Another surprise marriage proposal in the mountains that surround Lauterbrunnen. This location for engagements has overtaken Iseltwald Pier probably because it is quiet. Iseltwald is a tourist destination these days with extra buses operating from Interlaken Ost railway station. The weather has been a challenge lately. I am finalizing photo shoots up to 24 hours…

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 Florida couple get engaged in Grindelwald, with the stunning Eiger mountain as their backdrop. Nathaly was taken by surprise, and of course, she said yes! This site is conveniently near the heart of Grindelwald. However, availability can be limited. Occasionally, the farmer may fence off the area to protect the grass or allow cattle…

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!

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.

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…
