Switzerland Elopement VideographY
Luxury Switzerland Elopements Designed Around Your STory
Experience-led elopements for international couples who value authenticity, privacy, meaningful experiences and trusted local guidance.
One story, told through filmmaking and photography
“I knew Emma was different the moment we spoke. Her BBC background gave her a credibility nobody else came close to. What I couldn’t have anticipated was everything else.
She fought for the venue when we were told no, negotiated extra time on the glacier, and made the yacht happen when our original plan fell through. As an American planning something this personal in a foreign country, having someone with that knowledge and those relationships changed everything.
The day went so fast it was almost overwhelming, which is exactly why the film matters so much. It transported me straight back, it captured the enormity of the place, the emotion, all of it. It wasn’t a film of what happened. It was an artful masterpiece of the experience. Emma is a creator. That’s a completely different thing from what everyone else is offering.”

THROUGH CINEMATIC STORYTELLING
Not just a memory. A feeling
Hi, I’m Emma Wilson, Creative Director of
Story Of Your Day.
Based in Wengen, at the heart of the Jungfrau Region, I help international couples create deeply personal Switzerland elopements through local expertise, thoughtful planning, and one story told through both filmmaking and photography.
Before founding Story Of Your Day, I spent more than twenty years as a BBC Pioneer Video Journalist, learning how to uncover the stories that matter most.
Today, I bring those same skills to every elopement I create.

WE’LL MAKE THE PERFECT TEAM IF…
Meaningful experiences matter more than the expectations of others
You want an elopement that feels authentic to your relationship, aligned with your values and centred on what matters most to you.
Trusted guidance is important to you
Planning from another country can feel overwhelming. You value support from someone who understands both Switzerland and the realities of bringing an experience like this to life.
How you’ll remember it matters
You want more than beautiful images. You want a story that feels true to the experience you created together.
A Switzerland elopement is about more than choosing a beautiful location.
It’s about creating an experience that feels true to who you are. Personal in its details. Meaningful to the two people at the centre of it.
Because your elopement should feel like your story.
Not somebody else’s.
The vision is often the easy part. You know it’s Switzerland. You know you want something that feels entirely your own.
Bringing that vision to life is where the uncertainty begins.
Thats where I come in.
Thoughtful planning, meaningful collaboration and one creative vision makes all the difference.
01.
Creating the Experience
Like many couples, you may already have a collection of saved images, ideas and inspiration.
What is far less obvious is where those places actually are, what they are really like, and whether they are the right fit for the experience you want to create.
Planning from another country adds another layer of complexity. The internet can show you beautiful locations, but it cannot tell you what they’re actually like to experience, how they fit together, or whether they align with the vision you have for your day.
Without local knowledge and trusted guidance, it can be difficult to know where to begin.
02.
Preserving the memories
The experience eventually becomes the memories so the next question becomes how you want to remember it long after the day itself has passed.
The film and photographs you take away will become the lasting record of everything you’ve created together. What you take home should feel every bit as personal, intentional and meaningful as the experience itself. Not just a collection of beautiful moments.
A lasting reminder of how it all felt.
03.
One Story
Creating an experience is only part of the process. The way that experience is remembered matters just as much. After investing so much thought into creating something deeply personal, the last thing you want is for your photographs and film to feel disconnected from one another. Your elopement deserves one cohesive story.
By approaching both filmmaking and photography together, every location, every decision and every moment contributes to the same story.
Not competing perspectives. One story, told intentionally.
You can find everything you need to know about planning your Switzerland elopement in our guide.
Extraordinary Views. Without The Exhaustion
One of the biggest misconceptions about eloping in Switzerland is that creating an extraordinary experience means compromising on comfort, privacy or authenticity.
The reality is quite different when local expertise shapes every decision.
Every location, every journey and every moment is thoughtfully designed around what matters most to you.
Some of the most beautiful and secluded places I know are reached by mountain railway and a short walk, private cable car, unique local transport or even helicopter. Others are only possible through trusted local relationships built over many years of living and working here in Switzerland.
Wondering How They Got There?
The answer isn’t hiking further. It’s knowing there’s another way…
Your journey should be part of the experience
This is what trusted local guidance actually looks like.
Turning that vision into reality is where Story Of Your Day comes in.
I specialise in luxury, experience-led Switzerland elopements for international couples who value authenticity, privacy, meaningful experiences and trusted local guidance. One story told through both filmmaking and photography, co-created around what matters most to you.
For many couples, the Jungfrau Region becomes the natural choice. Not because it is the most famous part of Switzerland, but because it offers the combination of mountains, lakes, villages, privacy and experiences that so many couples are searching for when they dream of Switzerland.
It’s an approach built on four principles

Before you press play, imagine what it would feel like to return to your own elopement years from now.
Not just to remember what happened. To remember how it felt.

