Elite Miss New York Receives a Surprise Marriage Proposal in Amalfi
In the breathtaking setting of the Amalfi Coast, Alex meticulously planned a surprise marriage proposal in Amalfi for Adele, the esteemed 2017 Elite Miss New York. Their trip to Italy provided the perfect opportunity for this romantic gesture.
Prior to their departure from New York, Alex reached out to me, sharing his elaborate proposal plan in great detail. He sought my assistance in capturing candid shots of the momentous occasion, all while ensuring that Adele remained blissfully unaware of my presence. Though it seemed like a challenging task, Alex's plan was brilliantly straightforward. The only aspect he requested my input on was selecting a picturesque spot that showcased the stunning backdrop of Amalfi. Fortunately, I had just the spot in mind.
The plan unfolded as follows: Alex and I would coincidentally "bump into" each other in town, pretending to be long-lost classmates reconnecting after years apart.
As their arrival in Italy approached, Alex and I maintained communication, exchanging messages until mere minutes before our orchestrated "chance" encounter. Admittedly, I had some reservations prior to meeting them, unsure of how well our act would play out. However, to my delight, I must say that we executed our roles flawlessly, resembling two old friends catching up after a significant time apart.
After engaging in casual conversation for a while, Alex introduced Adele to me. Curiosity sparked, he inquired about the purpose of my presence with a camera. Sticking to our agreed-upon script, I explained that I was on a photography assignment for a local magazine.
Finally, seizing the perfect moment, Alex requested a photograph of himself and Adele together. Swiftly, as soon as the shutter clicked, he reached into his pocket, producing a ring, and tenderly proposed to her. Judging by Adele's astonished reaction, it was evident that she had no inkling of what was about to transpire.
The landscape bore witness to this unforgettable marriage proposal in Amalfi, forever etching a cherished memory in the hearts of Alex and Adele. Their love story now intertwined with the enchanting beauty of Amalfi, capturing a moment of pure surprise, joy, and the beginning of a lifelong journey together.
A year later Adele and Alex's stunning marriage proposal in Amalfi, I had the honor of being the photographer of their dream destination wedding at Tabiano Castle in Fidenza, Italy.
