Located 30 minutes from Interlaken, Grindelwald is a picture-postcard village nestled between mountains. Perched at 1000 meters above sea level and surrounded by majestic peaks, it’s a place where nature’s grandeur invites you to slow down. The perfect spot to celebrate love, far from the hustle and bustle, and say “I do” in simplicity and serenity.

It was against this magical backdrop that I had the privilege of capturing the love story of Monique and Cory, who came all the way from the United States to experience an unforgettable elopement.

Switzerland, a land of soaring mountains, charming villages, and picture-perfect landscapes, is a dream destination for couples looking to elope. But with its ever-changing beauty, you might wonder: When’s the best time to elope in Switzerland?

The truth is, there’s no bad time! Every season offers its own magic, so it really depends on the kind of vibe you’re after. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect year-round to help you pick the perfect season for your Swiss adventure.

Nestled among the Swiss Alps, the breathtaking Oeschinensee is one of the most stunning lakes in Switzerland. Located just an hour from Bern, this idyllic spot offers a dreamlike backdrop to capture the most beautiful love stories.

I had the privilege of photographing Léa and Romain's intimate elopement. Both mountain enthusiasts, they naturally chose to say “I do” surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Swiss Alps.

When Rebecca and Christian got in touch from the US, they told me they’d always dreamed of a photoshoot in the Swiss Alps. The idea of capturing their love in such an incredible place immediately got me excited. We chose Belalp for its dramatic views and autumn charm and it didn’t disappoint.

The morning of the shoot was crisp, with that unmistakable autumn chill in the air. Fog moved through the mountains like a living thing, sometimes hiding the peaks and other times revealing them in all their glory. It felt like nature itself was setting the stage for something special.
