FAQ
What is the best time for photos in St. Moritz?
The best light is usually early morning or late afternoon, depending on the season and location. I help you choose a time that works both visually and logistically.
Can you help me choose the proposal location?
Yes. I can suggest locations based on privacy, view, accessibility, light and weather. Some couples prefer iconic lake views while others want something more discreet and intimate.
Do you photograph surprise proposals discreetly?
Yes. For surprise proposals, I usually stay hidden or appear as a tourist/landscape photographer until the moment happens. After the proposal we continue with relaxed portraits.
What should we wear?
Neutral, elegant and well-fitted outfits usually work best. Textures and layers matter a lot. Sunglasses, scarves, gloves and subtle accessories can add personality and a stronger feeling to the images.
What happens if the weather is bad?
In the mountains, weather can change quickly. We can adjust the timing, choose a more protected location or use the atmosphere creatively. For proposals I always recommend having a backup idea.
When do we receive the photos?
You receive a carefully edited online gallery within 5-7 days after the session. Faster delivery may be available depending on the date and workload.
Planning more than the proposal?
If St. Moritz becomes part of your wedding story too, I also photograph intimate weddings and alpine celebrations with the same calm, editorial approach.
