This lovely after wedding photography session with Sook Ling and David was not turning out like we have planned in the beginning haha.. The hopes were high to have a beautiful late summer day in September and take some stunning wedding photos with the beautiful Swiss Alps at the famous village Grindelwald in Switzerland. The weather had other plans and gave us a chilly and moody day instead. But this didn’t keep us from taking some lovely photos exploring the sights we got. We did take photos digital and on film too. Which I love so much. (: We did warm up a lot in between and they were lucky that they did bring their warm jackets to the photoshoot. Which I always recommend to bring layers because you never know what you will get in the Mountains of Switzerland. (:

FAQ: Wedding Photography in Grindelwald

Summer in Grindelwald is a dream for after wedding photos. The warm, golden light highlights the lush green meadows, dramatic mountain peaks, and picturesque alpine villages, creating breathtaking backdrops for your session.

While summer weather in Grindelwald is generally pleasant, it’s wise to prepare for sudden changes.
