THROUGH CINEMATIC STORYTELLING

Not just a memory.  A feeling

IMAGINE BEING
THERE AGAIN

Your wedding isn’t a film set.

It’s one of the few days in your life when everyone you love is together in one place.

You deserve to experience every moment without thinking about the camera, trusting that everything that matters is being preserved.

Because years from now, your film shouldn’t just remind you what happened.

It should take you back to how it felt.

THE BEST MOMENTS HAPPEN WHEN YOU’RE NOT THINKING ABOUT THE CAMERA.

“She wasn’t just a videographer; she truly became part of our celebration…

From the very beginning, Emma went above and beyond to ensure that every important moment, and all the little ones in between, were captured with such artistry and care.

One of the things that made her so special was her commitment to capturing the story of our wedding weekend, not just the ceremony and reception. She joined us on our group hike in the mountains of Zermatt and our welcome party, seamlessly blending into the festivities and documenting the joy, laughter and excitement as all of our loved ones came together to celebrate.

On the wedding day itself, she made us feel truly present in each moment. Often, we would forget the camera was even there. Our guests even commented on how warm and fun she was; she interacted with everyone so gracefully that it felt like she was part of the family.

The films didn’t just show what happened; they told the story of who we are, what the weekend meant to us and what the day felt like: total joy, happiness and love.”

THE STORY BEHIND STORY OF YOUR DAY

A woman holding a camera stands on a grassy path in Switzerland with a mountainous valley in the background.

Hi, I’m Emma.  I believe the best wedding films begin with the experience itself.

That’s why every decision I make starts with your wedding, not the film.

You should be able to experience it fully, knowing I’m there to preserve it without taking over.

I specialise in luxury, experience-led celebrations for couples who value authenticity, meaningful experiences and timeless storytelling. Through genuine collaboration and an unobtrusive approach, I create films that preserve not only what happened, but how it felt.

Story Of Your Day is built on the belief that no two stories are the same. That’s why I approach every wedding with curiosity and take the time to understand what matters most to you.

The result isn’t a film built around a formula or the latest trend. It’s a story shaped around your wedding, allowing you to return to one of the most important days of your life for years to come.

WE SHARE THE SAME VISION WHEN…

You believe your wedding should be experienced, not directed.

You want to be fully present with the people you love, trusting that the moments worth remembering will be captured without constantly being asked to repeat, perform or pause for the camera.

You don’t want a wedding film that looks like everyone else’s.

You’re not looking for a formula, a trend or a collection of beautiful shots set to music. You understand that no two weddings are the same, so no two films should be either. You want a film shaped by your story, not someone else’s template.

You want genuine local knowledge with an international perspective.

You value working with someone who truly knows Switzerland, but also understands the expectations and experience of an international destination wedding. Someone who can work seamlessly with your planner and creative team while bringing local knowledge, trusted connections and insight when it matters.

You appreciate a collaborative approach.

You value building relationships, not simply booking suppliers. You understand that trust, communication and genuine collaboration between your planner, photographer, filmmaker and wider creative team create a smoother, more enjoyable experience for everyone, especially you.

YOU’VE CHOSEN SWITZERLAND. WHAT COMES NEXT MATTERS.

Choosing Switzerland may have been the easy part.

But bringing your wedding here means making important choices from another country. Who do you trust? Who understands the kind of celebration you’re creating? And when it comes to choosing the person who will preserve it, do you look locally or bring someone with you?

Then there’s the wedding itself.

You’ve invested so much in bringing the right people together, in an extraordinary place, for an experience that will happen only once. How it is captured shouldn’t change the very thing you came here to experience.

And when it’s over, what remains should feel like your wedding, not somebody else’s interpretation of what a luxury wedding in Switzerland is supposed to look like.

That’s where I come in.

01.

THE BEST OF
BOTH WORLDS

When you’re bringing your wedding to Switzerland, you shouldn’t have to choose between someone who understands the international wedding world and someone who genuinely knows the country you’ve chosen to celebrate in.

I’m a British filmmaker based in Switzerland, with more than two decades of storytelling experience and a career filming weddings around the world. I also live and work here, with an established network of planners, venues and creative partners across the country.

Whether you already have your team in place or you’re still putting the pieces together, you have someone here who understands both.

International perspective. Genuine local knowledge.

02.

YOUR WEDDING. NOT A PRODUCTION.

You didn’t bring everyone you love to Switzerland to spend your wedding day creating content for the people you hired to capture it.

You want beautiful film and photography. But you also want to be there. To have the conversations, experience the moments and enjoy everything you’ve spent so long creating.

That’s why the wedding always comes first.

I prepare thoroughly and work collaboratively with your planner, photographer and creative team so that, when the day arrives, the filmmaking can work around what is actually happening rather than constantly interrupting it.

You experience your wedding. I preserve it.

03.

YOUR STORY. AS IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

When the wedding is allowed to unfold naturally, there is something real to tell afterwards.

