Surprise proposal in Grand Hotel Kronenhof, Pontresina
George and Chelsea’s surprise proposal and couple portrait session at Grand Hotel Kronenhof
When George first reached out to me about a couple’s portrait session with a surprise proposal for his girlfriend, Chelsea, I knew it had to be nothing short of magical. Their chosen location, the Grand Hotel Kronenhof i in Pontresina, Switzerland, provided the perfect backdrop for this unforgettable moment. The elegance of this five-star hotel, coupled with the scenic winter landscape, set the stage for a dreamlike experience.
A winter wonderland surprise proposal
The day began with George and Chelsea arriving at the hotel’s charming ice rink. Chelsea believed they were simply there for a romantic photo session. Little did she know, George had orchestrated a breathtaking surprise. The rink was elegantly prepared with champagne, a bouquet of fresh flowers, and a beautifully decorated stage. As they glided across the ice, I captured their joyful moments, carefully waiting for the right moment to signal the proposal.
When George finally knelt on one knee, the look of surprise and happiness on Chelsea’s face was absolutely priceless. Her “yes” echoed through the crisp air, followed by applause from a few onlookers who had gathered around the rink. The couple shared a joyful embrace, and George handed her the stunning bouquet. They celebrated with a glass of champagne, toasting to their future together. The moment was sealed with a short, blissful ice-skating session, their laughter and love shining through each photograph I took.
A Luxurious Photo Session Inside the Grand Hotel Kronenhof
Following the proposal, we moved inside the opulent Grand Hotel Kronenhof for an indoor photo shoot. The hotel’s lavish interiors, with its grand chandeliers, elegant furnishings, and magnificent architecture, provided a stunning contrast to the outdoor winter wonderland.
We took advantage of the various luxurious settings within the hotel: the grand staircase, the cozy lounge areas and the beautiful dining room. Each location offered a unique backdrop, enhancing the romantic and celebratory feel of the day.
The session inside the hotel was not just about capturing their engagement but also their individual personalities and the genuine connection they share. George and Chelsea were a delight to work with, their affection and joy making my job easy and incredibly rewarding.
Capturing Timeless Memories

The blend of the stunning location, the surprise proposal, and the subsequent portrait session at the Grand Hotel Kronenhof made for a perfect day filled with love, joy, and elegance.
