Whether it’s a trip to Venice or your local beauty spot where you shared your first kiss, don’t make the proposal until you’re in a romantic setting, preferably at sunset, and the moment will be magical even if you do without the bells and whistle that some couples put in place when they get engaged.
Hire a Photographer
