Italy Venice Photographer for Wedding Elopement Proposal

Miranda & Mark

Italy / Venice / Venetian Gondola / Piazza San Marco / Ponte dell’ Academia

Mark came across my work when planning a European trip and we started to talk about doing a secret proposal in Venice, Italy. Of course I was up for it and we started planning everything.

It was a lot of work, but together with the hotel Hotel Palazzo Giovanelli we made it happen. Big thanks to Francesco Landra at the hotel, who was very helpful in arranging the honeymoon suite and arranging the gondola. A lot of logistics go into something like this and it’s no piece of cake.

What the couple had to say:


“Tomáz was amazing to work with. Very professional, punctual, and talented. He went above and beyond to make my surprise engagement in Venice super special. The photos turned out great! He helped to plan everything, communicated with my hotel, helped to line up logistics with our gondola ride, purchased and helped design the flower bouquet, put up a “She said yes” banner on one of the bridges, and even came with a nice bottle of champaign which he gave us for free. He is the real deal if you want to make a memory last forever. I would recommend him 10/10 times. Thank you!”
Mirana and Mark

I even organised a banner to be hanged over the bridge at Ponte dell’ Academia that you can see in the images bellow and also a lovely bouquet from a nearby flower shop with Miranda’s favourite flowers.

Mark, from Chicago USA, and Miranda, from Florida USA, met at a Leadership Development Training program in Peachtree City Georgia, USA. They were selected for the program among the top sales reps by their previous employer – ADP. They kept in contact after the training. Nine months later, Miranda interviewed for a Sales Manager role in Chicago; an interview Mark tipped her off to. She got the role, moved to Chicago and the rest is history! They are now officially engaged.

Mark chose me as the right photographer for the job to capture this secret proposal in Venice, Italy. The images turned out great, even tho there was a couple of difficulties.

If you’re also planning on proposing, I’m available for booking in Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and other European countries. Just make sure to send an inquiry a couple of months beforehand to check for an availability.
