Maybe you haven't told a single person.

That's exactly what I help with. I'm your proposal expert photographer in Switzerland: I will help you design the moment so that you have nothing to worry about, everything happens in a seamless, natural way and you go back home with the best pictures and the memories from a perfect, premium experience.

CAPTURE YOUR PROPOSAL IN THE MOST BREATHTAKING MOUNTAINS AND VENUES IN SWITZERLAND
Imagine your proposal in the heart of the Swiss Alps or in a beautiful old town in Switzerland by a lake: experience such an important day in your lives among snow mountain peaks, turquoise lakes, and timeless traditional Swiss villages, and go back home with outstanding, premium pictures.

YOUR PROPOSAL EXPERT AND HIGH END PHOTOGRAPHER IN SWITZERLAND AND EUROPE
I'm a Switzerland-based proposal and wedding photographer since 2019, trusted by couples from the US, Singapore, Hong Kong, and beyond. I've helped plan and photograph proposals across the Swiss Alps, from quiet alpine lakes to mountain ridges with views that make people forget to breathe for a second. My work has been featured in VOGUE, TATLER and many more.
When you book with me, you're getting a local partner who's already thought through the things you haven't had to think about yet: permits, timing, weather, crowds, and how to keep a secret in a foreign country.
I take on a limited number of proposals and shoots each year, so every couple gets my full attention, clear communication, honest advice, and someone who genuinely wants this moment to be as meaningful as you're hoping it will be.

THE PROCESS
This is how your proposal planning in Switzerland will work from the first email to the day when you receive your pictures
1.First things first: you get in contact with me! You tell me the desired backdrop or location for your proposal, in Switzerland or Italy, (or what your ideal location looks like, so I can find the perfect spot for you), what things are important for you, what you need from me and as much information as possible about your stay here and your plans.
2. I come back to you with some suggestions, my brochure, and I also reply to your first questions with some location suggestions. I will also send you vendor recommendations in case you need to book a venue or decorations.
3. If you feel I am the right photographer for you, we seal the deal: I send you the contract and an invoice for the deposit. Once both things are settled, the date is locked, and we start working. We can have a phone or video call when the day gets closer should you need to discuss some stuff with me, otherwise we keep our communication through email.
4. When the date comes up, for mountain packages in Switzerland, I will do some scouting for you before the photoshoot, in order to find the perfect spot ir arrive earlier to make sure everything is the way it should be. If this is a proposal, I will be around, either hidden or pretending to do something else when you arrive. I will offer you different options to do it smoothly and so that your partner does not notice what is going on until you are showing them the ring!
5. After the proposal, we start the photoshoot, wandering the agreed mountain or town places around, or heading to the other places we might have on the list. We'll fly the drone if possible, and take some videos with the phone so that you also have some content, that I will airdrop at the end of the photoshoot!
A few weeks after, you will receive a beautiful gallery from your proposal in Switzerland with your pictures (and video if applicable)!

How to pick the right photographer in Switzerland and why am I the perfect choice for you
With plenty of options to choose from, why am I the perfect photographer for your photoshoot in Switzerland?
These are some of the typical issues you may come across when you are planning a proposal in Switzerland from across the world:
You need to commit to a location
When you are not booking a local (or someone who is not giving all for their clients) who knows its way around, it can be absolutely impossible to change locations looking for a better weather forecast (which is very important in a country where it snows and rains a lot), or even find the right one.
The packages offered may not be tailored to your needs
You want to have some content for instagram, a flower bouquet, maybe a short professional video, and of course, professional pictures, but then you would need to hire different professionals to provide you with each of these things, coordinate with all of them, etc...
There is zero flexibility in terms of schedule/date
No matter if the weather forecast is better in the afternoon, if you agreed to start in the morning, that's it. You are also usually unable to go for the day before/after if that works best in the end.
Years of experience as a proposal photographer let me know that my couples needed more, so I decided to offer something more realistic and useful, that only a local with my knowledge can, and that would make the experience and the process seamless to my couples
- A wide range of packages, extras and options, so that you can either choose an all-in package, a small one, or something in between, by just adding the extras you need and without having to pay for stuff you don't want! Starting for one hour for towns like Luzern or Zürich, and two hours for mountain locations, you can only have photography and you can add to this all the extras you wish.
- Locations are flexible and only subject to reasonable travel fees (if any) in case of a late change of heart or aiming for a more desirable weather for your elopement. I will closely check the forecast the days before so that I can offer you flexibility and alternatives if needed!
