This engagement photography session with Flurina and Emanuel in the Swiss Alps was so refreshing for my creative soul. They booked an 3 hour adventure photography session and we explored the Swiss Bernina Pass together for their engagement. They even booked a Swiss mountain hotel (Bernina Hospiz) to make a little date get away weekend out of it. This place is reachable by car or by train which I think is so cool! As I did my yearly hiking holidays in the beautiful canton of Graubünden I only had a 30 minutes drive which was amazing and breathtaking at the same time. Flurina and me have been some kind of instagram friends for some years now so it was just so fun to see each other finally in person and chat about all the things together. (: We share so much little passions like listen to the music of Amistat. So we put on this music and explored the Bernina Pass together. Taking pictures every now and then and just sharing life together. One of our goal of the day was to take pictures at a beautiful larch forest but we got disappointed because the wind did blow all away too soon unfortunately. After a little shock we did adapt to it and eventually found 2 little trees who were still orange haha. As we arrived at the train station we needed to wait for the Bernina Express and took some cinematic photos there as well. I love unusual locations like this. It’s so fun to be creative together in the dark too! Thanks guys for having me, it was so much fun!

What to Wear for Your Engagement Photoshoot

When it comes to choosing outfits for your photoshoot, I’ll provide a personalized “What to Wear” guide packed with tips to help you feel confident and look amazing. For a shoot at the Bernina Pass, layers are essential. Cozy sweaters, scarves, and neutral or muted-colored jackets complement the natural beauty of the mountains. Comfortable boots are a must for exploring the rugged terrain, and thermal layers will keep you warm. I’ll also bring hot tea to ensure you stay cozy and comfortable throughout the session. Accessories like gloves and hats can add charm to your photos while keeping you warm during the shoot.

Weather and Backup Plans

Weather in the Swiss Alps can be unpredictable, but that’s part of what makes the Bernina Pass so magical. If we encounter clouds or snow, it will add drama and romance to your photos. Should the weather take a harsher turn, we’ll adapt by finding sheltered spots or taking advantage of indoor locations in nearby mountain lodges. Clear skies and golden light are always a bonus, but even moody alpine weather creates a unique atmosphere that makes your engagement session unforgettable.

Fun Activities for Engagement Photography Session in Switzerland

Your engagement photoshoot should feel like a joyful adventure. The Bernina Pass offers plenty of opportunities for fun, whether you’re exploring alpine trails, enjoying a picnic with a view, or simply embracing the quiet beauty of the mountains together.

Timing and Duration of Your Engagement Photoshoot
