Switzerland Proposal Photography & Videography

Unforgettable Proposals Begin Here

Luxury Swiss proposal experiences in the Jungfrau Region, created through meticulous planning, local expertise, photography and filmmaking.

I don’t offer proposal shoots. I create proposal experiences.

MORE THAN A PROPOSAL …

Thoughtfully Planned. Beautifully Told.

This Is What Happens When Nothing Is Left to Chance

Planning a proposal in Switzerland from overseas comes with countless decisions. Choosing the right location. Working around the weather. Avoiding the crowds. Getting the timing exactly right.

Before you arrive in Switzerland, those decisions have already been made. You’re not wondering if you’ve chosen the right place or hoping everything goes to plan. Every detail has already been thoughtfully considered, allowing you to be completely present when the moment finally arrives.

You’re simply focused on the person standing in front of you. The proposal is only the beginning. Together, we’ll continue exploring beautiful locations in the Jungfrau Region, creating photographs and film that capture not only the proposal itself, but the excitement, relief and joy that follow.

Your photographs will remind you how it looked. Your film will take you back to how it felt.

“Planning a Swiss proposal from the United States in Switzerland felt overwhelming at first, but from our very first conversation Emma made me feel completely at ease. She genuinely cared about creating the perfect experience, not just taking beautiful photos.

Instead of feeling like we were on a photoshoot, it felt like we were simply living one of the happiest days of our lives, with Emma there to tell the story.

Choosing the full photography and videography package was one of the best decisions we made, and it was worth every penny.

Having someone with that level of local expertise made the entire experience feel effortless and incredibly special.”

Wengen & Lauterbrunnen Proposal

Wedding proposal videograper and photographer Emma Wilson from Story of Your Day with her dog above the village of Wengen in Switzerland

Hi, I’m Emma. I live in Wengen, in the heart of the Jungfrau Region.

There are proposal locations above Wengen, overlooking the Lauterbrunnen Valley, that most photographers will never find. Through years of living and working here, I’ve built local knowledge, relationships and access that allow me to create proposal experiences away from the crowds, in places that feel private and truly unforgettable.

That’s why I don’t simply photograph and film proposals in Switzerland. I help you plan them from the ground up, so that on the day, all you need to focus on is asking one question. Just see me as your ‘Proposal Co-conspirator.’

We’re the Perfect Fit If…

You want to give her the proposal she’s always imagined.

You already know what’s important to her. You’re not looking for someone to take over – you want someone who understands your vision, builds on your ideas and helps you create a proposal that’s even better than you imagined.

You appreciate that the mountains are the luxury.

You don’t believe extraordinary moments need elaborate staging. You value the beauty of the Swiss Alps and understand that the landscape itself creates an unforgettable setting for one of the most important moments of your lives.

You understand there are no shortcuts to something extraordinary.

You know that the Switzerland you’ve fallen in love with online doesn’t always reflect the reality on the ground. Rather than hoping for the best, you value someone who knows how to turn that vision into a genuine experience, bringing together the right locations, the right timing and the right conditions to create the moment you’ve imagined.

You want the proposal to become part of the experience, not the end of it.

You are not looking for five minutes followed by a quick photography session. You want to slow down, celebrate together and continue exploring, allowing the proposal to become one of the defining experiences of your time in Switzerland.

MORE THAN JUST A PROPOSAL MOMENT.

We craft experiences that are Elevated. Curated. Unforgettable.

Most people planning a proposal in SWITZERLAND don’t start by looking for a photographer.

They start by wondering how to make one of the biggest moments of their lives feel exactly as they’ve imagined it. Along the way, the same questions almost always arise.

01.

WILL IT BE EVERYTHING YOU’VE IMAGINED?

You’ve spent months thinking about this moment. Saving ideas, imagining the setting and picturing the look on her face when you ask one of the biggest questions of your life.

But planning a proposal in Switzerland, a country you’ve never visited, comes with a lot of unknowns. Is this really the right location? Will it be private? Will the timing work? Will everything come together in the way you’ve imagined?

When every detail matters, leaving it to chance rarely feels enough.

