake Garda do you cover?
I shoot regularly in Malcesine, Sirmione and Riva del Garda, and I can also travel to Limone, Salò, Gardone and Punta San Vigilio on request. The price already includes travel to these locations.
How far in advance should I book?
I take a limited number of proposals per week, so the sooner the better — especially in high season (May–September). A 30% deposit secures your date; the balance is due before the session.
What if it rains on the day?
Free reschedule. I always prepare a covered backup location and we agree it in advance, so nothing is left to chance.
Will she see you before the proposal?
No. I arrive before you, blend into the crowd, and only reveal myself after the YES. Your partner will think I’m a random tourist until you tell her.
When will I receive the photos?
10 previews the next morning, full fine-art edited gallery within 48 hours (or 7 days for The Atelier), delivered via a private Pixiset gallery.
Can we keep the photos private?
Yes. By default your photos are private. If you’d like to allow me to use a selection for my portfolio, just let me know — it’s entirely your choice.
Your secret is safe with me
2-3 proposals per week only. I reply within 2 hours on WhatsApp, discreetly. Tell me your date and idea — I handle the rest.
