A magical Cinque Terre double proposal

In the picturesque setting of Cinque Terre, we had the privilege of capturing a truly unforgettable moment — a Cinque Terre double proposal!

The rising trend of “double proposing” is gaining popularity among LGBTQ+ couples, reshaping norms in the wedding industry.

A double proposal signifies both partners proposing to each other simultaneously, symbolizing a deep connection and mutual love.

This rare and beautiful moment stands as a testament to equality, shared dreams, and profound affection. It’s no surprise that couples cherish this unique event as one of the most memorable in their lives.

The double proposal experience

To foster balance in their relationship, many LGBTQIA+ couples opt for a double proposal. This entails both partners proposing to each other, whether at the same moment or on separate occasions. Whether your partner is aware of your intentions or not, having a plan and a ring ready is key. Stay open to the possibility of a reciprocal proposal if you propose first, and consider carrying the ring with you for a spontaneous proposal if you sense your partner may propose first.

Our experience with this Cinque Terre double proposal was truly heartfelt and unforgettable, marking a special milestone in our photography career.

The proposal plan

Sharn envisioned a proposal to his boyfriend Massad that would beautifully represent their unique bond. With their relationship being so special, he aimed to create a heartfelt and intimate proposal moment.

So we helped Sharn plan everything, including arranging a private boat tour in Cinque Terre. The goal was to create memories that they could look back on in the future with a sense of pride and contentment.

Cinque Terre: the perfect setting for a double proposal in Italy

Cinque Terre offers a stunning backdrop for such a significant moment. With its picturesque coastal villages and breathtaking views, it’s no wonder couples choose this location for their special day. For more info on why Cinque Terre is perfect for proposals, you can check out this guide.

The Surprise Proposal

As the boat gently rocked on the waves in front of Riomaggiore harbor, Sharn got down on one knee to propose. To everyone’s surprise, Mass had planned his own proposal and got down on one knee as well. The double proposal was a heartwarming and emotional moment that left everyone speechless.

The Perfect Ending to a Cinque Terre Proposal

To top off this incredible day, they jumped into the water for a celebratory swim, adding a fun and spontaneous twist to their romantic day. It was a perfect end to a perfect proposal.

This is what Shan shared about his proposal experience with us in Cinque Terre

I recently had the pleasure of working with Meraki Photography to capture one of the most important moments of my life – my engagement proposal. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional, and the way they captured the raw emotions of that moment was truly amazing.

From the very beginning, Sara and Ale showed a genuine interest in understanding our story and what we were looking to convey through the photographs. Their professionalism and attention to detail during the planning phase were remarkable. They took the time to help plan and provide options for the best location.

What struck me the most was their ability to capture the genuine emotions of me and my partner. The shots perfectly captured the surprise, joy, and even the happy tears that flowed freely.

When we received the final photographs, we were left speechless. Each image seemed to tell a story, freezing those fleeting moments in time. The emotions were so palpable that looking at the pictures felt like reliving the proposal itself. The way they played with light and shadows added an artistic touch that elevated the entire collection.

Their knack for capturing emotions goes beyond technical skills. It’s evident that they have a deep understanding of human connections and the ability to anticipate and capture those split-second expressions that convey a world of feelings. The photographs were not just pictures; they were a testament to the love and happiness shared on that day.

Their passion for their craft, coupled with their ability to turn emotions into visual stories, is inspiring. I’m forever grateful for the memories they’ve preserved for us and can’t recommend their services highly enough.
