Absolutely. And I understand the feeling very well — I am not particularly comfortable in front of the camera either. Maybe that’s one of the reasons I chose to stay behind it.
Most of the people I photograph are not used to being photographed, and you don’t need to know how to pose or what to do. I will gently guide you when needed, but I also give you space to simply be yourselves.
Whether it’s your wedding, a couple session or a family photoshoot in Switzerland, my aim is for you to feel relaxed, enjoy the experience and recognise yourselves in the photographs.
Natural, elegant and full of feeling. I love beautiful light and thoughtful composition, but I care just as much about the little things that happen in between — a look, a touch, children being themselves, laughter that wasn’t planned.
I will step in and guide you when it helps, and disappear into the background when the moment is better left alone. I want to create photographs that feel beautiful now and still feel like you many years from now.
Yes. I photograph weddings throughout Switzerland, from elegant city celebrations and lakeside weddings to countryside venues and celebrations in the Swiss Alps.
I am happy to travel wherever your wedding takes place. If I haven’t photographed at your particular venue before, that isn’t a problem — discovering a new location and finding its best light and perspectives is part of what I love about wedding photography.
Yes, absolutely. I photograph destination weddings throughout Europe and am happy to travel further for the right celebration.
If you are planning a wedding abroad, send me your date, destination and a little about what you have in mind. I love when the landscape, architecture and atmosphere of a place become part of the visual story of a wedding.
Of course. I often photograph couples and families visiting Switzerland, and I love the idea of creating something more lasting than holiday snapshots.
You can book a couple, engagement, anniversary or family photo session as part of your trip to Switzerland. Tell me where you are staying, what you would love to see and the kind of photographs you are dreaming about, and we can plan the session around your travels.
Yes. You don’t need to arrive with a location already chosen.
Perhaps you imagine mountains and a lake, an old European town, green countryside or something quiet and romantic away from the crowds. Tell me what you are drawn to, where you are staying and how far you would like to travel, and I can help you find a location that suits both your photographs and your itinerary.
This is especially helpful for couples and families visiting Switzerland for the first time.
Yes — and I promise to be discreet.
If you are planning a surprise proposal during your trip to Switzerland, I can help you think about the location, timing and light so that the moment feels natural rather than like a production.
After the proposal, we can continue with a relaxed couple session so that you come away with photographs of both the surprise itself and this very special part of your trip.
Beautiful light depends on the season, weather and location. In general, early morning and the hours towards sunset give us softer, more flattering light, but mountains and lakes can behave very differently from city locations.
Once I know your date and location, I can recommend the best timing. For weddings, I am also happy to help plan portraits around the light without making the entire wedding day revolve around photography.
We adapt.
Anyone who spends time in Switzerland knows how quickly the weather can change, particularly around the mountains. Rain, clouds and mist don’t mean that beautiful photographs are impossible — sometimes they create the most wonderful atmosphere.
For portrait and family sessions, we can discuss the options depending on the forecast and your flexibility. During a wedding, I simply work with whatever the day gives us and find the best light available.
Wear something that feels like you, just a slightly more considered version of it.
Rather than matching everyone, I usually recommend choosing colours and textures that work beautifully together. Avoid very large logos, distracting prints and anything you’ll spend the entire session adjusting or worrying about.
Once your session is booked, I’m happy to help if you’re deciding between outfits. Comfort matters too — especially when children, walking or Swiss mountain locations are involved.
Not at all. In fact, I don’t expect children to behave like little adults during a family photo session.
They can run, explore, cuddle, laugh, hide, need a snack or decide they have absolutely no interest in my camera. That’s real family life.
I’ll gently create opportunities for beautiful photographs, but I don’t want to spend the session asking your children to sit still and smile. Very often, the photographs parents love most come from the moments in between.
Then we take a break.
There is no reason to turn a family photoshoot into a stressful experience because a baby needs feeding, a toddler needs a snack or somebody simply needs five minutes with Mum or Dad.
I work around real families rather than expecting families to work around the camera. A relaxed child — and relaxed parents — will always give us better photographs than trying to force everything according to a perfect schedule.
For maternity photography, I generally recommend a stage when your pregnancy is beautifully visible but you still feel comfortable enough to enjoy the session.
For newborn photography, it’s helpful to contact me before your baby arrives so we can plan ahead while keeping the actual date flexible. Babies rarely care about our calendars.
If your baby has already arrived, please still get in touch — beautiful newborn and baby photographs are not limited to one tiny window of time.
Yes. A wedding doesn’t need to have a hundred guests to deserve beautiful photography.
I photograph full wedding days as well as intimate weddings, civil ceremonies and elopements throughout Switzerland. Small celebrations often have a wonderful closeness and give us space to create photographs that feel especially personal.
Tell me what you are planning, even if it doesn’t look like a traditional wedding day.
Yes. Switzerland is wonderfully international, and over the years I have photographed couples, families and celebrations from many different cultural backgrounds.
I love discovering the traditions that make a wedding personal. If there are ceremonies, customs, family relationships or particular moments that are especially important to you, tell me about them beforehand so I can understand their significance and photograph them thoughtfully.
Absolutely.
A portfolio shows you the photographs a photographer loves most. A complete wedding gallery shows you something equally important: consistency.
I’m happy to show you how I photograph an entire wedding day — preparations, ceremony, portraits, family, guests, details, changing light, speeches, dinner, dancing and all those unexpected little moments in between.
It’s one of the best ways to decide whether my wedding photography feels right for you.
Yes. You certainly don’t need to figure everything out yourselves.
I am happy to advise you about getting-ready coverage, couple portraits, family photographs and the best time for beautiful light. If you have a wedding planner, I’m also happy to coordinate with them.
My philosophy is simple: your wedding is not a photo shoot. Photography should fit naturally into the day and leave you plenty of time to actually experience it.
You don’t need to send me a list of standard wedding photographs. You can trust me to pay attention to the moments that make up a wedding day.
What I do want to know are the things I couldn’t possibly know myself: a grandmother who is especially important to you, a friend travelling across the world to be there, a family tradition, an heirloom or a detail with a story behind it.
Tell me about the people and things that matter. I’ll take care of the photographs.
Your photographs are carefully selected and individually edited in the style you see throughout my portfolio.
They are delivered in a beautiful private online gallery where you can view, download and share them with the people you love.
I believe photographs deserve a life beyond a screen as well, so beautiful options for prints and albums are available if you would like something tangible to keep.
Simply get in touch and tell me a little about what you are planning.
For weddings, send me your date, location or venue and anything you would like me to know about your celebration. For family, couple, maternity or travel photo sessions in Switzerland, tell me your preferred date, where you will be and who will be joining you.
And you don’t need to write a perfect inquiry. A few genuine words are enough.