02.

SHOULD IT END THE MOMENT SHE SAYS “YES”?

For many couples, the proposal lasts only a few minutes. The question is asked, a few photographs are taken and before you know it, the moment has passed.

But after investing so much thought into creating something meaningful, should it really be over that quickly?

Perhaps the proposal shouldn’t be the end of the experience at all.

03.

HOW WILL YOU REMEMBER HOW IT FELT?

Years from now, you’ll always remember that she said “yes”. But memories naturally soften with time.

Will you remember exactly what you said? The emotion in her voice? The nervous excitement beforehand? The laughter afterwards?

There are different ways to preserve a moment. Some tell a much deeper story than others.

Turning Your Vision Into Reality Is Where Story Of Your Day Comes In.

Every Great Proposal Begins Long Before the Question Is Asked.

I help you create a proposal your partner will love, while removing the stress, uncertainty and logistics of making it happen. Through local expertise, meticulous planning, photography and filmmaking, every detail is thoughtfully considered so you can focus entirely on the moment that matters most.

This is where I live. I’m not travelling in on the day of your proposal or relying on a handful of previous visits. This is my home.

That means you benefit from genuine local knowledge, thoughtful planning, the flexibility to adapt if conditions change, and recommendations based on what’s right for your experience, not simply what’s popular online.

Every recommendation is made for one reason: to give you the best possible proposal experience, not simply the best view, allowing you to focus on one thing… asking the question.

Planning a proposal in another country involves far more than finding someone to capture the moment.

From our very first conversation, I’ll work alongside you to create an experience that’s personal to you both. Together, we’ll choose the right location, plan the timing, consider the weather, think through every detail and create contingency plans where needed.

You’ll have someone to ask questions, bounce ideas off and guide you through the entire process. Someone who knows the area, understands what’s possible and genuinely cares about creating the proposal you’ve been imagining.

By the time you arrive in Switzerland, you’re not carrying the weight of the planning or wondering if everything will come together. You’re simply ready to enjoy one of the most important moments of your life.

“What really stood out was your local knowledge and recommendations that went far beyond photography.”

After everything you’ve invested in planning one of the biggest moments of your life, I don’t believe it should begin and end with a single moment and a handful of photographs.

That’s why I don’t offer proposal shoots. I create proposal experiences.

Once you’ve asked the question, everything changes. The nerves disappear, the pressure is gone and the excitement takes over. Rather than ending our time together there, the day continues. Together, we’ll visit stunning locations, many of them away from the tourist trails, creating beautiful photographs and film while you enjoy the first few hours of your engagement.

“How involved Emma was in the planning process from day one and definitely her local knowledge and recommendations that went far beyond photography.”

Most proposals are captured through photography alone. As an internationally acclaimed wedding filmmaker and former BBC video journalist, I offer both proposal photography and filmmaking, giving you the freedom to choose photography, film or both. A photograph beautifully preserves a moment. An instant in time.

A film brings together the moments, the emotion and the people around you to tell the story of what really happened.

Whether you choose photography, film or both, my aim is always the same. To preserve your proposal in a way that feels true to your experience and allows you to revisit it for years to come.

SWITZERLAND IS PERFECT FOR PROPOSALS

Hope Isn’t a Proposal Strategy. Preparation Is.

The best proposals in Switzerland don’t happen because everything goes perfectly.

They happen because every detail has been carefully considered long before the day arrives.

From choosing the right location and the best time of day, to understanding the weather, managing crowds, creating contingency plans and knowing exactly how the proposal will unfold, I prepare everything I possibly can so that as little as possible is left to chance.

Because when you’ve spent months planning one of the biggest moments of your life, hope simply isn’t enough.

  • Breathtaking mountains that reach into the heavens
  • Sublime views that will take your breath away

WHAT SETS STORY OF YOUR DAY APART

THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE PLANNING.

Access. Expertise. Exclusivity.

THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE EXPERIENCE.

Presence. Storytelling. Trust.

