A surprise engagement in the Lauterbrunnen / Wengen region of the Bernese Alps in Switzerland. Saloni and Cieran tie the knot in spectacular scenery.

Photographer for a surprise marriage proposal in the rain overlooking Lauterbrunnen Valley. A lovely couple from Boston who were staying in a hotel in Wengen. We timed it to perfection.

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.

I met the family in Wengen and we took a few pictures by the church. I also showed them a spectacular viewpoint. It was a five minute walk to our next location under the tree. I wanted some shade from the bright sunshine. I don’t want to stop long because the children will become bored.…

A surprise engagement in the mountains above Lauterbrunnen. Another one of those days where there was low cloud everywhere. I decided to visit the location an hour before we had planned to meet.

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…

Photographer for a Surprise Engagement in Wengen. Once again everything went well including the weather. The night before the weather looked cloudy.

Family photo shoot in the Swiss Alps on a cloudy day. Rain was expected but we managed to dodge it by going to one of my favorite locations. Afterwards I suggested a ride on the cog railway. We went down to Lauterbrunnen and finished up at the Staubbach waterfall. Nicole and her family are really…
