A DREAM PROPOSAL WITH LAKE COMO VIEWS
Hakim And Mounia
Some love stories stay with you forever, and Hakim and Mounia’s is definitely one of them. When Hakim reached out to plan a surprise proposal, I immediately knew it was going to be something special.
The location he chose was the Hotel Paradiso in Brunate, a stunning terrace with one of the most breathtaking views over Lake Como—an ideal setting for such an intimate and meaningful moment. I took a seat just a few tables away, blending in as a regular guest, while they enjoyed their dinner. We had agreed on a simple signal: when Hakim returned from the bathroom, he would propose.
And just like that, it happened. As the sun began to set, casting golden light over the lake and the city below, Hakim got down on one knee and asked Mounia to marry him. Her surprise was real and deeply moving. Capturing that moment—the joy, the tears, the embrace—was truly a privilege.
After the proposal, we headed to the Volta Lighthouse in Brunate, an iconic location offering panoramic views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. There, we had a sunset couple shoot, using the warm, soft light to tell their love story in a magical setting.
Every proposal is unique, but some moments truly feel timeless. This was one of them.
