Together, we blend our passions to capture your most cherished moments through timeless images and cinematic films, ensuring every love story is told with authenticity, care, and artistry.

Hi, I am Bella Heim.




Born in the bustling cityscape of Hong Kong, and grew up in Australia, I now find myself nestled amidst the breathtaking vistas of Switzerland, living my dream of immortalizing love and companionship through my lens.


My photography journey isn’t just a chase of passion, but a heartfelt endeavor to be a companion to lovebirds on their journey of togetherness.


Though my adventures initially led me to nurturing young minds as a kindergarten teacher, and later, exploring the skies as a cabin crew member, my heart always found its melody in the profound yet simple language of love that every couple shares.


It’s not about staged smiles or posed perfection; it’s about the genuine giggles, the soft whispers, and the comforting silences that speak volumes.


Now, while many photographers describe themselves as storytellers, I like to think of myself as someone who joins you in creating and cherishing beautiful beginnings.


Especially when it comes to proposal and couples photography, my heart finds joy in being part of that wonderful moment when two hearts decide to walk life’s journey hand in hand. Every shared laughter, every tender gaze, and every promising promise is a chapter in the beautiful narrative of your love, and I’m here to ensure none of those fade away with time.


Being a wife and a mum of three beautiful souls, the essence of love and bond shared between individuals is something I relate to, both professionally and personally.


Each day is a revelation, a new story unfolding, teaching me the depths of love, patience, and the joy found in the mundane yet precious moments of life. It’s a journey that not only nurtures me as a wife and a mother but enriches my perspective as a photographer, adding a touch of warmth and genuine care in every interaction I have with the amazing couples I get to work with.


Now settled in the serene lap of Switzerland, every day is an opportunity to meet beautiful souls, learn new love languages, and be a part of stories that are as unique as the stars in the sky.


So, as you step into this beautiful phase of love and companionship, I’m here, not just as a photographer, but as a friend who’s thrilled to celebrate, capture, and cherish these beautiful moments with you. Each couple brings a new shade of love, a new tale of companionship, and I am here to ensure that the essence of ‘you’ shines through every image.


Your love story is not just another project; it’s a journey I am honored to be a part of.


So, are you ready to make some timeless memories together?

"Bella recently helped us with a surprise proposal and photo shoot in Switzerland, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! From the start, Bella was incredibly nice and friendly during the planning process, making it feel comfortable and enjoyable. On top of that, as a fellow Hong Kong-er, Bella gave me a lot of confidence in making me and my fiancé's wish come true.


Her attention to detail was impressive. She took the time to double-check every aspect of the surprise proposal, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. Bella's ability to act and engage with the moment helped create a genuine atmosphere that made the proposal truly special.


As a photographer, Bella excels at giving simple and fun instructions, which made it easy for us to feel relaxed and authentic in front of the camera. The photos she captured are nothing short of amazing—they beautifully reflect our natural expressions and the joy of the day.


Overall, I highly recommend Bella for any photography needs, especially for special moments like proposals. Her talent, professionalism, and warm personality made our engagement unforgettable!"

"To start off , words cannot express how much of a pleasure it is to work with Bella.


She is truly a master of her craft.


Trying to coordinate a surprise engagement in Switzerland for me was quite a task to take on , until I came across Bella. After my first contact with her, I knew immediately that I wanted to proceed and work with her. Communication is a 11/10.


She is there every step of the way to ensure all bases are covered. She holds a wealth of knowledge of Switzerland and beyond, and certainly uses that to turn your dream engagement into reality.


Working with Bella during the engagement was an absolute blast. She has a unique style and approach, allowing her to be able to capture everything, the emotions , the scenery, every aspect of the engagement, in its raw, natural state.


It was nothing less than perfect. I would work with her 1000x over after this experience and highly recommend anyone considering a Swiss proposal to look no further."

"This was my first time ever going through the process to hire a photographer, much less to try and hire one in a foreign country to plan a surprise engagement photoshoot. Bella was incredible. I couldn't have asked for anything more. She was very responsive and detailed throughout the lead up and setting the plan. She took the time to have multiple, thorough video chats discussing everything from timing, to location, to clothing choices, to little things to remember when the moment came. The entire process made me feel extremely comfortable.


When the time finally came, we had a tight window to get it done and done right. We had planned for Tuesday, with Wednesday as a backup plan, however the weather wasn't cooperating with either day. Bella was able to (1) be flexible enough to move everything up to Monday; (2) find a beautiful alternate location for the surprise proposal; and (3) be able to communicate the new plan and have it go off without a hitch. I can't say enough about how great she was to work with.


During the photoshoot, she made both myself and my fiance feel very comfortable. We both were worried we would feel awkward posing for a shoot, but with her approach, there was none of that whatsoever. She let us have our own time after the proposal happened to just be with each other, which we really appreciated. It is obvious that she is thoughtful and caring, understands the moment, and is grateful to be a part of it. Then, of course, her work speaks for itself. We got our pictures submitted to us just a few days after the shoot and are so so happy with them. I couldn't imagine going through this process with any other photographer. I would recommend Bella to anyone who is lucky enough to get to work with her to capture a special moment!"
