The Swiss Alps are breathtakingly gorgeous but they’re also unpredictable and constantly changing. That’s part of what makes them so special. After years of photographing surprise proposals, couples, families and intimate moments in Zermatt, I’ve learned that every type of weather has its beauty.

Zermatt has always been a place that feels a little magical. But to ACOTAR fans, the mountain skyline, glowing evenings, car-free village and winding street full of shops and happy people, bring to mind a very specific place from the books: Velaris, the City of Starlight.

Whether you’re looking for the perfect European destination to get engaged or you already have a trip to Zermatt on the books, hiring a professional engagement photographer can make all the difference! Here's my recommendation of why, how and where to do your proposal in Zermatt.
