Swiss Wedding Photographer
About – Alpstein Fotograf
swiss based – Our Story
We’ve lived in Switzerland our whole lives, and this country has shaped our creativity and our love for the outdoors.
Our journey into wedding and elopement photography was a natural one. Raised in the valley next to the Alpstein mountains, we spent much of our early life exploring forests, hiking local trails and spending long days at quiet lake shores.
Photography has been part of it from the start — documenting Swiss traditions and landscapes. Our home, Appenzell, is a special one: the painted houses, the traditional cattle descents in autumn, the Äscher cliff restaurant the whole world knows from Instagram.
When we’re not outside, we love to cook and listen to campfire music. Autumn is our favourite season — nothing beats a cosy movie night with homemade lasagna.
You’re probably here because you feel the same way. You see the beauty in small moments and in nature — and maybe you feel most alive hand in hand with the love of your life, watching the sunrise from a Swiss mountaintop. A place that feels more like a church than any building ever could. Maybe this is your sign to elope in Switzerland.
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.
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 Our style is inspired by classic photography: warm, nostalgic tones, soft colours, and editing that won’t feel outdated in two years.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 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.

We’re the WRONG photographers for you if …
If you’re booking a wedding photographer just because that’s what you’re supposed to do. If you haven’t really looked at our work and are simply searching for ANY wedding photographer.
If you want bold, punchy colours, or every single image has to be tack sharp. If you DON’T want authentic photos — none where you’re crying, laughing, or not looking picture-perfect for a moment.
If your wedding is merely an obligation to your friends and you don’t want to set aside any time for just the two of you.
