An amazing couple, a surprise marriage proposal and the spectacular Swiss Alps — what more could you ask for?

I had the pleasure of helping make this special moment happen by working with the proposer beforehand to plan the surprise. My role was to help choose the location, get into position discreetly and be ready to capture the moment when the big question was asked.

High above Lauterbrunnen, overlooking the magnificent valley, the proposal took place against one of the most spectacular backdrops in Switzerland. As the question was asked and the answer given, I was there to capture the excitement, emotion and happiness of the moment.
