Love story in Zurich // wedding photographer in Zurich // engagement portraits

It usually takes me long to update my journal with new pictures and a lot of beautiful events are still waiting their turn. With some shootings I can't just wait and post them immediately ... this was one of the coldest Sundays of this Winter ...

City walks in Zurich

I don’t know why I never showed pictures taken during the last Summer photo session with absolutely stunning Odyssia. International Women’s Day is a a good occasion to do it, I am sure :)

To get up early in the morning when the city is empty and quiet… To walk for hours in the old part of Zurich getting to know and falling in love with the city again and again.

Revival of old pictures, part 2

In fact, the pictures are not that old, taken 2 years ago, but there was always something about them that made me unsure. Now when all the stress is behind, looking through them, I love them more and more. Paris is the city of constant inspiration, and I always wanted to photograph a love story there. Something rather simple, almost minimalistic, but with chic details, something very Parisian (at least in my imagination :) It was my first experience (and actually the last) of creating a love story, kind of an editorial. It was an interesting experience and - I cooperated with a girl, whom I met at another shooting in France, a fellow photographer, we found beautiful models and dresses, talented Milia Ink created amazing invitations, our team was supported by talented hair and make up artists. We planned lots of walking, which was limited in reality due to heavy rain (it was snowing as well for about 3 minutes and sunny for another 5). So now I know that Paris in the middle of January is grey, gloomy and rainy  but still breathtakingly stunning.

Debi & Florian, engagement in Zürichhorn, Seefeld, Zurich // Wedding Photographer in Switzerland // Verlobungsshooting in Zürich, Hochzeitsfotograf Zürich

Rich colours of oleander gardens, sparkling lake and the cutest couple, this is to summarise this engagement shooting in Zurich. I met Debi and Florian to discuss their wedding plans at Zürichhorn, the recreational area with parks and gardens in the Seefeld quarter of Zurich. We walked along the lake taking in the beauty around us. It was a wonderful late May evening filled with that magical golden light that is so good for the portraits. And I should not forget to mention the oleanders, yes, we did lots of kissing portraits in the bushes! :)

One evening full of happiness at Vierwaldstättersee // Family and Portrait Film Photographer in Meggen, Canton of Lucerne, Switzerland

Last year I had an opportunity to photograph this lovely family at Vierwaldstättersee, one of the most beautiful lakes of Switzerland. The mom of this wonderful family reached out to me asking about a family portrait session in Meggen, where she spent her childhood with her parents. The Summer (as far as I remember :) was unstable last year, and we had to postpone our photo session several times, but eventually we were lucky with weather. We had a beach just for us. It was a celebration of summer, family gathering and making of the best memories. The pictures were taken on medium format film, and I must confess, I love them so much, the soft magic of film makes every single shot very intimate and authentic, presenting it as an effortless piece of art.
