What they have to say about their adventure
Amber was a delight to work with! We knew from the second we spoke with her and looked at her portfolio, that we wanted her to be our photographer for our special day. She planned out a perfect itinerary for our 8-hr elopement and was super helpful with recommendations. We are so excited to see our final photos!
Thank you so much, Amber, for all of your hard work and making our Swiss elopement a day we will never forget!
Reflections on the day
Once upon a time, in the heart of Switzerland, a couple decided to embark on the adventure of a lifetime and elope. They knew they wanted to exchange their vows in a place that was as stunning as their love for each other, and so they chose the magnificent Lauterbrunnen valley as their elopement destination.
On the morning of their special day, the couple got ready in a cozy hotel that was perched on top of a mountain, overlooking the valley below. As they prepared for the ceremony, they marveled at the breathtaking view outside their window and the feeling of anticipation that was building inside them.
After they were dressed and ready to go, the couple made their way down the mountain and into the valley below. There, they were met by their talented photographer who captured their love and excitement as they posed with the Lauterbrunnen valley as their backdrop.
As the day drew on, the couple made their way back up to the mountaintop for the epic part of their elopement: the ceremony. As the sun began to set, the couple exchanged their heartfelt vows, surrounded by majestic mountains and the beauty of nature. The soft glow of the blue hour made for the most stunning couple photos, and the couple couldn’t have been happier with how their day had turned out.
As they gazed out at the incredible Swiss landscape, the couple knew that they had made the right choice in eloping. Their day was completely their own, filled with adventure, beauty, and love. They couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to start their journey as a married couple.
Behind the scenes of their Swiss Alps elopement
A short anecdote: We initially planned to take some photos by a picturesque lake, but once we saw the enchanting beauty of the valley, we couldn’t resist changing our plans. We ditched the original idea and spent our time wandering through the valley, captivated by its vibrant colors and peaceful atmosphere, which made for even more magical memories.
This elopement won 3 international photography awards
