Switzerland Elopement & Small Wedding Videography


You’re dreaming of a different kind of wedding – something small, something intimate, something stunning.

Maybe it’ll be just you and your beloved, or maybe you’re inviting a small group of your closest friends and family. Either way, you know you’ll want to remember all the special details and how it felt.

Wedding photography is wonderful, but nothing tells the story – your unique, unrepeatable story – like a wedding film. With a wedding video, everyone can come to your elopement.

Only a wedding video allows you to travel back in time and relive your wedding in all its glorious detail for years to come. The sights, the sounds, the emotion.

At Story of Your Day, our goal is simple – to document your elopement story in its purest form.

EMMA WILSON, SWISS ELOPEMENT VIDEOGRAPHER


I learned the art of storytelling in my previous career as a BBC journalist and filmmaker. I began filming weddings in 2011 and quickly became one of Europe’s leading wedding videographers.

In 2016 I moved to the stunning Swiss mountain village of Wengen in the Jungfrau Region, close to Interlaken and overlooking the Lauterbrunnen Valley.

Now I lead a small team of passionate filmmakers and photographers who film weddings throughout Switzerland and the Bernese Oberland as well as destination weddings worldwide.

Our approach to filming is unobtrusive and discreet. We will document the moments of your day as they unfold naturally to create a timeless keepsake that authentically reflects your unique love story.

An Intimate Experience Meant To be Shared

SHare your day in a way that comes to Life

Eloping means it’s just the two of you, but sharing your experience with loved ones makes it even more meaningful.

YOU CAN BE IN THE MOMENT

With a film as well as photography, your elopement won’t just be remembered; it will be brought to life in a way that photos alone can’t achieve.

RELIVE THE MAGIC OF YOUR ELOPEMENT

As purveyors of time travel, our cinematic films take you back into the moment time and time again.

LET’S CONNECT

Eloping is like choosing the scenic route to happily ever after

Switzerland Elopement Locations

Mountains. Lakes. History. Adventure


In Switzerland, it’s your choice.

There is no place in the world quite like Switzerland to choose for your destination elopement.

In the Swiss Alps, you can have stunning snow-covered mountain top views and lakes that are bluer-than-blue. And glaciers. All on the same day.

In the last year I have filmed and photographed over twenty small weddings and elopements in Switzerland.

As I live in Wengen in the Lauterbrunnen Valley in the Jungfrau Region, I have all the best contacts and know all the best locations. Even the secret ones.

Get in touch for a consultation. I’ll help you bring your dreams to life in locations that exactly match your vision.

I can be more than just your videographer – I can be your local guide.


As a local embedded in the community here, I have access to exclusive locations such as farmland with spectacular views and secluded private gardens with views of the Jungfrau and Lauterbrunnen Valley.

I know all the hidden trails, away from the usual tourist paths. I can arrange access to the mountain on the cable cars before they open to the public, ensuring a serene and private experience.

Fancy a helicopter ride to your elopement spot? I’ve got you covered.

“My fiancée (now wife) and I had the most wonderful time of our lives eloping in Switzerland and we are so happy that Emma was able to film these moments for us. We really appreciate that Emma took the time to connect with us to get to know each other and prepare us for our big day.

Emma’s partner James put together the rest of our itinerary for the rest of our stay in Switzerland which was awesome. We couldn’t have done it without them!

I am literally out of good adjectives to describe Emma and her incredible talent for filmography!!”

“Brooke and I received our full wedding film and it is amazing. Emma’s unique way of capturing the story as part of using the videos is what sets her apart.

We did a ton of research before picking our videographer and could not have chosen better. We will always have this beautiful memory of our day to look back on and could not be more thankful. 

Thank you for your dedication to creating this story of our day(s)!!!”

“Emma made the entire experience for our elopement extremely special and the way she portrayed the video was unlimited times of reliving the experience.

It is truly priceless. She has all the connections you could ever dream of and coordinated some extraordinary moments because of that. In such a busy country full of tourists we had the utmost privacy with breathtaking views.

I cannot say enough good things about Story of Your Day. If you want to have the most intimate, special occasion and relive it as many times as you want- EMMA IS THE ONE YOU WANT!!!”

Frequently Asked questions


Elopement videography typically starts at 4800 Swiss Francs for a day of filming and a 4’00 to 5’00 minute film of your day. Packages which includes film & photography start at 6800 Swiss Francs.

Your investment includes simple planning, logistics and all consultations prior to the elopement. It includes a full day of filming, and a 4’00 to 5’00 minute wedding video. To tell your story, I need to capture your whole elopement experience, not just the ceremony itself. We don’t count the hours we spend with you, which ensures you get the best results.

You can, of course, choose upgrades such as photography, more than one day of filming, and to have a longer film produced. If you choose, there is also a popular option to also include sneak peek teaser film, which is delivered within 7 days of your event.

And you can also book all your suppliers, vendors and excursions through Story Of Your Day with our All in One Escape Offer and/or The Swiss Concierge. We also have an Airbnb in Wengen which you can book directly.

Your sneak peek video and photography  (if booked) is delivered within 7 days. Your full film will be delivered typically within 12 weeks, sometimes longer during peak season. You can choose to expedite the edit as an extra cost.

With an elopement, it’s just the two of you. But Story of Your Day also films small, intimate weddings (also called micro-weddings) which usually have between 3 and 20 guests. Of course, we also film large, more traditional weddings at locations throughout Europe.

I’ll be honest – you never know exactly what you’re going to get with weather in Switzerland! Whenever possible, we allow flexibility for filming and photography days so you can have the best possible chance for good weather.

I can offer flexibility because I live here. I like to say that the sun is always shining when I film your wedding!

Most eloping couples want photos and video of their special day. If photography is as important to you as videography, I always recommend that you hire a dedicated photographer. Simply put, there are moments in a wedding day (the “I do!” The kiss!) that can never be repeated. 

If you haven’t hired your wedding photographer yet, let me know – I have my own team of photographers and I’m connected to some of the best photographers in Europe. I will work with you to determine the photography style you’re looking for and will share with you their portfolios.

I guarantee that you’ll be given a special offer which will be significantly less expensive than hiring a photographer directly.

While I specialise in filming elopements and small weddings in the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland, I also film destination weddings (big and small) all over Europe.

If you’ve settled on somewhere other than Switzerland for your elopement, I would be glad to be your wedding videographer and capture your love story on film – wherever that takes you.


If you want travel planning, my husband can plan all your logistics, hotels, trains, and excursions from the moment you arrive in Switzerland to the moment you leave, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. For details on our “all-in-one elopement escape offer”, visit The Swiss Concierge.