From the moment we met Emma during the planning process and right through to today, it never felt like a transaction. It felt like a collaboration”

Eiger Proposal, Switzerland

I could not speak highly enough of Emma from Story Of Your Day! She helped me to arrange every step of my proposal process from idea to delivery. The experience could not have been more personal.

Most important of all is that Emma knows how to make you completely comfortable, understands you and what your preferences are and makes sure she captures the moment exactly as you dreamt it.

My review barely scratches the surface of how much Emma delivered. There is no one else to call if you’re planning a Swiss proposal!

Wedding Proposal in the Lauterbrunnen Valley and Wengen

Emma made our proposal so incredibly perfect and memorable. I genuinely could not have asked for a better photographer, pictures, or experience. Emma is very knowledgeable of Wengen and the Jungfrau Region. She knows perfect spots for fantastic backdrops, free of crowds.

Beautiful Lautebrunnen Proposal

From the very first conversation, Emma and her team made what could have been a logistical nightmare feel completely effortless. Planning a surprise proposal from overseas meant I needed someone who could handle everything on the ground, scouting locations, navigating the weather, knowing exactly where to be and when – Emma delivered on all of it without a single hitch.

What truly sets her apart is her instinct for the real moment. She wasn’t just capturing footage but telling a story. The finished film felt truly intimate and genuine.  Her knowledge of the area is also exceptional, and her warmth put us completely at ease.

If you’re planning a special day and want to have the film to remember it by, you’ll be in absolutely great hands with Emma.

01.

Let’s Talk

We’ll begin with a conversation about your plans, your partner and the kind of proposal experience you want to create.

02.

We Plan Everything Together

I’ll guide you through locations, timing, weather, privacy and logistics, carefully planning every detail before you arrive in Switzerland.

03.

Enjoy Every Moment

On the day, everything has already been thoughtfully considered. You’re not checking maps, watching the clock or wondering what happens next. You can focus entirely on asking the question. After the proposal moment the experience continues as we explore beautiful locations across the Jungfrau Region.

04.

Relive Your Story

You’ll receive Sneak Peek images on the same day, with the full gallery within five days, often sooner, and your stunning cinematic film shortly after.

Trees and a path are in the background, suggesting a quiet moment away from the bustle of drafting new proposals or refining ideas for the Proposals Page.

05.

The Story Doesn’t End Here

For some couples, the proposal is only the beginning of our journey together.

Many of the couples who first find me through a proposal later invite me to film their elopement or wedding, whether that’s here in Switzerland or somewhere else in the world.

Being trusted to capture not just the ….???? (This text cut off on pastel)

Keeping it a Secret? That’s half the fun.

I go to great lengths to ensure that your beloved doesn’t know what’s about to happen – or that I’m a photographer and videographer.

I’ll play whatever part needed to ensure my presence doesn’t give it all away. I’ve been a “tour guide.” I’ve hidden video cameras out of sight on my neighbours’ balconies. Once, our local alpine helicopter company let me borrow one of their uniforms to play the part of being on their team.

So, if you’re concerned that having a photographer present will ruin the moment, then don’t worry one bit. I’m a professional. I know how to keep myself hidden.

For me, keeping the secret is half the fun!

And if she already said “yes”…

Many engaged couples travel to Switzerland for some much-needed time together, away from the stress of planning their wedding.

Why not capture this unique and fleeting moment in your lives together with photos or a film?

They’re perfect to use for your save-the-date, a digital invite, or to include in your wedding invitation. Clients often show their engagement film at their wedding reception or create an engagement photo album for their guests to peruse.

An engagement shoot in Switzerland is something you’ll treasure forever.

All moments captured are authentic; professional editing enhances aesthetics, but no crowds or background details are removed.

Questions before the question


Proposal photography, pre-wedding photography shoots, digital invites and pregnancy announcement photography all typically start at 1800 Swiss Francs. This includes all the planning, set-up and consultations in the lead up to the event, 3 to 4 hours of photography in multiple locations, and 60 high-resolution images. Images are delivered digitally in an online gallery.

This price applies to photography in and around the Lauterbrunnen Valley including Wengen, Murren, Grindelwald as well as helicopter excursions in the areas surrounding Interlaken.

