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. There are lots of different locations in the mountains that surround this Swiss Alpine resort. Locations with backdrops featuring mountains and lakes. I travelled from Interlaken on the first day and stayed overnight in Zermatt for the…
Photographer for a wedding in Zermatt in July 2024. Before the ceremony, a photo shoot on Sunnegga (2,288 m – 7,506 ft.). The Zermatt tourist office call Sunnegga a family paradise. Which it is! The families create a challenge for photographers. Keeping people out of their pictures. An early start is recommended. It was a…
Photographer for a surprise engagement on the Iseltwald pier. Ron asks Michelle to marry him. It’s the middle of the day and 30 degrees centigrade. The coolest spot must be on the pier. It’s a surprise and there is nothing I can do about the shadows on their faces. Ron remembered to keep Michelle’s back…
I was in Zermatt in the beginning of August 2023 looking for locations for a surprise engagement. There are plenty of locations to choose from with the spectacular Matterhorn mountain in the background. I wanted an area where I could have a photo shoot afterwards. A hike down a mountain trail seemed the best idea.…
A wedding on a sunny day in Zermatt in November. Olympia and Dominic posed outside the Gemeinde for some pictures with the iconic Matterhorn mountain. Afterwards they went inside to be officially married in Switzerland. (You cannot be officially married in a church in Switzerland.) After the informal ceremony the couple rode a horse carriage …
Photographer yesterday for a wedding in Zermatt with a lovely couple from Singapore. First there was the official ceremony in the Gemeinde building in Zermatt. Afterwards we travelled by taxi up to Winkelmatten. Here we had another ceremony in the Catholic church built in 1604. Afterwards, I had a slow walk down to the railway…
