Chapter I — Our way of seeing

Every wedding is unique,
because every story is

We don't direct every moment. We observe, with sensitivity, everything that happens naturally — the glances, the silences and the small gestures that become your most treasured memories.

We believe in honest, luminous and timeless photography and film, that gives you back exactly what you lived, with the very same emotion.

Chapter II — What we do

Ways to tell your story

From the proposal to the last dance.

01

Wedding Day

Photography and film of your whole day, from the most intimate emotions to the big moments. Delivered as a curated gallery and a cinematic wedding film.

02

Engagement Session

A walk before the big day — natural images by the lake, in the city or in the mountains, to get comfortable in front of the camera.

03

Proposals & Elopements

The beginning of an unforgettable “yes”, photographed discreetly so you only live the surprise. Intimate elopements anywhere in the Alps.

Chapter III — How we work

Every wedding has a story.
We are ready to tell it

From our equipment to the logistics of the day: this is how we make sure nothing comes between you and the memories you deserve.

✦
01 — Our equipment

Professional gear, always in duplicate

For both photography and film we carry a complete backup kit, so we never depend on a single camera, light or microphone.

Bodies
Fujifilm X-T3 and X-T4, always in duplicate
Lenses
A selection of high-end prime and zoom lenses
Backup
Spare batteries and cards for even the longest days
Delivery
Between 250 and 400 high-resolution photos, depending on the package
02 — The wedding day

How your big day unfolds with us

We arrive early, adapt to any light and only wrap up once we have everything your story needs.

−1 h

Arrival & set-up

We arrive ahead of time to set up, check light and sound, and start the day calmly.

Ceremony

Aerial views & details

We add drone footage to capture the setting whenever the location allows it.

Dinner

Warm light, crystal-clear speeches

Lighting adapted to indoor spaces and discreet microphones so not a single word is lost.

Party

Until the last dance

We follow the rhythm of the music with vibrant lighting until the energy fades.

Flight conditions — drone use depends on the weather, the location and current regulations, so we cannot guarantee flights at every wedding.

03 — After the wedding

Because a wedding can't be repeated

01

Backups on site

During the event itself, whenever the flow allows, we back up all footage to redundant storage units of more than 4 TB.

02

There's always a plan B

Both our photographer and our filmmaker always work with two cameras ready, to react instantly to every spontaneous moment and to have an immediate backup for any technical hiccup.

03

Live it today, share it today

If the pace of the day allows, we create reels and vertical content for social media so you can share moments almost in real time — without ever affecting the quality of the main coverage.

04 — Frequently asked

Questions about the day's logistics

What if it rains on the wedding day?

We adapt to the indoor space available and adjust our lighting accordingly. Rain doesn't stop the coverage — it just changes the scenery.

Do you need a space to change or store equipment?

It isn't essential, but we appreciate a discreet corner where we can leave bags and spare batteries during the day.

How long do you stay?

Our day usually lasts between 13 and 16 hours: we start with the preparations and stay until after the first dance.
