Luca keeps a proposal shoot light and conversational, capturing love naturally as the real reaction unfolds. He knows spots all over Venice depending on the vibe you are going for, and he is happy weaving through the small alleyways to find secluded corners with a good background. The person proposing reaches out ahead of time to share the idea, and he helps bring it to life.
Anastasiia has planned and photographed more than a hundred cinematic proposals, and she describes herself as the solar, enthusiastic girl you will remember as a friend from Italy. As she puts it, she does not just photograph your proposal, she becomes part of the memory. The process starts with your story and preferred locations.
Serena is an award-winning photographer who blends documentary storytelling with an editorial eye, and she wants couples to feel present, connected and completely themselves. Her role goes beyond photography. She guides you through the whole experience, from location scouting and planning to the discreet capture of the surprise itself.

A three-person Rome studio (Andrea, a second photographer, and a videographer) that covers the proposal, the portrait session after, and the edit from one team. During the surprise he works from a distance and lets the reaction land on its own, then loosens things up for the couple shots afterward, keeping the portraits natural rather than staged.
Gianfranco Catullo came out of photojournalism and has photographed in Rome for more than 20 years. He calls his own work a blend of fine art and reportage. He built his name on the surprise proposal, claiming to be the first in the city to treat it as a real photographic genre rather than a snapshot, and he stays out of sight until the yes lands.
Steps from the crowds on Charles Bridge there is a hidden Baroque garden, quiet and private. That is the spot she reaches for first. She also arranges the Strahov Library and the National Museum. Prague is home, and she'll travel to Vienna or Venice for it.
Kurt Vinion was a photojournalist before he shot couples, filing for Getty Images and international media. Coverage is discreet and from a distance, closer to reportage than direction. He has called the city home since 2008, and his awards include Czech Press Photo and a first place in Best of Photojournalism. His own specialty is sunrise: Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, Kampa Island.
