I am very lucky to be able to photograph weddings such as these. Sweet, intimate and so full of love and smiles. It also happened to be in Zürich, a city I had not visited until July. I think I’m in love with Switzerland.
Getting ready together, they were both the picture of calm…
…with a little edge of excitement.
Swiss civil ceremonies last just fifteen minutes, even when in French and English, which leaves plenty of time for tea and sightseeing on vintage trams…
There is something so special about grandparents. This lady reminded me of my own grandma and squeezed my hand and beamed when she caught my eye. She also had the cutest granddaughter who was not in the least bit fatigued by the blazing sunshine.
Thanh has a passion for all things culinary and gave everyone tiny kitchen utensils as gifts.
Isn’t she just the sweetest little thing?
After our trip to Switzerland, we’ve decided that one day we’ll move to Zürich and have lunch by the lake on Sundays with our new friends Thanh & Yvan. It’s a truly beautiful place; fresh and clean and content.
I still have a lot of editing to catch up on and a few more weddings and portraits to do before the year is out. I’m quite sad to see the autumn leaves on the ground but glad to have time to catch up on things through winter. It’s been a year of big changes, exciting challenges and huge rewards, but there’s a little more on all of that later.

Beautiful, beautiful photos Chloé! Stunning as always.. love the tram photos very much as well.

Chloe, these are so wonderful. I feel a sense of calm and warmth looking at these images. The couple is so adorable. I absolutely love the details you choose to see and capture: the back of a beautifully curly head on a tram, a little hook with a blue jacket on, an arm at 90° angle grasping the handle, an adorable little girl reaching out for her cup, warm smiles and kind gestures, especially in children and their loving, doting grandparents. You are truly awesome. All hail Caughtthelight.

You photograph so well...
Even the simple shots look so amazing and heartwarming:) -
These are lovely photographs..! And guess what? My husband, while not being Australian, also has a ]collection of guitars. At least three, but I'd rather not think about it...because I think about it because it may be more than that!
warmly,

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the little one straining for more water (it does get hot in those trams I guess).

Oh what a surprise to see our photos here! You picked a wonderful selection, though you could have hardly gone wrong as every photo you took at our wedding was just stunning! Thank you so much for taking such beautiful photos at our wedding - your wonderful talent and attention to detail resulted in a gorgeous set of photos which really captured our special day. All of your photos - the scenic shots to the intimate conversations between guests to the food photos - are so heartwarming and bring back such happy memories of our wedding. We are absolutely thrilled with your photos, not least because your style was exactly what we had envisaged. Thank you again for your amazing photography!

These photos are absolutely gorgeous Chloe! Really fresh and beautiful with bags of personality. I love the utensil favours too! You rock.

You must see life in light and love and in it’s the purest form. Such a wonderful way to present this couples wedding, you always get the tiniest of details that add to the mood and story. It’s like an entire magazine spread…..I would have loved to have my day just like this, stopped in time in this way. You are a wonderful talent!!!
-
Such lovely pictures. I adore how you have captured so many different aspects of the wedding day, not just the bride and groom. Thanh and Yvan certainly will have many happy moments to remember as a result! Bravo!! And well done!!
-
Wonderful images - such lovely story telling too.
-
Hi Chloe
Great blog you have here - puts my tardy effort to shame (note to self must try harder!). What I like most about your style is the attention that you pay to the small details that really capture the feel of the day. Also your post processing is spot on - very natural.
Cheers

Awesome work Chloe... love the way you capture a wedding! Superb storytelling...

Beautiful! I've always wanted to go to Zurich. She's cute as a button and looks like she had my dream wedding too. I want to be by the water in the sunshine!
