Cindy was such a pleasure to work with on my surprise wedding proposal in the Interlaken area! I contacted her on pretty short notice and heard back right away. She quickly met with me on video chat to learn a bit about us and to get the details of exactly what I was looking for. Within a day or two she had already come back with an entire plan and a stunning location picked out. She really made the entire process so seamless and enjoyable. As the day got closer she reached back out with a few picture examples of the location so I could pick out the exact spot to propose. She even chatted with me in the days approaching, monitoring the weather and had a backup plan and location just in case the weather didn’t cooperate(luckily it did!). Her responses were very timely and she took care of all the details. On the day of the proposal she was already there waiting for us as we made our way to the spot I chose. She did a great job “hiding” and acting as a “tourist taking pictures” so as to ensure the entire moment stayed a surprise. She captured the moment perfectly and the pictures turned out exactly as I imagined. After the proposal she took her time to talk with us and do a photo shoot with all different scenery and all of the pictures are just wonderful. We couldn’t be any more happy with how everything turned out. Thanks to Cindy we have amazing pictures to always remind us of this amazing moment. Dave & Alexis
Cindy not only planned the wedding of our dreams – a destination venue outside of Interlaken but captured the best moments of the day beautifully. The entire day was perfect, magical, and stress-free because of her. These pictures she took are gorgeous and will be wonderful reminder for years of come of our amazing wedding adventure in Switzerland. She was also quick in returning the images… by the time we got back from our honeymoon we were able to relive the day all over again with the pictures. Melissa & John

We spent a really enjoyable morning with Cindy around Interlaken at a couple of lovely spots that really highlights the beauty of Swiss nature. Cindy is very friendly, experienced and made it easy and fun for us to pose together in a variety of beautiful locations. It was a really unique experience and felt like an adventure as we hopped in and out of the car to find various scenic spots.
She also sent the full files and photos to us within an incredibly short span of time and we really love how they turned out! It really highlighted the gorgeous scenery, nature and kept us looking and feeling natural, happy and like ourselves.
Hundred percent would recommend for great value, quality and just an overall fun time. Rui Si Lim