As Story Of Your Day is also a wedding videography company and is booked for weddings most peak weekends, I can only accept advance bookings at this rate for weekday shoots. Weekend sessions are available, but at a higher rate.

Videography for proposals, vow renewals and other special events start at 2500 Swiss Francs for 4 to 5 hours of filming with multiple locations. This price includes all of the consultations and planning we’ll do together in the lead-up to the event.

The result is a cinematic 1’30 film which can also be delivered in portrait format to share as an Instagram reel.

Ask about my special offers if you wish to book photography and videography together.

As with proposal photography, engagement videography sessions which occur on a weekend are available, but incur an additional fee.

My packages all include full planning, logistics, and all consultations in the weeks and months leading up to your visit to Switzerland.

Depending on what you choose, my packages either include a 1’30 film, photography with 50 high resolution images, or both.

Each of my packages are completely customizable, so, for example, you can choose to include more than one day of filming in your package or you can choose to have more images, a longer film, or multiple films.

Switzerland travel planning is also available through our in-house ‘Swiss Concierge’ service.

Yes. I’m licensed to fly drones in Switzerland, and aerials can be included in proposal films or added to photography-only sessions. If you choose to upgrade, I’ll edit a short teaser – ideal for announcing your engagement or sharing the moment with friends and family. Check my Instagram reels for past examples.

Keep in mind, flying is weather-dependent and restricted in some areas.

Yes, I specialise in LBGTQ+ wedding videography and have had the pleasure of capturing many unforgettable wedding love stories of LGBTQ+ couples.

I haven’t photographed or filmed any LGBTQ+ proposals or engagements yet, but I’d love to. Please get in touch.

You will receive a sneak peek of 20 images from your session within 12 hours of the shoot.

Your full online photography gallery will be delivered within 1 week of the photoshoot and, if you have booked a film, you can expect to receive your film shortly after.

You can choose to expedite the photography or videography edits as an extra cost.

I’m quite the ‘keeper of secrets’ when it comes to the locations I frequent. I do not share my insider knowledge of this area with anyone, not even other photographers.

This is important because it’s the only way I can be sure you will not have your special moment interrupted or have strangers looking in.

After the actual proposal, we’ll spend the rest of the shoot at various locations in the area of your choosing, and at each of them we will be on our own, without another soul in sight!

I’ll be honest—you never know exactly what you’re going to get with the weather in Switzerland.

But, whenever possible, I allow flexibility for filming and photography days so you can have the best possible chance for good weather. I live here, so it’s not difficult for me to offer that kind of flexibility. I like to say that the sun is almost always shining on the day that I film and photograph you! 

That said, it’s been my experience that even “bad weather” can make for a romantic, memorable moment (and great pictures). It can be fun to propose in the rain or the snow!

No – I professionally edit images for colour and style but never digitally remove people or objects. My local expertise means I know exactly where to go to naturally avoid crowds, ensuring genuine privacy for your special moment.

If photography is as important to you as videography for your proposal, I always recommend that you hire a dedicated photographer to work alongside me as your videographer.

Story Of Your Day has its own team of local photographers. I’m also connected to some of the best photographers in Europe. If you’re looking for photography and videography and want to have two professionals capturing the moment, I will work with you to determine the photography style you’re looking for and will share with you their portfolios.

I guarantee that you’ll be given an exclusive price that is significantly less expensive than hiring two professionals directly.

If you want to work with me alone to both film and photograph that is also possible, but we’ll need a little more time together to get the best results.

My husband, James, is a Swiss travel expert. He knows about all the best accommodation options and can help you choose. We also run an Airbnb situated in the centre of Wengen Village. It has amazing views from the balcony!

If you need full travel planning, James can plan all your logistics, hotels, trains, and excursions from the moment you arrive in Switzerland to the moment you leave, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. For more details about this service, visit the Swiss Concierge.


Yes, if you want travel planning my husband can plan all your logistics, hotels, trains, and excursions from the moment you arrive in Switzerland to the moment you leave, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience.
