Through Instagram, I received a lovely inquiry from Pragathi asking if I had time in January for a couple photography session in the city of Zurich. I absolutely love capturing couples in an urban setting from time to time. Unfortunately, I wasn’t feeling well enough to conduct the photoshoot myself. Thankfully, my dear teammate, Tamara Menzi, stepped in and photographed the beautiful couple for me, while I later edited the pictures in my style. It was a shared effort! (: I was absolutely thrilled by the creative images and the cheerful expressions of Pragathi and Kavin, who were visiting Switzerland for a few days. The photos were meant to document their time in Switzerland—a beautiful idea. Tamara met them early in the morning to capture the best light of the day and avoid the crowds in Zurich. I’m always amazed by Zurich’s stunning, impressive architecture—it’s such a vibe! Thank you, Pragathi and Kavin, for your trust, and a big thank you to Tamara for your stunning pictures.
Some helpful information for your couple photography session in Zurich
Beautiful location tips for your couple photoshoot in Zurich
How about a viewpoint overlooking the city, capturing the panoramic views of Zurich’s historic houses? Or perhaps by the river or lake? The Old Town, with its charming historical vibe, offers picturesque settings and quaint alleyways. If you’re into modern urban aesthetics, the Prime Tower could be just the right spot. Tram rides or a library setting can also provide unique backdrops.
I’m happy to help you plan the perfect location.
Here are a few more ideas for photoshoot locations.

My tips for outfits during a city photoshoot
Neutral earth tones are a perfect match for an urban backdrop, but gray, white, and black are also timeless choices that highlight you beautifully in a city setting. We can work together to decide which look suits you and your chosen location best. I also have a little “What to Wear Guide” packed with tips and tricks for you.
Weather conditions and backup plans
Worried about the weather or wondering what happens if it rains? Don’t stress! We can adapt the photoshoot as needed, moving to covered areas like arches or beautiful indoor spaces. If the weather blesses us with a clear blue sky and bright sunshine, that’s a bonus! (:
But I promise, we can create magical and creative photos even with clouds or rain.
A few suggestions for activities during the photoshoot
When it comes to what we can do during the session, the sky’s the limit! How about a fun “ice cream and flower shopping” date? Or maybe a cozy visit to a bar or café? Pictures in a museum or library can also look super cool. Whatever we decide, I’m here to capture these moments for you. I promise we’ll have fun! (: The photoshoot will be relaxed and enjoyable—I’ll do my best to make sure of that.
Timing and duration of the photography session in Zurich
If you’re wondering about the timing of your photoshoot, rest assured we’ll take the time we need to create amazing shots. I recommend early morning or late afternoon to make the most of the beautiful natural light. A typical couple shoot lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours. However, if we have particularly creative ideas or want to explore a specific location in detail, we’ll take the time we need to ensure every moment is captured without stress. (:
