Vincent & Shalina
their kind of yes.
A quiet approach, a huge answer, and the first few portraits beneath the rotunda.
Questions, answered
Keep the plan
grounded.
Where should the proposal happen at the Palace?
The rotunda is the most recognizable option, but the surrounding paths and architecture create other natural stopping points. We can choose a sightline that feels personal rather than staged.
How do you handle foot traffic?
The Palace is an open public setting, so we plan around movement and keep a second position in mind. The goal is to stay ready without making the moment feel directed.
What happens after the proposal?
We can move into portraits beneath the rotunda and around the surrounding architecture while the reaction is still fresh.
Can you help with the approach?
Yes. Share how you want your partner to arrive and what should feel natural. Ed can help turn that idea into a calm sequence.
