An Engagement Session in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

This engagement session took place in Lauterbrunnen, one of the most iconic valleys in Switzerland.

The couple had just gotten engaged and wanted to capture this moment exactly as it felt — quiet, meaningful, and deeply personal.

Rather than staging anything, the focus was on preserving the emotion of that chapter: the excitement, the closeness, and the calm that follows a “yes.”

We photographed their session in mid-October, which is, without exaggeration, one of the best times of the year for photos in Lauterbrunnen.

Autumn brings warm tones, golden trees, and soft light that wraps the valley in a cinematic atmosphere.

The weather was sunny and crisp, the mountains clear, and the waterfalls still flowing — creating the perfect balance between drama and intimacy.

One of the biggest advantages of choosing this period is how quiet the valley becomes. Unlike peak summer months, October offers space to slow down.

Fewer tourists mean uninterrupted moments, natural movement, and the ability to photograph without crowds in the background.

It allows couples to truly be present, rather than navigating busy paths or waiting for locations to clear.

This session is a reminder that engagement photos don’t have to be overly styled or rushed. Choosing the right season, the right timing, and allowing space for real moments is what turns photographs into memories. And in Lauterbrunnen, especially in autumn, those memories feel effortless and timeless.
