About – our Story

Alpstein is the name of the mountain range in Appenzell. Our name stands for what shapes us: mountains, nature, and a grounded way of working.

We’re the team behind Alpstein Fotograf — a Swiss wedding photographer duo based in Appenzell, Eastern Switzerland. We shoot mountain weddings, elopements and couples across the Alpstein, Säntis and Eastern Switzerland. Local knowledge isn’t a selling point for us — it’s just how we work.

our (values)

core

I.

Real connection

Pinterest boards can all start to look the same. You don’t. Before we take a single photo, we get to know you — over coffee, on a call, or sometimes even on a hike.

Photographers from Appenzell

II.

Cinematic vision

Trends come and go. Our style is inspired by classic photography: warm, nostalgic tones, soft colours, and editing that won’t feel outdated in two years.

III.

We know eastern Switzerland

… not from books, but from home. Appenzell, the Alpstein, and Lake Constance are places we know deeply. Here, weather, light, and mountain paths can change quickly.

IV.

Well connected

We know trusted local vendors who can help bring your plans to life. Whether it’s styling, florals, or accommodation — we only share recommendations we truly stand behind.

Why choose us as your Swiss Wedding photographers?

We’ve been together for over ten years — as a couple and as a photography team. Two cameras, two angles, two different ways of seeing. One of us catches the quiet moments. The other gets the big ones. As Swiss wedding photographers we cover the full story, not just the highlights.

  • Two perspectives
  • Real moments over staged poses
  • Cinematic editing
  • Digital & printed memories
