Working with Bella has been nothing short of an amazing experience to help my fiancée and I capture memories of a lifetime.
Bella’s work isn’t just stunning, it’s an art that you can feel her pour her heart into. Bella crafts an entire experience for you, creating something engaging and works together with you before, during, and even after the shoot to really understand you and your partner, before capturing it on print.
Bella even goes the extra mile to consider what you (and your partner!) might need logistically to make that day extra perfect. :)
If you’re ever finding yourself in need of someone to help capture real, authentic moments, Bella’s one of the best. It’s really hard to describe in mere words what Bella can do, you need to experience it to believe it for yourself.

Bella's work goes far beyond from the photos and videos
(which are profoundly amazing), we would rate 10 stars if we could. She helped me arrange a surprise proposal from scratch, giving me an array of options and ideas to make it as special as possible. During the moment she made my partner and me comfortable, happy and excited, that translated to the most beautiful pictures we have of one another.
Bella made the proposal a success and a memory we both will never forget. I'm extremely thankful I found her work while browsing through Google. If you are ever in Switzerland and need to arrange a proposal, don't hesitate to contact Bella.

I absolutely adore Bella’s professionalism!!
The moment I read her first email response to my inquiry, my nerves unraveled. She is beyond personable and will not censor her excitement on working with you on whatever special project you may need her for.
Her empathy really reflects in your conversations and with every exchanging of words my nervousness and anxiety chipped away and my confidence and enthusiasm built up in its place. I flew from the states to visit Switzerland with novice experience in traveling within the EU; however with her guidance and attention to the tinniest of details, she guided me to a small town 1 hour from Zürich to the exact spot she promised. And without ever meeting her, played her part perfectly in capturing my proposal! She is not only a superb photographer but also a super duper human-being. Thank you Bella a million times over!

Thank you to Bella for making my proposal an incredible and memorable experience!
Bella is the definition of a professional, talented, and caring photographer.
She took the time to learn about me and my fiancé to give us a unique and personal experience. After speaking with Bella during our first call I knew I had found the person I could trust to help me create an unforgettable proposal. She created a great plan on how to surprise my fiancé and went through every detail from what to wear to which knee to kneel with to capture the moment perfectly!
During the proposal and photo session, she made both of us feel very comfortable and made the entire experience so much fun. We could not stop grinning and laughing! The photos she took truly captured our happiness and how excited we are to be engaged. We'll be able to look back at these photos and not only remember what a wonderful day it was, but relive the moments we shared that day.
A massive thank you to Bella from Caitlin and Christian for giving us an amazing experience we'll cherish forever!

I stumbled upon Bella's website during my quest for a photographer in Switzerland to capture my proposal. We feel incredibly fortunate to have discovered her, as she has been absolutely amazing throughout the entire journey. This was my first visit to Switzerland, and Bella's hospitality and thoughtful suggestions for proposal ideas made the experience unforgettable.
On the actual day, she skillfully captured the most beautiful photos and videos, and, most importantly, my fiancee absolutely loved it! If you're contemplating whether to hire Bella, don't hesitate any longer—trust me, she is the perfect photographer for your special moments.

Bella is simply incredible, she made every moment more special and unique.
I didn't really know how I was going to make the proposal to my girlfriend, but she reassured me at all times and made sure everything was perfect. We don't speak German and our English isn't great either and Bella made it work, even with the language barrier. I recommend her and if you have the opportunity, hire her to record your moments, she will make everything more special!

We had the most phenomenal experience with Bella!
My fiance planned a surprise proposal on Mount Rigi in Lucerne, Switzerland (which Bella recommended) with Bella as our photographer. The way she captured us from beginning to end exceeded our expectations. She was very professional, personable, talented, and genuinely engaged throughout the session. She even had my fiance and I connect throughout the session to create some authentic and candid photos. We had SO much fun!
We received our photos back in a very timely manner and could not recommend anyone better in Switzerland.

Bella was incredibly helpful. She shared valuable insights and advice on how to plan the perfect proposal, ensuring that every detail was taken care of.
On the big day, Bella and Matthias showed incredible professionalism. They arrived early to check the weather conditions and find the best location for the photo shoot. Despite the rain, they quickly discovered a higher spot where it was snowing. It was like a hidden gem that created a truly magical and picturesque backdrop for our special moment. We were beyond fortunate to have found such a perfect setting! They made sure everything was set up and ready before we arrived, alleviating any stress or worries we had.
During the photoshoot, we had an incredible time. The proposal went smoothly, and Bella captured every heartfelt moment flawlessly. When we received the final photos and video, we were absolutely delighted. They exceeded our expectations and perfectly captured the happiness and love we felt during that unforgettable day. We are incredibly grateful to Bella for providing such a wonderful experience, and we look forward to keeping in touch with her in the future!

I had a great experience with Bella who helped to plan, photograph, and video a surprise proposal for my girlfriend! She was very enthusiastic and helpful during the planning process, even giving detailed tips for the important moments. Thanks to her, we had a beautiful proposal in Park Villette, and the whole experience was very comfortable and fun. We love the photos and video which were very tasteful and captured our most cherished moments :)

I couldn't be happier with the incredible experience I had with Bella as our surprise proposal photographer!
From the very first moment, she treated us with so much care and commitment, responding quickly to every message, listening carefully to all my ideas and concerns, and ensuring that every detail of the proposal was exactly what we envisioned. It was clear that it's beyond just a business to her.
Her professionalism was outstanding! She scouted out the perfect spot for the proposal, taking into account lighting, scenery, and the best time of day for capturing stunning photos. She even helped suggest the perfect outfit to complement the setting, which was so thoughtful. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she went above and beyond to ensure that everything remained a complete surprise for my fiancé.
On top of that, she is such an amazing person! She created a positive, relaxed atmosphere right from the start, which made both of us feel instantly comfortable. My fiancé, who initially felt a bit stressed due to the camera, was able to relax and just enjoy the moment thanks to her warm personality.
The entire photo session was a joy. We laughed, had fun, and felt completely at ease. Bella made the experience not only memorable but incredibly enjoyable, and the photos turned out more beautiful than we could have ever imagined.
