What can I do for you?

As a wedding photographer based in Switzerland, I specialize in capturing love in all its forms. From luxurious, big weddings full of events, to intimate civil ceremonies, destination weddings and romantic elopements in Swiss Alps. Whether it’s braving hours in the snow, hiking to remote mountain peaks, or flying in a helicopter to reach that perfect spot, I’m all in!

Capturing the heart and soul of your wedding day!

Candid photos. Because moments matter.

Every image tells a story about the loving couple and the uniqe feelings they share.

A nervous glance.

Your sisters’ expressions when they saw you in your white dress for the first time.

. Your dad hugging you after the ceremony. The adoration that’s written on your faces when time stands still during your first dance.

It’s all about finding those intimate moments that make you cry, and laugh, and cry again!

Kind words

Helena photographed our elopement and we couldn’t have dreamed of a better outcome! Right away she had many suggestions to help me with the planning, including hair and makeup, florals, as well as many locations and ideas for our elopement photos. She was very kind and responsive, easy to communicate with and her photography is truly amazing. She is very passionate about her work and it was a pleasure to have her capture our day.

Alexandra & Jeremy

Helena was an absolute dream to work with. We hired her to photograph our wedding in Switzerland, and we are overjoyed with the photos she captured of our big day. She is so creative, thoughtful, and talented. If you want a photographer who can understand your ideas and visions and bring them to life in a way that exceeds your every expectation- don’t hesitate to hire her. Not only is she an amazing photographer but also a very kind and patient person. We are so thankful!

Celine & Tom

We are speechless, there are no words to describe the magnificent photography that Helena produces. She is cordial, professional and a lot of fun to work with. We had the honour of having her photograph our wedding this past weekend! Thank you again Helena

To be your calm in the chaos

Large weddings are fast-paced, emotional, and full of moving parts, and I feel completely at home in that energy. My experience allows me to stay calm, organised, and fully present no matter how complex the day becomes.

No matter how many people are there to celebrate with you, or how few, I’d be honoured to tell your story through my lenses. Small and intimate, civil and simple, heartfelt and real… I’m here for it all.

Let’s capture the moments that matter to you, exactly as they are.
