KIND WORDS FROM MY CLIENTS
ECCELLENTE In base a 61 recensioni Carlos RIvera2025-05-19Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Alina was the perfect photographer for my surprise proposal in Rome! She was great with communication and planning, had excellent knowledge of the area, and was flexible with our specific needs. Everything went so smoothly. It was private and personal (Alina was willing to pretend to be a tourist so my Fiancé wouldn’t notice). After the proposal we walked around the Borghese Gardens with Alina guiding us in a very natural way. All of our photos came out so candid and beautiful. Truly a perfect experience. I would recommend Alina to anyone looking for a photoshoot as I’m sure her expertise carries into other types of photoshoots as well. Thank you Alina for perfectly photographing our special day!! Highly recommended!! Autumn MacLachlan2025-05-07Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google.

If you are also looking for a photographer in Rome, look no further than Alina, she is 10 out of 10 fantastic. She was so sweet and professional, she arrived at the meeting location on time, and she blended in perfectly until it was time to reveal herself and help us with our photo shoot.

Thank you for the great photos!! Will Zinno2025-02-21Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Alina was a fantastic choice for our surprise engagement photo shoot in Rome! She was very kind, inquisitive and made us feel comfortable during the photo shoot. We had a last minute change of location (due to construction), but Alina had gone there the day before and advised me of a new location near the Forum that was even more picturesque! We were delighted with the photos and received them all within a week if I remember correctly. I attached some of our favorite photos she took of us as well. I highly recommend Alina if you are looking for a solid photographer in Italy! Güliz Çeker2025-02-21Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. I met Alina during my boyfriend's surprise proposal. I thought she was a tourist and photographing the scenery, but she was actually photographing me! She was so cool, kind and sweet and made us very comfortable during our (for me) surprise proposal shoot. I truly thank her for creating perfect memories at the beginning of everything..

FAQ - Things to know when you book a proposal photoshoot in Rome
Once i receive your reservation request, i make sure i’m available for the date you need and then i’ll send you a booking confirmation email. AFTER my email confirmation, you can go ahead and make the payment for the chosen package. You will then receive a booking confirmation message with all the reservaation details.
All photos are professionally edited and delivered in a private online gallery where you can download your favorite photos included in your package in high-resolution jpg format. Additional files and high-quality prints are also available for purchase. You should receive an email with your photography gallery link within 3 to 5 business days.
I offer a high-resolution (3300px by 2200px) sharable photo gallery. If you have a specific size requirement for a special project, please let me know when you book! Please note that a small fee may apply for extra-special photo size requirements.
I understand that you love your photos and that you'd like to have more. No problem, additional photos are available for purchase. . The supplimentary costs are listed on my price list that i'll send to you.
To avoid crowds, waking up early is worth it! I also love to shoot during ‘Golden Hour’, the first or last hour of sunlight which helps produce a softer and more warm light due to the indirect sunlight that is evenly diffused. AVOID anytime between 11am and 3 pm, since they tend to be the busiest and brightest times of the day.
All my photography packages are time-based. 1 hour is usually perfect for a small family or couple photo session, but if you plan on having 5 or more people I normally recommend at least 90 minutes. However, the size of your party is ultimately up to you!
If you cancel more than 7 days before your shoot date, I will honor a 100% deposit refund minus the 3% payment processor fee.
If you cancel 7 days or less before your shoot we will honor a 90% deposit refund.
If you cancel 3 days or less before the shoot, we will honor a 50% refund
If you cancel 1 day or less before the shoot, or do not show up to a shoot, there is no refund.
I will attempt to accommodate any rescheduling requests free of charge, but we cannot guarantee we will be able to do so. Last-minute changes are also not guaranteed. Shoot time missed due to late arrivals may be forfeited, and the number of photos delivered can be adjusted to reflect the actual time spent together.
Same-day shoots are not guaranteed.
All sales are final and there is no refund for canceled shoots within 24 hours of the shoot or ‘no-shows’.
We’ll get in touch a couple of days before the shooting and we check the forecast. In the case of bad weather, exploring the city under the rain can be exciting, and it will make for great photos (trust me!). If the weather conditions are really bad, we’ll coordinate to re-schedule or I will issue a full refund at my discretion.
Usually, yes, but sometimes I have booked the rest of my day around the location you’ve already chosen so it may not be possible. This is especially true in high season for last-minute changes. I will always try my best to accommodate you.
