As an experienced photographer, I have been fortunate enough to witness many beautiful and unforgettable moments throughout my career.

As a photographer, engagement proposal shoots have always been among the craziest experiences of my career. Each marriage proposal is unique but so stressful, though. Young men plan the moment for weeks, but at the crucial moment, they lose control and change plans, making my life difficult but also so much fun! In this case, no panic!

Truman Capote once said, “Love, having no geography, knows no boundaries.” He forgot to mention, “Including leaving Colorado for an Engagement photoshoot in Tuscany.” If not enough, this is also the greatest excuse to spend a few days on a romantic getaway on the other side of the world. Like T&M, who in the early spring let themselves be portrayed in the fields and hills of Tuscany just for legendary photos for their save the date. I met them in the surroundings of San Gimignano.
