Propose in Milan

A 60-minute Proposal photoshoot in Milan costs €129 and includes 20 edited photographs. Published packages range from €129 to €179.

Almost never, if you choose the hidden version. Piazza del Duomo holds several thousand people at any time of day and your photographer works from distance with a long lens, dressed like a tourist. They do not approach, wave or make eye contact until you give the agreed signal.

Not at all — there are three ways to do it and the hidden version is only the most popular one. One: we stay hidden. Your photographer is in position before you arrive and you never acknowledge them until after the yes. Two: you meet us first. We start what looks like an ordinary couples shoot, and partway through you propose on a signal you have agreed with the photographer — she is relaxed and already being photographed, which often makes the better pictures. Three: straight after. You propose privately with nobody else there, then meet your photographer for portraits as a newly engaged couple. Same price, same packages. Tell us which you want when you book.

Piazza del Duomo is the most requested, and the square is large enough that the photographer stays invisible. The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is the wet-weather alternative thirty seconds away. Castello Sforzesco and Parco Sempione are ten minutes west and much quieter — several of our Milan proposals happen at the fountain in front of the castle, early, with almost nobody around.

You tell us where you intend to propose, roughly when, and which of the three approaches you want. We agree a meeting point, a signal, and a fallback in case the moment moves. Your photographer confirms by message when they are in position. After the yes, they step in. If the proposal does not happen that day for any reason, we reschedule rather than charge you.

Tell us and we move it. Proposals change plan more often than any other shoot we do and we expect it. As long as we know before the photographer travels, there is no charge for changing the spot or the time.

Milan is one of the few cities where this barely matters. The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a covered arcade thirty seconds from Piazza del Duomo, so a wet proposal usually moves there rather than being cancelled.

Silver is 60 minutes and 20 edited photographs, delivered within 24 hours. Gold is 60 minutes and 50 photographs, also within 24 hours, and is the one most people book. Platinum is 60 minutes, 50 photographs and a 30-second edited film — delivered the same day. All three are shot by the same photographers in the same places.

Silver and Gold arrive within 24 hours. Platinum is delivered the same day — usually within a few hours of the shoot, so you can send it to family the evening it happens. Everything comes in a private online gallery you download at full resolution, and nothing is ever posted publicly without your say-so.

In many cities yes, and we are confirming Milan now. Ask us when you book and we will tell you exactly what is possible and what it costs before you commit to anything.
