It was a surprise for Leyla. I wondered what was happening when Alex introduced me to Leyla. Apparently she had seen some…

David proposed to Paige in the Swiss Alps in the middle of November. The weather behaved itself and everything went according to plan. I have done a lot of engagements and will usually anticipate any problems in advance. The weather can be hard to predict in the mountains. Lauterbrunnen is in a valley created by…

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…

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.…
