A proposal she'll never forget / How it works
I’ve always been in love with love, with the way it turns fleeting moments into timeless memories…
Planning a surprise proposal in Venice? I specialise in exactly this.
I work discreetly, blending into the crowd, invisible until the moment matters, so your partner never suspects a thing. What you get are raw, real, unscripted photos of the most important question of your life. No stiff poses. No awkward direction. Just the truth of that moment, preserved forever.

Send me a message with your idea, the location you have in mind, the date, and anything that makes your relationship special. I’ll take it from there.
We’ll stay in touch through private messages. Together we’ll choose the exact spot, the timing, and a subtle signal so we recognize each other without giving anything away. You’ll know exactly where to stand. I’ll know exactly where to hide.
You bring your partner to the spot. I’m already there, blending in like any other visitor with a camera. You ask the question. I capture everything, the question, the answer, the tears, the kiss.
Once she says yes, we spend another 20–30 minutes together for relaxed couple portraits in the streets nearby. You’ll still be glowing. The photos will show it.

Every location tells a different story. These are my favourites, I know the light, the crowds, and the exact spot to stand at every hour of the day.

The proposal lasts a few seconds. The celebration lasts a lifetime.
Once she says yes, we continue together for 20–30 minutes of couple portraits in the streets and canals nearby, candid, relaxed, and full of real emotion. No posing, no direction. Just the two of you, still in the moment, beautifully photographed.
You’ll receive your quick preview of 10 images within 24 hours, perfect for sharing with family the same evening. The full gallery arrives within 48 hours via your private Pixiset gallery.

The Moment, Because some seconds last forever
The proposal itself is everything. This package is designed for the couple who wants that one perfect moment captured with honesty and art, no frills, just pure emotion.
You ask the question. I capture the answer. And everything in between.

The Experience, A love story, told from beginning to end
From the moment she opens the door, camera-ready, glowing, completely unaware of what’s about to happen, to the tears, the laughter, and the first kiss as an engaged couple. This is the full story, beautifully told.
Your make-up artist comes to your hotel. I come to Venice. The rest? That’s between you two.

Every chapter of your Venice love story, beautifully told
The most complete proposal experience. Three hours, three locations, and every emotion captured from the first nervous steps to the celebration after. This is the package most couples wish they had booked.

A 30% deposit is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due 48 hours before your session.
All bookings are confirmed upon receipt of the deposit. Your date is not reserved until payment is received. Cancellations made more than 7 days before the session will receive a full refund of the deposit.
I know what you’re thinking: “How do I plan a surprise proposal in a city I don’t know, without her finding out?” That’s exactly what I’m here for. Leave the details to me, you just focus on the question.
Send me a message through the website or social channels, and we'll discuss ideas, availability, and how to make your vision come true.
Together, we'll choose the perfect location, a hidden Venetian corner, a panoramic terrace, or a romantic gondola ride, to make your proposal truly unforgettable.
Throughout the planning, we'll stay in touch with subtle, private messages. I'll guide you step by step, using secret signals and careful timing, like a true love spy.
When the moment arrives, I'll be there, blending in like any other visitor. With quiet anticipation, I'll capture the exact second you ask the question, turning it into a timeless memory filled with emotion and light.
Availability is strictly limited each month to ensure complete discretion, personalized location mapping, and flawless coordination for your surprise proposal. Secure your date today and let’s create an unforgettable moment together.

Nous avons passé un bon moment à nous promener dans les rues de Venise à la recherche de lieux non touristiques ! C'était fabuleux de trouver des coins romantiques, pleins de charme pour immortaliser notre voyage et ma grossesse 🤰🏽 Nous avons eu Cecilia Pennisi comme photographe, qui a fait un excellent travail malgré la barrière de la langue. Quand on s'engage des deux côtés, c'est toujours bien ! J'ai hâte de voir le résultat maintenant 🔥
