REDEFINING ELOPEMENTS & WEDDING FILMS
THROUGH CINEMATIC STORYTELLING
SWITZERLAND ELOPEMENT VIDEOGRAPHER, PHOTOGRAPHER & INTIMATE WEDDINGS FILMMAKER
Story of Your Day Creative Director Emma Wilson is based in the heart of Switzerland in Wengen, an iconic part of the Jungfrau Region.
Emma is the chosen elopement videographer in Switzerland for discerning couples, like you, who wish to Elope in Switzerland and are looking for a truly unique way to relive your most treasured moments with an exceptional film.
“I grew up in the UK but after a short stay with my family in the mountains we soon realised that Wengen could become our ‘home’ and we just couldn’t leave. I am so fortunate to be living in a stunning Swiss mountain village in one of the most beautiful countries, with an abundance of awesome locations and stunning destinations for proposals, elopements and weddings and even vow renewals in the Swiss Alps.”
Emma
“Eloping is like choosing the scenic route to happily ever after”

ELOPEMENTS IN SWITZERLAND
Are you a couple seeking an elopement that truly speaks to your hearts?
An elopement is a testament to your commitment, a deliberate choice to prioritise your connection above all else. It’s about escaping the noise and expectations, and embracing a day that is exclusively yours. We wholeheartedly believe in the power of these intimate celebrations, where every detail and moment is an authentic reflection of your love story.
We understand the significance of this intimate journey and the desire for a wedding experience that revolves solely around the two of you. At Story Of Your Day, we are here to celebrate and document your love story in its purest form.
Not only that but you love nature and that is exactly where you want to share your vows with one another.
Well look at this place … we have everything right here in one tiny little country slap-bang in the centre of Europe. Within an hour, I can be skiing on the top of a mountain or chilling by a beautiful bluer than blue lake in the valley. (Not usually in the same season of course!)
And that’s why the Jungfrau Region in Switzerland is the perfect location for an Elopement or indeed a vow renewal.

STORY OF YOUR DAY
SMALL & INTIMATE WEDDINGS VIDEOGRAPHY AND PHOTOGRAPHY
So you’re not a fan of big weddings then? The expectation and the extravagance of just one day when you truly feel that a marriage should just be about you sharing your vows with just a few close friends or family who matter to you most.
And that’s great because in the wake of recent times, love has found a new way to shine with a shift towards smaller, more intimate weddings, reminding us of the true essence of love and celebration.
You might be asking yourself what’s the difference between an intimate wedding and an elopement? An intimate wedding is also know as a micro-wedding and just means there’s a few guests attending – I would usually say anything between three and twenty guests.
With my intimate knowledge of Switzerland and in particular The Jungfrau Region, I will guide you and your guests to breathtaking private locations or small intimate venues, ensuring that every moment captured on film and in images showcase the magic that only the mountains and nature can provide.
Our approach to filming is unobtrusive and discreet, we will document the moments of your day as they unfold naturally. Our goal is to create a timeless keepsake that authentically reflects your unique love story.
We can also help you plan and arrange this intimate location, bringing together some of the best local wedding suppliers in Switzerland for an overall wedding experience.

PHILOSOPHY
As Creative Director of Story Of Your Day, I want to redefine wedding films, change how they’re perceived and in doing so, offer something unique and exceptional to all my clients.
I don’t just make wedding films. I tell stories about people, places and love — and they just so happen to be getting married …
Working as a journalist and filmmaker at the BBC for over twenty years has taught me a really powerful lesson – no two stories are the same. I draw on that knowledge and experience to ensure that each and every one of my clients has a wedding film unlike any other.
There’s something quite amazing about experiencing and feeling a story and then retelling it in a unique film that brings the story back to life. As my clients, you also share the same ethos and passion.
“Everything I do is inspired by you. We’ll work closely together to tell your unique and extraordinary story.”
Emma
“THERE’S ALWAYS ROOM FOR A STORY THAT CAN TRANSPORT PEOPLE TO ANOTHER PLACE”
J.K. ROWLING, NOVELIST, FILM PRODUCER
…and that’s what we want for all our clients. To watch back their wedding film and to feel they’re in the moment all over again, to relive it and all the emotions it evokes within.
Team Emma will discreetly capture moments of the day as they unfold naturally and bring them back to life in an authentic, timeless and cinematic-styled film. For destination weddings, we usually arrive on location a day ahead of the wedding itself so we can gather footage of the surrounding area, venue and of course get to know you and your story, with a pre-wedding shoot.
With Story Of Your Day, you’re investing in an unforgettable experience and an exceptional way of remembering it.
