A couple months ago, Jacky sent us an email inquiring about a photoshoot to do with his girlfriend, Mary, while on vacation in Italy. BUT, what whe also mentioned confidentially, is that he wanted to do a surprise proposal in front of an iconic place in Rome, the Colosseum! You can just guess how thrilled we were as soon as we read the mail! We were wowed and could not wait that morning to arrive. We exchanged a few emails – with all the difficulties of China blocking quite a few sites and making it harder to communicate – about the bouquet Jacky wanted to gift Mary, about some prosecco to pop after the question and the so-hoped-for “Yes”…

Finally the day arrived and we were so excited and nervous, almost as much as Jacky was. We had everything planned out, starting at the most famous spot in Italy to be the background of this sweet proposal. After a short warm up – we headed to this amazing terrace from which the view is simply amazing, and such a statement! We had Mary and Jacky dance, then while distracting the future bride, Jacky took the ring, and when she turned back… THE SURPRISE! Jacky on his knees, getting emotional and teared up, while Mary started crying too.. They were just so sweet, so elegant, so fun and cute. We can’t handle how happy we are sharing these photos!

“A wonderful photoshoot in Rome of us two just married. An unexpected trip from our beloved Spain, a quick search in Instagram for a photographer in the Eternal City and our luck was to find them, Silvia and Rita, the best photographers in Rome. They reflected all our happiness and love in the pictures. We wanted some natural photos and they have done magic. We are eternally grateful, thank you girls. We wish you all the luck of the world.”

“We had a great time during the photoshoot with Rita and Silvia. Fun, easygoing but at the same time very professional and knowledgeable, the girls helped us feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. We really appreciated their support, not to mention the beautiful flowers they were able to get us in the early morning in Rome (which was a miracle itself). Thank you for your help and beautiful photos, we will remember this moment for years to come. “

“It all started as a game; at the beginning we were very embarrassed but you girls managed to put us at ease so much that we ended loving it a lot and spent a whole and carefree day taking pictures in a wonderful place. We felt in harmony with the surrounding nature, it was amazing. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts and congratulations for your work: every photo conveys pure love and deep emotions. #spreadthelove 😉”
