Sometimes, a single photo shoot tells more than one story. When Stefano and Lotta traveled from Germany to the beautiful coast of Rethymno, Crete, Lotta thought she was simply stepping into a maternity session. Expecting their first child, she was excited to capture memories of her baby bump along the waves, holding the sweet ultrasound scan of their future little one against the Cretan sea.
Little did she know, Stefano had a secret plan up his sleeve.
A Maternity Shoot with a Twist
As the afternoon light softened over the Aegean Sea, we began capturing gentle, timeless moments of the glowing couple. Between laughing, walking along the shoreline, and sharing quiet moments together, Stefano saw his opportunity.
Right in the middle of our session, with the sea breeze and waves around us, he reached into his pocket, dropped to one knee, and asked Lotta to marry him.
The sheer surprise and joy on Lotta’s face were priceless. What started as a celebratory maternity shoot instantly transformed into a unforgettable proposal and love story all in one.
Capturing Magic on the Coast of Crete
It was an incredible honor to document this triple-milestone moment for Stefano and Lotta—a celebration of their love, their upcoming addition to the family, and their engagement. The emotion was completely genuine, making every frame feel effortlessly warm and real.
Thank you, Stefano and Lotta, for trusting me with such an important chapter of your lives. Wishing you endless happiness, a smooth journey into parenthood, and a lifetime of love together!
