When Andrew reached out to me months ago, he had one goal in mind: to plan the perfect surprise proposal for the love of his life, Elaine, in one of their favorite places in the world, Positano. At sunrise, with the golden light, Andrew got down on one knee on Marina Grande beach. Elaine’s shock and joy made the moment unforgettable.

After the big “yes,” we walked through the streets of Positano, capturing their joy. We ended the session at a spectacular panoramic point, with breathtaking views all to themselves.

Shortly after the shoot, Andrew wrote to me: “Brenda, thank you again for your time and patience. Words can’t express how much I really appreciate it. I’m glad you and Elaine were able to click as well. Can’t wait to request you again when Elaine and I start planning our wedding venue. Elaine just called her mom and there were a lot of tears of joy.”

Moments like these remind me why I do what I do. If you’re dreaming of a surprise proposal in Positano or anywhere in Italy, I’d love to help you plan and capture every moment, from the quiet nerves before the question to the pure joy that follows.
