Proposal at Grand Hotel Kronenhof, Pontresina
A Perfect Surprise Proposal in Engadin: Gwee and Joyce’s Love Story at Grand Hotel Kronenhof
October in St. Moritz is truly magical. The golden hues of autumn blanket the Engadin Valley, and the air is crisp yet inviting. Against this vibrant backdrop, Gwee planned the ultimate surprise for the love of his life, Joyce. With help from the amazing staff at the Grand Hotel Kronenhof in Pontresina, Gwee orchestrated a proposal that Joyce would never forget.
The Proposal: A Dreamy Rooftop Moment
Gwee wanted a location that embodied elegance, intimacy, and breathtaking beauty, and he found it atop the Grand Hotel Kronenhof. With panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys bathed in the golden glow of autumn, the rooftop was the perfect spot. The air was filled with a gentle anticipation as Joyce, unsuspecting, stepped out onto the rooftop, taking in the views.
Gwee, nervous yet smiling, got down on one knee, and Joyce’s face lit up with joy. The proposal felt like a dream—intimate and filled with so much love. And, of course, she said yes! It was a truly heartwarming moment, with laughter and happy tears.
Capturing the Moment: A Portrait Session to Remember
With the “yes” still ringing in the air, Gwee and Joyce moved on to a portrait session that celebrated their love. The hotel’s interior provided the perfect contrast to the natural beauty outside, with its classic and luxurious charm offering a timeless touch.
The session began in their suite, where the balcony offered a private view of the mesmerizing autumn landscape. Joyce and Gwee looked out over the valley, wrapped in the warmth of their shared moment. Their happiness radiated, and it was beautifully reflected in the serene, golden hues of the trees and mountains beyond.
Next, they moved to Salon Bleu, an iconic room adorned with grand mirrors, opulent drapery, and intricate details. The grandeur of the room set a regal tone, adding elegance to every shot. The photos captured their connection perfectly—playful yet elegant, cheerful yet deeply heartfelt.
The final stop was the hotel’s cigar room, an intimate, cozy space that added a unique flair to their session. With its wood-paneled walls and luxurious leather armchairs, it brought a warm, classic feel to the photos. The subdued lighting in the room, combined with the amber glow from the autumn afternoon outside, added depth and contrast to the images, making each shot feel like a treasured memory.
