PHOTOGRAPHY
Your Wedding Photographer in Switzerland
EMOTIONAL WEDDING PICTURES & VIDEOS
Hi, my name is Yvo and I am an international wedding photographer and filmmaker from Switzerland. I believe that great photography is all about capturing true emotions. Because we do not remember days or weeks but rather the moments that we lived during this time. As real moments happen spontaneously and cannot be staged, my style is mainly documentary. This means I observe and capture your wedding in a natural way.Being born in Switzerland and having lived in several countries, I am fluent in English, German, Spanish and French. Below I will tell you a little bit about my style and what you can expect from me. I hope you enjoy my website!
Light & Colors
Whenever possible I will photograph with natural light as this makes the images warmer, more authentic and overall more interesting. During the bridal session I love to shoot directly into the sun to create romantic and timeless wedding photos. In the late evening I sometimes use a special technique to backlight the bridal couple with a remote flash for magical images.
YOUR STORY COUNTS
When I edit the wedding photos I make sure to use subtle colors and strong contrasts. The pictures should have a light vintage touch and should look at the samt time elegant.
candid & natural
During the whole wedding day I will move around quietly and almost invisible. You and your guest will perceive me as just another guest. This allows me to capture candid and natural moments.
NATURAL COLORS
During the bridal photo shoot I strive for a harmonic interaction between you and the environment. It is the only time of the day that I might give you advice on posing - the rest of the day I will only ask you to be yourself and to enjoy your special day!
emotions
... The most important thing for me is to capture the emotional moments of your special day. When you are completely absorbed by your emotions and are only living the moment. May it be the tears of joy, an eternal hug ...
... Whether it's a hearty laugh on one of the happiest days of your life.
empathy
I hope you like my Wedding Photography! However, a good wedding photographer should not only make great pictures. It is equally crucial that you feel comfortable in the presence of your wedding photographer. This is because you will spend a lot of time with your photographer during your wedding and you will share many very emotional as well as intimate moments. Having said this, one of my main goal during your wedding day is to be empathic and to fulfill your individual wishes. Being a very open and social person, it is usually easy for me to spend a wonderful and very comfortable wedding day with the bridal couples.

3 things that set me apart as a wedding photographer
1. I love what I do!
Being a wedding photographer is my absolute dream job! After studying law, I moved to Barcelona and later to Paris. During this time, I worked in various industries that I enjoyed but never truly fulfilled me. In 2018, I decided to turn my dream into reality and became a self-employed wedding photographer. Without a doubt, this was one of the best decisions of my life. I love connecting with couples, capturing the emotional moments of a wedding, and embracing the challenges and variety that each wedding brings. My passion for wedding photography keeps me highly motivated at every wedding, striving to document it in the best possible way.
2. Be who you are
For me, it is very important that you feel comfortable in front of the camera. The best way to achieve this is by being yourselves and not having to pretend. My style as a wedding photographer is documentary, which means I won’t ask you to pose or look into the camera. When you are truly yourselves in front of the camera, you will love your wedding photos the most.
3. Everywhere and nowhere
As a wedding photographer, I work as inconspicuously as possible. However, this doesn’t mean that I photograph your wedding from a distance with a telephoto lens. Photos taken with a telephoto lens often have the feel of paparazzi shots. With a wide-angle lens, on the other hand, emotions are much better captured. This is because, thanks to the wide-angle lens, the viewer feels as though they are right in the middle of the action. The art lies in being close to the action while remaining invisible at the same time. This requires a great deal of sensitivity and experience.
4 Tips for Choosing a Wedding Photographer
It's very likely that I’m not the only wedding photographer whose website you’ve looked at today ;-) In fact, there are many different wedding photographers in Switzerland. Below, I’ll give you a few tips for selecting the right wedding photographer.
1. Style of the Wedding Photographer
Every couple has its own taste, and therefore there is no one "best" wedding photographer. However, every wedding photographer should have a clearly recognizable style. A good wedding photographer consistently captures their photos in a unified way. This allows you to know what your wedding photos will look like. If you don’t recognize a clear style from a photographer, in my opinion, you should stay away from them. Otherwise, disappointment is practically guaranteed.
2. Do You Like the Wedding Photographer?
During your wedding day, you’ll spend a lot of time with your photographer. Therefore, it’s important that you get along well with them. You should feel comfortable and secure. The best way to find this out is, of course, through a personal conversation. In my opinion, chemistry (in addition to the wedding photos) is the most important factor when choosing a wedding photographer.
3. Look at Complete Weddings
ome photographers only display their best photos on their website. However, a good wedding album is much more than just the top 10 photos. A great wedding photographer tells the story of your special day in several hundred photos. And, of course, you should like all or at least the vast majority of the wedding photos. I therefore strongly recommend looking at complete wedding albums of the photographer. Some wedding photographers, especially at the start of their career, do so-called "Styled Shoots," which are staged wedding photos with a model. You can probably imagine that these don’t reflect reality very well. In fact, weddings for a wedding photographer are usually quite stressful, both physically and mentally, which is very different from a model shoot.
4. The Photographer’s Reviews
Another factor in selecting your wedding photographer could be their reviews. What qualities are the photographer particularly praised for? For example, many of my wedding couples have mentioned that I photograph almost unnoticed. If this is an important quality for you, then this would be a good reason to book me as your wedding photographer.