A Story Of Your Day wedding film isn’t a highlight reel or a beautiful collection of shots built around the latest trend. It is shaped by what actually happened. The people. The relationships. The voices, conversations, emotion and atmosphere that made the wedding yours.

Every wedding I film is individual. Never a replica. Never a formula.
Because years from now, your film should do more than show you what your wedding looked like.

It should take you back to how it felt.

YOUR WEDDING EXPERIENCE IS WHERE THE STORY BEGINS.

I work with discerning couples choosing Switzerland for their destination wedding, bringing together genuine local knowledge and connections, international wedding experience and more than two decades of storytelling expertise.

The wedding always comes first. I believe that you should be able to experience it fully, knowing I’m there to capture it without taking over, and to create a film that can take you back to how it felt.

IT’S AN APPROACH BUILT ON SIX PRINCIPLES

Before founding Story Of Your Day, I spent more than twenty years as a BBC Pioneer Video Journalist and Reporter.

That background has a huge influence on how I film weddings. I’m always watching what’s happening, listening to what’s being said and anticipating what might happen next. I don’t want to recreate moments afterwards. I want to capture them as they actually happen.

And for me, audio is half the story.

What people say, how they say it, the speeches, conversations and sounds of the day are just as important as the pictures. They’re what allow me to build a film around what actually happened, rather than simply creating a montage of beautiful footage set to music.

That’s the difference between documenting a wedding and telling its story.

I’m an international wedding filmmaker who happens to call Switzerland home. I film weddings around the world, as well as working with international couples who choose Switzerland for their destination wedding.

Living and working here gives me something very different from simply travelling into Switzerland for a wedding. I understand how things work here, I speak German as well as English, and I’ve built strong relationships with planners, venues, suppliers, local communities and the Swiss tourism network.

Those connections matter. Switzerland can often be difficult to navigate from the outside, and having someone who understands both the international wedding world and how things work locally can open doors and make things possible that aren’t always straightforward otherwise.

You get genuine local knowledge and trusted connections, backed by more than two decades of international filmmaking experience.

My work doesn’t begin when I pick up a camera.

I want to know you before I film your wedding. I want to understand what you’re planning, who is important to you and what really matters about the day.

I’ll work closely with you and your planner throughout the planning process, contribute to the timeline where it affects the film and collaborate with your photographer and wider creative team ahead of the wedding.

That means that when I arrive, I’m not turning up as a stranger with a camera. I already understand the people, the plans and what matters to you.

The preparation I put in before your wedding is what allows me to be calm and unobtrusive when the day itself arrives.

I already know the timeline, the people who matter to you and what you have planned. So when something spontaneous happens, I’m able to recognise it, anticipate where it might lead and capture it as it unfolds, without having to interrupt or recreate it afterwards.

Of course, wedding days don’t always go exactly to plan. I work closely with your planner, photographer, venue and wider creative team, and I’m always ready to step in when I’m needed. You’d be surprised how many times I’ve had to tie a bow tie at the last minute.

Being prepared means I can stay calm when plans change, adapt quickly and, most importantly, give you the space to experience your wedding while I quietly capture what is happening around you.

I don’t create perfume-advert wedding films, and I don’t work from a template.

I believe the best wedding films begin with the wedding itself. I’m not there to turn your day into a production or create moments simply because they’ll look good on camera.

The film comes from the experience you’ve created, the people you’ve brought together and what actually happens between them.

Of course, there will be times when I’ll guide you or work with your photographer to create something beautiful. But the filmmaking should never become more important than the reason we’re all there.

Your wedding comes first. The film is shaped around it.
And that’s why every Story Of Your Day film is different.

When you book Story Of Your Day, you’re booking me.
From our first conversation through to filming your wedding and editing your final film, I remain personally responsible for your story.

I don’t outsource the filming or the edit. If your wedding requires additional filmmakers or content creators, I personally choose and lead the team working alongside me.

That means everything still comes back to one creative vision.

The person who has taken the time to get to know you, who was there to experience and film your wedding, is also the person who sits down afterwards and tells its story.

EVERY WEDDING HAS A STORY BEYOND THE WEDDING DAY

The films I create are shaped not only by what happens on the day, but by the stories, people and memories that brought you there.

Switzerland WEDDING Destination

Switzerland has Everything

It’s a dream destination wedding location. Here’s where I’d point you.

Famous Hotels & Venues

Suvretta House and Badrutt’s Palace in St. Moritz set the standard for alpine glamour. The Grand Hotel Kronenhof in Pontresina is equally stunning. On Lake Geneva, Fairmont Le Montreux Palace is in a class of its own. In Bern, the Schweizerhof Hotel & Spa delivers quiet, refined elegance.

Lakeside Castles

Schloss Oberhofen and Schloss Schadau sit on the shores of Lake Thun in the Jungfrau Region — two of the most romantic settings I’ve filmed at. Schloss Bottmingen in Basel is a lesser-known gem. And Château Chillon in Montreux is simply extraordinary.

Intimate & Secluded

For something smaller and private, Lake Blausee is unlike anywhere else in Switzerland. Villa Honegg above Lake Lucerne offers complete seclusion with alpine views. Grand Hotel Giessbach, beside the Giessbach Falls, is one of the most romantic spots in the country.