Your Elopement Experience
01.
Let’s Meet
We start with a conversation. A chance to get to know each other, discuss your vision, and explore whether we’re the right fit.
02.
Co-Create The Experience
Together we’ll shape an elopement that reflects who you are, where you want to go, and how you want the experience to feel.
03.
Bring The Vision To Life
From locations and logistics to timelines and trusted recommendations, I’ll help bring everything together.
04.
Live The Experience
This is where all the planning disappears into the background. You focus on being present. I’ll take care of the rest.
05.
The experience eventually becomes the memories
Your films and photographs are carefully crafted to preserve not only what happened, but how it felt. Delivered through your curated online gallery, they’re always there to revisit, download, share and enjoy for years to come.
Kind Words
From planning to skiing, she thought of everything.
We planned a super last-minute intimate wedding in Wengen and Emma made the entire process seamless and stress-free. When we arrived, she guided us through the entire plan, showed us around and made us feel at home in Wengen.
The day itself was everything we had hoped for, from the ceremony through to photos in the mountains, apero and dinner. Emma and her team captured the most stunning photos and films of every moment. She even took us skiing the next day and gave us an insider tour of the mountain. We can’t recommend her enough.
Kara + Mike

We never felt like clients.
Emma, thank you for making our fairytale elopement dreams come true. You didn’t just help make our day perfect, you captured it beautifully in our film and created something far beyond anything we could have imagined. Every moment, emotion and detail was brought to life with such heart and artistry. You made us feel completely comfortable and created something we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
McKenzie + Christian
Wengen, Giessbach Falls and Petersgrat
The film transported us straight back.
Emma was absolutely incredible.
She didn’t just film and photograph our elopement, she helped plan it and made the entire day feel effortless.
Her creativity, calm energy and genuine excitement for our vision meant so much to us.
The photographs captured every emotion perfectly and watching our film wasn’t like reliving the day. It felt like being back there.
She played such a huge role in making our elopement unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to share our day with.
Julia + Matt
Wengen and Interlaken, Switzerland
Can We Bring Family And Friends?
Absolutely.
Not every elopement is just the two of you.
Many couples choose to share their experience with a small group of the people who matter most. Parents, siblings, children or a handful of close friends can all be part of your day whilst still preserving the intimacy, flexibility and personal nature of an elopement.
We often refer to these as micro weddings.
For us, a micro wedding typically involves up to around 15 guests and retains the same experience-led approach as an elopement. The focus remains on connection, meaningful experiences and creating a day that feels true to you, rather than following the structure of a traditional wedding.
The films below offer a glimpse of what that can look like.

Looking For Something Slightly Larger?
If you’re planning to celebrate with more than 15 guests, you may be looking for an intimate wedding rather than an elopement or micro wedding.
We also create intimate weddings throughout Switzerland, combining the same story-led approach with a larger guest experience.
Respecting The Places We Visit
As a Swisstainable registered business, I believe extraordinary experiences and responsible travel go hand in hand.
I work closely with local communities, suppliers and landowners, follow Leave No Trace principles, and help couples experience Switzerland in a way that respects both the landscape and the people who call it home.
Not Every Meaningful Experience Is A Wedding
Vow renewals. Significant anniversaries. Second marriages.
Milestone celebrations.
Some of the most powerful stories we document aren’t about beginning a new chapter. They’re about celebrating how far two people have already come together.
If you’re marking a moment that deserves more than dinner and a toast, this is for you.
The experience is designed around the same principles. Local expertise, thoughtful planning, and one story told through filmmaking and photography. Because the significance of the moment doesn’t change just because it isn’t a wedding.
Designing Your Elopement Experience
No two Story Of Your Day elopements are ever the same.
Some couples simply want trusted guidance. Others want support with every detail. The elements below can be combined to create an experience that feels right for you.

“Brooke and I received our full wedding film and it is amazing. Emma’s unique way of capturing the story as part of using the videos is what sets her apart.
We did a ton of research before picking our videographer and could not have chosen better. We will always have this beautiful memory of our day to look back on and could not be more thankful.
Thank you for your dedication to creating this story of our day(s)!!!”
