Engagement photo session in Florence

A Picnic marriage proposal

This Picnic marriage proposal was one of the most exciting we ever planned. At first, Ishaan wrote to us about his idea to pop the question to his girlfriend in Italy. In Particular, he thought about something like Kristine & Steve’s session: somewhere in the countryside, in a small town or by a castle.

They were planning to stay in Florence, but at the same time, he wanted to capture the rolling hills and overall rustic feel of the area.  For this reason, we immediately thought about Certaldo. 

Certaldo and the Canonica Hill Park

This little hamlet is just 40 minutes away from Florence. Moreover, we could shoot in a cozy medieval town and the most typical Tuscan countryside. Canonica Hill Park is just 5 minutes outside the village, and it’s a wide space visited mainly by the locals.

We suggested this option to Ishaan during a Facetime call, and he looked, enthusiast. That was gonna be his first time to visit this region, and they were not considering to drive.  For this reason, we shared the contact of Francesco at the Florence Limousine Service, who brought them directly to the park. 

Picnic and Romantic Dinner

At this point, we needed an excuse to bring them there. So we inquired Eleonora and Erik at the Osteria del Vicario about the possibility to organize a picnic for our clients. Not only they provided a wonderful setting in the fields, but also offered a Romantic Dinner in their secret garden.

Here’s the selection of our favorites. We hope you’ll enjoy, and perhaps, will be inspired. If you’re dreaming to create something like this, feel free to drop us a line, at the bottom of this page.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