CELEBRATING SWITZERLAND. RESPONSIBLY.

Switzerland isn’t simply an extraordinary place to get married. It’s also my home.

Story Of Your Day is part of Switzerland Tourism’s Swisstainable programme and a proud partner of Leave No Trace, reflecting a commitment to working responsibly in the landscapes and communities where I live and film.

That means respecting private land and local communities, understanding where access is appropriate, working with local partners and choosing ways of working that minimise our impact on the places we visit.

Because experiencing the very best of Switzerland also comes with a responsibility to protect what makes it so special.

NOT EVERY SWITZERLAND WEDDING LOOKS THE SAME

Some of the most memorable weddings I film are smaller by design.

An intimate wedding gives you the space to bring the people who matter most together in an extraordinary place,
while still creating a celebration that feels considered, beautiful and entirely your own.

For celebrations of up to around 60 guests, I offer dedicated intimate wedding collections combining the same story-first filmmaking, personal approach and local knowledge as my larger destination weddings.

I absolutely love filming intimate weddings. For me, the new luxury is intimacy: fewer people, more time together and the freedom to create an experience that feels entirely your own.

Frequently Asked Questions


Story Of Your Day is based in Switzerland and I film weddings throughout the country, from the Jungfrau Region, Gstaad and Zermatt to St Moritz, Lake Geneva, Lake Lucerne, Ticino and beyond.

Because I live and work here, I have an established network of planners, venues, suppliers and local connections across Switzerland, while continuing to work internationally as a destination wedding filmmaker.

Yes. Switzerland is an extraordinary wedding destination throughout the year, and I film weddings across every season.

Summer brings long days, mountain landscapes and lakeside celebrations, while autumn offers quieter destinations and changing colours. Winter weddings can take you from elegant celebrations in the mountains to skiing, snow and completely different ways of experiencing Switzerland.

Where and when you choose to marry will shape what is possible, and I can advise on the practicalities of filming in different Swiss destinations and seasons.

Yes. Alongside larger destination weddings, I offer dedicated collections for intimate weddings and elopements in Switzerland.

Intimate weddings are designed for couples bringing a smaller group of family and friends together, while my Swiss elopement experiences are created for couples wanting something much more private and experience-led.

Absolutely. Some of the most memorable weddings I’ve filmed in Switzerland have taken the celebration beyond the traditional wedding day.

From skiing and mountain experiences to celebrations reached by trains, cable cars and other uniquely Swiss forms of transport, these weddings require careful preparation and an understanding of how things work in the mountains.

Absolutely. Story Of Your Day welcomes and celebrates couples regardless of gender or sexual orientation. What matters to me is understanding who you are, the people who matter to you and the story you’re bringing together in Switzerland.

→ Watch LGBTQ+ wedding films

Every wedding I film is different, so collections are designed around the celebration, location, coverage and films you want me to create.

Once I understand what you’re planning, I’ll send you the most relevant collection and pricing information. For multi-day celebrations or weddings requiring additional filmmakers, photography or other coverage, I can create a bespoke proposal around what you need.

Yes. Film will always be at the heart of Story Of Your Day, but I can also provide photography as part of your wedding collection through one of my personally selected associate photographers.

They are photographers I know and trust, who understand the Story Of Your Day approach and work alongside me as part of the team. This allows your film and photography to be approached collaboratively while keeping the focus where it belongs: on your wedding.

I accept only a limited number of wedding commissions each year so that I can remain personally involved in every story I tell.

If you have chosen your date and destination in Switzerland, I would recommend getting in touch as soon as you’re ready, particularly for popular summer dates and key winter weekends.

You don’t need to have every detail decided before you enquire. Your date, location and an idea of the celebration you’re planning is enough to begin the conversation.

Absolutely. Collaboration is an important part of how I work.

I work closely with your planner, photographer and wider creative team before the wedding, particularly around the timeline and anything that will affect the film. It means we can arrive on the day already understanding how we’re going to work together, rather than competing for time or turning your wedding into a production.

If you’re still building your team, I can also introduce you to trusted planners and creative partners in Switzerland.

Start by getting in touch and telling me about the wedding you’re planning, including your date, location and what you already know about the celebration.

If I’m available and it sounds as though we could be a good fit, I’ll send you the relevant information and collections before we arrange a call.

Once you’re ready to move forward, your date is secured with a signed agreement and 30% booking fee.

YOUR CONNECTION TO SWITZERLAND

Planning a proposal, elopement or wedding in Switzerland involves decisions that go far beyond choosing a beautiful location.

Based in Wengen in the Jungfrau Region, I’ve built trusted relationships with planners, venues, local suppliers and private locations across Switzerland. Through my Swiss Concierge approach, I can connect you with the right people and offer practical guidance on everything from locations and timing to access and logistics.

Whether I’m the first person you contact or you already have a planner in place, you have someone here in Switzerland who knows how to help you find the right way forward.
