FAQ
How does a secret proposal photoshoot work?
It’s actually much easier than most people think.
Contact me and I will help you choose the perfect location, timing, and plan for the proposal. I’ll guide you step by step so everything feels natural, relaxed, and stress-free.

Do we need a car to get to the locations?
All towns in the list of locations are accessible by train/bus, a car is not necessary.
It will be necessary only if you want your pictures taken at a Masseria, which are generally located outside of towns, where it is not possible to access them by public transportation.
Can I book more than 1 location/city?
Yes you can! you need to have in mind that 1 location (city) = 1 shooting.
So in case of booking 2 cities, for example, you need to book 2 shootings.
What if the weather changes?
Puglia is usually sunny, but if needed, we’ll always help you find the best solution — whether that means adjusting the timing, changing locations, or rescheduling when possible.
