Looking to elope? There is surely no better place than Switzerland. With an endless supply of majestic mountains, stunning lakes, and beautiful old towns, Switzerland really has something for everyone. Your elopement should just be about you and the love you are celebrating together.
As a seasoned Switzerland elopement photographer, I specialize in capturing the intimate moments of couples choosing to elope in Switzerland. This is what I aim to capture - the love and the emotions of your day.
Why Choose Switzerland for your Elopement?
ALL OF IT.
Let me tell your
love story.
The beauty of your elopement is that is can be whatever you want it to be. Whether city or mountain, I would love to come along and photograph this day for you. I also love to help my couples choose locations and plan the timeline, so please reach out for any questions on those areas. It's also great for me to recommend other amazing Swiss vendors for your elopement here in Switzerland. I know planning a wedding in another country can be tough - so I'm here to help out in any way I can.
Client Praise
"Our journey to Brianna is what I would call kismet – true fate. Brianna set our entire trip in motion - before we booked flights, hotels, or I even had a dress picked out, we booked Brianna. When I say this is the best decision we could have made, I mean it from the bottom of my heart."

Top Elopement Locations in Switzerland
Switzerland is home to some of the most breathtaking elopement backdrops in the world. Whether you’re dreaming of snow-covered peaks, serene lakes, or charming alpine villages, this country offers a wide variety of stunning locations to say “I do.” Here are some of the top spots for a truly unforgettable Swiss elopement. Get more inspiration here.
Zermatt & the Matterhorn
For couples who want dramatic alpine views and charming car-free village vibes, Zermatt offers a picture-perfect backdrop. Eloping here means sunrise portraits with the Matterhorn, luxury stays at CERVO or Mont Cervin Palace, and gondola rides into the heart of the Alps.
St. Moritz & the Engadin Valley
Refined, elegant, and surrounded by sparkling lakes and dramatic peaks — St. Moritz is a dream for couples who love both nature and luxury. Think snowy winter vows or summer ceremonies with panoramic views.
Lake Lucerne
Romantic boat rides, mountain backdrops, and historic charm make Lake Lucerne one of the most versatile elopement destinations in Switzerland. Perfect for a blend of adventure and sophistication. Stunning venues in the area include Hotel Villa Honegg, Bürgenstock, Park Hotel Vitznau, St. Charles Hall.
Walensee
A hidden gem in eastern Switzerland, Walensee offers crystal-clear waters, dramatic cliffs, and a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path atmosphere. Ideal for couples seeking a more secluded, nature-focused celebration with cinematic views.
Lake Geneva (Lac Léman)
For couples drawn to vineyards and lakefront charm, Lake Geneva offers a picturesque escape. The Riviera-like towns like Lausanne and Montreux are especially beautiful in the warmer months, with historic châteaux and terraced vineyards framing your elopement.
Ticino
For a Mediterranean twist, the Ticino region offers palm trees, sun-soaked lakes, and elegant villas like Villa Heleneum, Villa Castagnola, Villa Principe Leopoldo, and Villa Emden on the Brissago Islands. It’s ideal for couples looking for a romantic and relaxed elopement with an Italian flair. See some top wedding venues in Ticino here.
Lauterbrunnen Valley
With its fairytale waterfalls and steep cliffs, Lauterbrunnen feels like stepping into a storybook. Hike to quiet meadows or take a cable car to Mürren or Wengen for unbeatable views.
TIPS AND TRICKS
WHAT TO DO NEXT?
If neither of you are Swiss citizens or residents, then you cannot legally get married in Switzerland. What most couples do, is legally get married in their home country, and then have a symbolic ceremony in Switzerland. They then treat this as their official wedding day.
Once you have decided you want to have your elopement in Switzerland, the next this is to decide on a date. Different times of the year will provide a different look and feel. Winter in Switzerland is truly beautiful. In the alps you have snow covered mountains with gorgeous views. And in the cities you have Christmas lights and decorations at every turn. In the summer, the Swiss alps are stunning, and there are many beautiful locations you can hike to. Summer and Winter will of course be the busiest seasons, but still perfectly manageable. Fall and Spring will be less busy with tourists for sure and will be just as beautiful in their own right. Many parts of Switzerland have lovely colours in the Fall with the trees turning orange and providing a stunning backdrop for your elopement. Spring will vary greatly depending on the location. Many cities will start to warm up, but higher elevations will likely still be covered with snow.

YOUR SWITZERLAND ELOPEMENT
MY PHILOSOPHY
I’m drawn to beautiful light, rich color, and thoughtful composition — the kind that makes your portraits truly shine. But just as important are the quiet, unscripted moments: a hand squeeze before your vows, a gentle cuddle while waiting for the gondola, the way you look at each other when no one else is watching. These in-between scenes are what bring your elopement story to life.
My goal is to create a gallery that feels both timeless and emotive — a collection of images that captures not just how everything looked, but exactly how it felt. From elegant editorial portraits to heartfelt candids, your photos will be just as meaningful ten years from now as they are today.
