What they offer

Good to know

What does your wedding package include?

A personal get-to-know-you meeting, a get-to-know-you shoot depending on the package, photographic coverage of your wedding day, and professional editing and retouching. With my larger packages, two photographers accompany you. You'll receive the finished pictures in a personal online gallery with handy features for selecting, marking and sharing.

How far in advance should we contact you?

Ideally as early as possible. But as long as your wedding date is still free, short-notice bookings are possible too.

Do you photograph more than one wedding per day?

No. I only photograph one wedding per day and reserve that day entirely for you.

Do you take bookings outside your area?

Yes. I photograph weddings throughout Switzerland and internationally.

What is the travel surcharge?

Travel costs are calculated individually according to the venue and the journey. Depending on the location, I travel by car, train or plane. The costs are, of course, discussed openly before you book.

Do you use special or innovative techniques?

My style is modern and creative, and I love experimenting with perspectives, light, movement and unusual angles. As well as the big moments, I place great importance on the details, emotions and spontaneous moments that make your wedding day unique.

What equipment do you use?

I work with professional high-end equipment from Sony, along with high-quality lenses, flash and lighting systems. For key moments, I work with redundancy, using several cameras and the appropriate backup equipment.

Do you have a way to share the photos online?

Yes. You'll receive a personal online gallery where you can view, download and select your pictures and share them with family and friends. Pictures can also be marked or hidden before you pass the gallery on.

How long does it take to deliver the finished product?

Depending on the season and my workload, delivery usually takes between one and three weeks. If, exceptionally, this isn't possible, I'll let you know clearly at the time of booking.

Do you deliver all original photos?

I only deliver the pictures I have professionally selected and edited, as high-resolution JPEG files. Unedited RAW files are not handed over.

Do you work alone or with a team of professionals?

Depending on the package you book, I photograph your wedding on my own or together with a second professional photographer. A second photographer is included in the larger packages. I also work with a professional videographer, who can be booked separately on request. In that case, we cover your wedding day as a well-practised photo and video team.

Do you have staff to step in if needed?

For such an exceptional case, I have a network of professional photographers and would do everything I can to arrange a suitable replacement. Fortunately, this has never been necessary so far.

Do you keep all publication rights to the wedding photos?

As the photographer, I retain the copyright. The couple receive comprehensive private usage rights to the delivered pictures and are, of course, free to share and publish them. Commercial use or passing the pictures on to businesses is subject to prior agreement. I only publish pictures of the couple in my own portfolio or on my social media channels with their approval.

Do you charge by the hour or a flat rate per event?

For weddings, I work with transparent flat rates that include all the services discussed in advance. The exact scope is set out in the contract before booking. Additional hours are charged separately at the agreed hourly rate.

Would you be willing to work extra hours if needed?

Yes, of course. If the schedule shifts on the wedding day or you spontaneously decide you'd like me to stay longer, my time can be extended where possible. The terms for additional hours are already set out in the contract.

How does payment work?

Payment is easy by bank transfer or TWINT.

How do you work?

My way of working is open, relaxed and flexible. It's important to me that you feel comfortable in front of the camera and can enjoy your wedding day. At the right moments I stay discreetly in the background, but I'm just as ready to interact when a little support, direction or a bit of humour is called for. I adapt quickly to situations, people and the flow of the day. My aim is natural, emotional and modern pictures – without your wedding day feeling like one long photo shoot.
