« Wine Is The New Love » is the name I gave to this article to illustrate the love of those two lovers. We made this engagement session with Anne & Jeremy last year. In Autumn. Roughly, one year ago. The leaves were incandescent, full of colors. The nature was nature was ready to fall asleep for the winter months to come and awake for their wedding… It was not so simple. Covid has changed plans. They should got married the 4th of April and finally they cancelled. No choice.

But anyway, go back to the photos and the photo shoot. This moment was amazing. The mild temperatures for the season and the perfect weather let us enjoy the moment. I took some photographs till the sunset. And their dog just met us at the end of the photo sessions just to make me a smile! « Wine Is The New Love – Couple Shoot »

I just want to say to this couple a big thank you for their trust, even though our roads have separated. A big thank you to let me sharing those photos of their photo shoot. And a VERY BIG … CONGRATULATIONS! Thy finally go to wed the 3rd of October on the top of the mountains. I wish them all my best wishes for the wedding and their couple/family life!

Engagement Session at the Mountains

J&J chose to do their engagement session in the mountains, in the middle of winter. While there was snow… Why?

I admit that most engagement sessions, or couple photo sessions, are held in the spring, summer, or fall. But in winter, taking pictures is not common. And above all, it’s not that simple. Even if you always choose a good day, it’s cold… And when it’s cold, you usually wear a coat. Except that for the photos wearing a coat is not really sexy, even if I grant you some coats are ultra hot! So you have to agree to take off the coat for a few pictures! And on the other hand, the vegetation has slow activity. It is not lush and blooming…

Well in fact it is in all this that lies the interest to make his « engagement session in the mountains » in the middle of winter. For starters, you will never have the pictures of Mr and Mrs. EVERYBODY. Taking your photos in the winter is certainly the risk of catching a little cooling, cold (and in these Covid times we do not). But there is little chance because deep down the cold alone, in the sun will not hurt you much. So relax, you risk nothing….

Then what is more beautiful than a snowy landscape? What is wilder? What is more authentic? Honestly, for me there is little. The reflections of the water at sunset, a sky at dusk, the rays of the sun through the trees. I’m such a fan that we immortalised my pregnancy in a photoshoot, feet in the snow and eyes lost in the snowflakes. I ended up naked (or almost) under the snow and I wasn’t even cold! So you see!!

And then there’s the heart that speaks. When you’ve been playing hockey since you were a child and you’ve dedicated a part of your life, and you’ve met the love of your life on the benches of the rink, can you tell me which element you’re closest to when you shoot your photoshoot? Snow, ice… To tell the truth, originally, we looked for all the ice rinks a bit nice in French-speaking Switzerland. The ones that were open to skate on in this not-so-cold winter… And unfortunately… we didn’t find any before the lockdown and the covid… So we chose for the return of the snow for the « engagement session at the mountains » and to enjoy the last snowflakes before the thaw period.

Right, I let you look at the photos of their couple session and if you want to go discover a new snowy place with me! You write to me! Or watch my instagram !

« Cozy Winter Wedding » is the charm of a different kind of wedding through the images of an inspiration shoot. As the name suggests, I take you to experience a winter wedding in the heart of Zermatt.

First of all, it must be said that Zermatt is a true winter tale of endless pleasures. A distinguished and luxurious ski resort where Swiss families like to meet every year during the winter. Lovers like to propose to each other there. We didn’t actually go all the way to Zermatt, but you could be mistaken. It was actually at the Garden Centre Schiliger that this wedding inspiration took place. A peaceful and timeless environment allowed us to experience a moment of sharing for all the providers and happiness for our couple on the day.

Every year at this time, the Garden Center brings the Christmas spirit to life, creating a magical atmosphere. This year they chose to miniaturise Zermatt. So we are instantly transported into the long winter evenings: Mountain atmosphere and wooden chalets. It is in this spirit that the whole team has mobilised to create photos that pay tribute to the work of the garden centre. Accompanied by Mehdi, my fellow videographer, I join the rest of the team. Excitement.

Burgundy & good mood for a day after in the mountains

It is in Burgundy & in good mood for a « day after » at the mountain where I met Natalie & Florian. A young, sporty, and full of humanity couple with whom I spent a beautiful afternoon at the top of the ski area of Siviez, a small resort close to Nendaz on the area of the 4 valleys for a short walk in the conifers.

But what is a « day after »? It can also be called an after wedding session, in French « une séance photo après le mariage ». It means that we choose a place other than the one where we are married, another season possibly, a different atmosphere and even the dress style can be diverse. A wedding dress does not necessarily confine you to the only effect of immaculate whiteness! To the rock n roll attitude for example!!!

Stop talking, let’s go to the photos of Natalie & Florian, who live in Valais and who have put on leather jackets and after-skis for this unforgettable session, a little reminder of their wedding but in the middle of winter! It is the floral workshop Les Herbes Folles in Bramois that made this beautiful bouquet in Burgundy (Bordeaux for the uninitiated) with anemones and eucalyptus! A pure miracle…
