  • Wedding Photo Shoot

    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…

  • Surprise Engagement in Interlaken

    Jonathan surprised Becca with a marriage proposal in Interlaken in March 2023. She said yes by Lake Thunersee.

Contacting me by e-mail from the USA. She wrote…

  • Honeymoon Photo Shoot in Iseltwald

    A break in the weather and the possibility of a photo shoot in Iseltwald. It started to rain as soon as we started on the 10th March, 2023. We ran and sheltered in our cars. The rain and the wind stopped after 20 minutes and we managed to finish the photo shoot before it all…

  • Honeymoon photo shoot in Lauterbrunnen

    An early morning photo shoot with a lovely couple from Singapore. We were close to Wengen. The sun was behind the mountain peaks when we arrived.

  • Surprise Engagement near Interlaken

    A marriage proposal during a photo shoot in the mountains near Interlaken. We were lucky with the weather. The forecast was rain and little visibility. It was wrong again.

  • Engagement on the Jungfraujoch

    A surprise proposal of marriage on the Jungfraujoch on the 1st January, 2023 at an elevation of 3,454 meters (11,332 feet). You have to take it easy up here because you are going to feel the effects of the altitude. There were a lot of people on the “Plateau” and it went very quiet as…

  • Engagement Iseltwald Pier

    Another surprise engagement on Iseltwald Pier. As Jin Koi wrote afterwards, “You are truly the guy couples should go to if they want to have their photos taken in Switzerland.” I have a lot of experience with surprise engagements, couples photo shoots etc. I have photographed couples over the past 5 years on the pier…

  • CLOY engagement on a rainy day

    Photographer for a CLOY engagement on a rainy day. It’s the beginning of December 2022. Nice days are rare this time of the year.

  • Engagement Iseltwald Pier

    Liam proposed marriage to Danielle on Iseltwald pier yesterday. Nice weather and before the tourists arrived in their buses. The weather forecast was fine despite the forecast earlier in the week. As I keep saying, you can’t trust the weather forecast in the Interlaken region! I got the impression that Danielle is not a big…

  • Weather Apps for Interlaken

    I have found it very difficult to predict the weather in the Interlaken and Jungfrau regions using weather apps. The lakes and mountains create local weather conditions. The forecast on the 30th September was rain. There are dark clouds over Interlaken but no rain. In Brienz, the weather is okay. (See picture.) What you cannot…
