Specialists in the Jungfrau REgion. Storytellers across Switzerland

Story Of Your Day Creative Director Emma Wilson  photographs elopements across the Swiss Alps, from Lake Geneva to St. Moritz.

But as specialists in the Jungfrau Region, our local knowledge runs deep. Based in Wengen, we know the best light, the hidden trails, and the quietest spots throughout Lauterbrunnen, Mürren, Grindelwald and beyond.

Whether you’re exchanging vows above the clouds or beside the still waters of Lake Brienz, we document your day with a calm, confident presence and a trained storyteller’s eye.

We offer authentic, editorial-style elopement photography across Switzerland, creating timeless images that feel personal yet extraordinary.

‘HOW TO ELOPE’ GUIDE →

Eloping is like choosing the scenic route to happily ever after

But I’m more than your photographer. I’m also your guide.

Living in Wengen year-round gives me unrivalled access to this region – not just the scenery, but the hidden spots and local experiences most visitors never discover.

Enjoy a private picnic with panoramic views over the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Sip fresh milk straight from the cow. Sample local alpine cheese. Ride through farmland on a tractor tour with a local farmer.
This isn’t a just a photoshoot it’s a chance to immerse yourself into real alpine life.
And if you’re dreaming bigger? I’ve got you covered. From helicopter landings on remote glaciers to private gondola access and luxury alpine hideaways, my network ensures your experience is unforgettable – and uniquely yours.

to happily ever after …

Photography FIRST. FILM IF YOU WANT TO RELIVE IT.

Many couples book Story Of Your Day for photography alone.

Others decide they’d love their story told through both photography and film.

Because I create both, you don’t need to choose between two different creatives with two different approaches. Everything is planned together, captured together and delivered with one consistent vision.

While many photographers offer video as a basic add-on, the films I create are carefully crafted, cinematic films that match the quality and emotion of your photography.

And because I offer both services, our combined photography and videography packages offer exceptional value without compromising on quality.

If you’d like to add a story-led film to your photography collection, you can explore the full elopement experience below.

Luxury Elopement Photography Across Switzerland & Europe

While we primarily photograph elopements in the Jungfrau region of Switzerland, we also travel across Europe for couples who want the same cinematic storytelling in destinations further afield. Lake Garda, Lake Como, and other sought-after locations offer remarkable backdrops for a story-led film that feels personal and timeless. Wherever you choose to elope, we focus on capturing something real, creating a cinematic time capsule you’ll want to revisit for years to come.

Kind Words

Our experience with Emma and Story Of Your Day was nothing short of magical. Emma went above and beyond to capture our special moments, meticulously planning every detail to perfection. What made this experience genuinely unforgettable was the way she welcomed us into her world, making us feel like we had always belonged. We didn’t just find a talented photographer and planner, we found a wonderful new friend. We couldn’t recommend Emma more highly. See you at the next event!

Emma is absolutely brilliant! She may be the fairy godmother in disguise with how much magic she was able to weave throughout the entire wedding planning and operation. We got a perfectly planned wedding, a beautiful venue, videography, photography, and a stunning appearance by the fantastic folks from the Trychler Club of Wengen (these guys were awesome), but best of all is that my wife and I feel like we got new and wonderful friends in Emma and Fabian!

“Emma made the entire experience for our elopement extremely special and the way she portrayed the video was unlimited times of reliving the experience.

It is truly priceless. She has all the connections you could ever dream of and coordinated some extraordinary moments because of that. In such a busy country full of tourists we had the utmost privacy with breathtaking views.

I cannot say enough good things about Story of Your Day. If you want to have the most intimate, special occasion and relive it as many times as you want- EMMA IS THE ONE YOU WANT!!!”

Questions before you say “I DO”

Everything you want to know before planning your elopement in Switzerland

Elopement photography in the Jungfrau Region starts from $3,500 for a half day and from $5,000 for a full day. All travel costs and planning support are included.

For bespoke quotes and availability, please get in touch.

Packages in the Jungfrau Region include planning support and consultations ahead of your time in Switzerland. Deliverables for photography only packages vary.

For full details, visit our elopement film page.  

Get in touch for availability.

Yes. Booking both with us is significantly more cost-effective than hiring separate teams.

Because we shoot both, the whole process is seamless. One story. One creative vision. One team.

Combined packages start from $10,000. Find out more about our elopement film packages.

Yes, and this is where Story Of Your Day truly stands out.

Combined film and photography packages start from 6,950 Chf. This includes planning support, 1 day of coverage, a 5 to 6 minute Story Film, and a curated gallery of professionally edited images.

For a tailored quote and to check availability, please get in touch. Find out more about our elopement film packages.

Yes. While drone is included with videography, it can also be added to any photo commission as an upgrade. I’m a fully licensed drone operator in Switzerland.

Please note: drone use depends on weather, permissions, and local restrictions.

Absolutely. I’ve had the privilege of photographing LGBTQ+ proposals, engagements, and weddings — and I’d love to capture more.

At Story Of Your Day, every love story is celebrated. You’ll be welcomed, respected, and supported throughout the entire experience.

You’ll usually receive a sneak peek of between 15 and 20  images within 24 hours of your shoot.

The full online gallery will be delivered within 8 to 10  weeks. If you’ve booked a film, that will follow shortly after.

Need your edits faster? Expedited delivery is available for both photography and film at an additional cost.

I’m protective of the secret spots I use – I don’t share them with other photographers or people who have not commissioned me to capture their elopement.

That’s how I can guarantee a quiet, uninterrupted setting for your proposal or engagement shoot.

After the proposal, we’ll head to carefully selected locations in the surrounding area, where you’ll have space to relax, soak it all in, and be photographed in total privacy.

Let’s be honest … Swiss weather can be unpredictable.

But because I live here, I build in flexibility wherever I can. This gives you the best possible chance for great light and clear skies on the day of your shoot.

That said, even moody weather works in your favour. Mist, rain, or snow can add atmosphere and emotion to your photos. Some of my favourite images have come from those unexpected moments.

No. All images are professionally edited for tone, colour, and style — but I don’t digitally remove people or objects.

Instead, I rely on expert location scouting and local knowledge to ensure we avoid the crowds naturally. The result? Authentic, uninterrupted moments captured just as they happened.

Yes  and booking both with me is far more cost-effective than hiring two separate professionals.

Photography always comes first. But if you’d love to have a short film to complement your images, I offer a combined package where I capture both. We’ll just need a little extra time to make sure nothing feels rushed.

Prefer two creatives? I can bring in a trusted local videographer or photographer from my network, depending on which role you want me to take. I’ll match you with someone whose style fits your vision — and you’ll still benefit from a streamlined, seamless experience with exclusive pricing.

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!
