In mid-November, the weather had been wonderful with clear blue skies until the day of Victor and Brittany’s photo shoot. The day before was lovely, and the day after was even better! I offered them the option to reschedule or cancel the photo shoot. They wanted to go ahead! They were living in Wengen and…
The photo shoot was initially scheduled for the next day, but with rain forecasted, we managed to move it up by a day. Flexibility is always beneficial. Zermatt is a favored destination, thanks to its stunning combination of mountains and lakes. The downside is the occasional presence of people in the background, requiring significant time…
A photo shoot in the Swiss Alps surrounding Zermatt on a chilly September day. Snow blankets the northern side of the Alps, though not here. The cold weather was not ideal for Nao’s wedding dress. Our photo shoot began at Leisee Lake, at an elevation of 2,232 meters. We concluded at Stellisee Lake, (elevation 2,547…
Photo shoot around one of the lakes in the mountains above Zermatt. I only had an hour to take the pictures before we had to return to Zermatt and take the train up to Riffelalp. I have 5 different locations around the lake with the Matterhorn mountain in the background.
I was photographer for an elopement in Zermatt in August. I photographed three wedding couples in two days.

The third day of the photo shoot with Lalina and Thomas ended up in Trocadéro square. Here there is a spectacular view of the Eiffel tower. There are a lot of tourists here! Finding somewhere quiet can be a challenge. The light is disappearing as I took these pictures. The “champagne” is some cheap stuff…
An 8 a.m. before the wedding photo shoot with Thomas and Lalina in the Montmartre district of Paris. Situated on the Right Bank in Paris’s northern 18th arrondissement.

This was the first time Priya had experienced snow! Fortunately it was the best type of snow – powder snow. The photo shoot was on the only day of good weather. Priya and Sanchit enjoyed throwing the snow in the air but it was very cold. Priya had to borrow my spare gloves afterwards to…
Ada and Patrick booked me for an early morning post wedding photo shoot in Lauterbrunnen. The sun was rising from the left of the picture. Harsh sunlight! My favorite is during the afternoon on a sunny day. Anytime when it is cloudy. There are lovely rich colors if the photo shoot is after a rain…

A late afternoon pre wedding photo shoot with a lovely couple from Singapore. I must admit to being concerned about the weather. Samuel had to delay the photo shoot a few hours. He couldn’t get into the BnB in Lauterbrunnen before 5 pm. Any bad weather usually comes during the late afternoon! They had a…
An early morning photo shooting in the mountains that surround Wengen. It was very cold until the sun started to shine over the mountain tops. Low sun can be a challenge to the photographer. I personally prefer a cloudy day with the clouds higher than the mountains. Softening the rays from the sun. I shall…
