Pia & Christopher (Engagement Session)

This week I had the pleasure to photograph the engagement session of another fun couple. Pia & Christopher live in Germany and their wedding will take place later this year at the awesome Grand Resort Bad Ragaz in Switzerland. Although I try to make my engagement sessions fun I don’t always encourage my couples to kiss or do something specific again and again. But as Pia & Christopher were kissing during the whole photo session without any direction from my side, it looks like they really enjoy kissing :-) Another thing worth to mention is that Christopher is a really strong guy, he must work out a lot. I don’t know if it comes from his other passion, playing Golf. But whenever we had to cross a lawn to get to another location he was carrying Pia. Usually the guys do that just once, for a picture. And break down after some seconds :-) But as they told me Christopher likes to carry Pia around and that’s what they often do when they spend time together. So it was obviously no problem for him and also came all natural without any direction.

I can’t wait for this terrific wedding! Thanks for your trust and your friendship, Pia & Christopher!

Emily & Philip (Engagement Session)

I really love the mountains here in Switzerland. So it was a special pleasure for me to drive today early in the morning up to Gstaad to photograph a quick engagement session with Emily & Philip before their wedding this weekend. We were lucky enough to get half an hour of some relaxed shooting before it started to rain. Didn’t matter, we were done with shooting and spent the rest of the time to go through the details of this awesome wedding to come. As Emily & Philip come from New York City there will be a lot of guests coming from all around the world. Exciting!

I can understand that tennis is Philip’s favorite sport :-)

As it was a rainy day there was no one playing tennis. So the tennis court provided the perfect space to practice once more for the first dance.

We had a lot of fun today :-) Thanks Emily & Philip to share it with me!

My favorite shot from today’s engagement session with Muriel and Alessandro in Bern – doesn’t need more words.

Bianca & Shoibi (Engagement Session)

When it was about to decide where we are going to photograph the engagement session of Bianca and Shoibi, it was an easy question for them. It had to be on the Mainau Island in Germany. It was the place where Shoibi had proposed for her, right where we took the first picture (above). The trip to the island was a birthday surprise for Bianca and so was the ring in Shoibi’s pocket. After several minor complications he finally managed to ask the question and present the ring to her. Needless to say what Bianca’s answer was :-)

When we returned on a Monday afternoon in July, it was really hot and we got bitten by mosquitoes a lot while we wandered over the island. Nevertheless we all enjoyed the summer day in this great place and had a lot of fun. Sure this will be another awesome wedding this year!

Vanessa & Luigi (Engagement Session)

Vanessa and Luigi were a bit nervous about their engagement session. Because they thought they are not good in posing, don’t know how to “act” in front of the camera. But that’s actually not what an engagement session is about. It’s all about being yourself. Just enjoy the photo session and have fun!

And they were good at THAT, as you can see! Thanks for being my models ;-) Was great having fun with you!
