Fotograf Hochzeit Zürich | Wedding Photographer Switzerland

Wedding photography is, well, about photographing a wedding of course. So it's obvious that you are taking lots of pictures of the bridal couple. During the preparations, the ceremony, cake cutting, the first dance and so on. If you go with the flow to capture the wedding day that usually means that you just have to follow the bride and groom as that's the place where the action is. But it's not less important to always turn around to see what's happening behind your back or even leave the room and check what's going on in the next room or outside. [Before you do so, always check back with the wedding coordinator that nothing important is happening in the meantime and that they know where to find you in case…

Wedding Photographer Morges | Mariage Portes des Iris, Vullierens

Wedding - Hochzeit

Portes des Iris in Vullierens near Morges is an awesome place. The farmhouse dating back to the 16th century belongs to the Estate of Château de Vullierens and is located on a little hill between flower and corn fields. It's one of my very favorite wedding venues in Switzerland. And it only gets better when the bride and groom tell you that they will arrive for the ceremony not by car, but riding on white horses. As Sarah & Patrice did :) By Hochzeitsfotograf Daniel Zihlmann

Wedding Photographer Lausanne | Mariage à Vullierens, Portes des Iris

Wedding - Hochzeit

On the wedding day it's often more interesting not to follow the bride and groom, but to observe what's going on on other "stages" of the event. As a second shooter you're in a great position to do just that as usually the principal photographer will cover the bride and groom and get the required wedding pictures. As the second shooter you've got a lot more freedom to play around. When I helped last weekend my good friend Colette to photograph a wedding at Portes des Iris in Vullierens - one of my favorite wedding venues in the french part of Switzerland - I was hanging around where the ceremony would take place later. It was just 10 minutes before the ceremony and they final preparations were done. As the…

Wedding Photographer Switzerland | Mariage Vérène & Jean-Pierre, Sion

Wedding - Hochzeit

The windshield wipers were working hard in heavy rain when my car passed Montreux at the Lake of Geneva in Switzerland. That was not exactly how I interpreted this morning the forecast for the wedding of Vérène and Jean-Pierre in Sion and Granges, in the french part of Switzerland. But I was still confident that in the Valais it would look better as it usually has more sun and less rain than the rest of Switzerland. There must be a reason why the Valais is well known for it's wine. And indeed, as soon as I turned around the corner into the valley, there were only a few drops of rain left and the day evolved into another perfect summer day. With a gourgeous couple, a blue sky, humming bees…

Fotograf Basel | Wedding of Heather & David on Wildenstein Castle

Wedding - Hochzeit

High grass, a light breeze and the chirping of crickets. What an amazing summer day for the wedding of Heather and David on Wildenstein Castle near Basel, Switzerland. For a Swiss wedding photographer it always means something very special if you get the opportunity to photograph an open air wedding. The weather being not as warm and stable as in California, there are not many open air weddings over here. And if it takes place in such an awesome location as a castle that is built around 1200, what can you ask more for? The work of wedding coordinators Anne and Esther of weddingdesign made it perfect. An unforgettable day for Heather and David and their families and friends. By Hochzeitsfotograf Daniel Zihlmann
