SWITZERLAND IS PERFECT FOR PROPOSALS

GIVE HER THE PROPOSAL OF HER DREAMS

The one she’s been dreaming about since she was 12

It’s rare that anyone actually wants a flashy, public, “Jumbotron proposal.”

So how can you “go big” while keeping it personal and private?

Simple. You propose to her in Switzerland.

Story Of Your Day offers proposal planning, photography, and videography based out of Wengen, Switzerland, which is in the heart of the Swiss Alps.

If you’re looking for the perfect time and place to declare your eternal love to one another, there is no place quite here.

  • Untouched, serene lakes
  • Breathtaking mountains that reach into the heavens
  • Sublime views that will take your breath away

An unforgettable setting for your unforgettable Proposal

At Story Of Your Day, everything will be set up to create a dream proposal experience.

I’ll help you choose the right place, the right light, and the right timing. 

Then I’ll fade into the background and authentically capture your precious moment in photos and film so that you can relive your “yes” together for years to come.

Because Yours is a Love Story for the Ages

Where is the best place in Switzerland to propose? Well, it all depends on what you’re dreaming of…

Maybe it’s proposing as you enjoy a romantic picnic overlooking the Lauterbrunnen Valley.

Or at the top of a mountain, in a wintry wonderland, surrounded by majesty.

Or maybe it’ll be just the two of you, out in a rowboat on a crystal-clear alpine lake.

I’ll work with you in the weeks and months leading up to your trip to show you the most picturesque and intimate locations available.

My goal is nothing short of ensuring your proposal is truly exceptional, tailored to your vision.

BOOK YOUR NO-OBLIGATION SWISS PROPOSAL PLANNING SESSION

Keeping it a Secret? That’s half the fun.

I go to great lengths to ensure that your beloved doesn’t know what’s about to happen – or that I’m a photographer and videographer.

I’ll play whatever part needed to ensure my presence doesn’t give it all away. I’ve been a “tour guide.” I’ve hidden video cameras out of sight on my neighbours’ balconies. Once, our local alpine helicopter company let me borrow one of their uniforms to play the part of being on their team.

So, if you’re concerned that having a photographer present will ruin the moment, then don’t worry one bit. I’m a professional. I know how to keep myself hidden.

For me, keeping the secret is half the fun!

Switzerland Engagement Photography & Videography

And if she already said “yes”…

Many engaged couples travel to Switzerland for some much-needed time together, away from the stress of planning their wedding.

Why not capture this unique and fleeting moment in your lives together with photos or a film?

They’re perfect to use for your save-the-date, a digital invite, or to include in your wedding invitation. Clients often show their engagement film at their wedding reception or create an engagement photo album for their guests to peruse.

An engagement shoot in Switzerland is something you’ll treasure forever.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail

Kind Words

Eiger Proposal, Switzerland

I could not speak highly enough of Emma from Story Of Your Day! She helped me to arrange every step of my proposal process from idea to delivery. The experience could not have been more personal.

Most important of all is that Emma knows how to make you completely comfortable, understands you and what your preferences are and makes sure she captures the moment exactly as you dreamt it.

My review barely scratches the surface of how much Emma delivered. There is no one else to call if you’re planning a Swiss proposal!

Wedding Proposal in the Lauterbrunnen Valley and Wengen

Emma made our proposal so incredibly perfect and memorable. I genuinely could not have asked for a better photographer, pictures, or experience. Emma is very knowledgeable of Wengen and the Jungfrau Region. She knows perfect spots for fantastic backdrops, free of crowds.

Adventure proposal in Wengen and Grindlewald

From discussing the idea to bringing it to fruition, Emma was so patient and kind. Her photography and videography skills are definitely admirable and remarkable, but the personal touch and care made this a lovely experience for us as a couple.”make it a very lovable experience for the couple.

Emma definitely cares about the story and the journey. The final film shows that. We love it and the photographs.

Questions before the question

Proposal photography, pre-wedding photography shoots, digital invites and pregnancy announcement photography all typically start at 1800 Swiss Francs. This includes all the planning, set-up and consultations in the lead up to the event, 4 to 5 hours of photography in multiple locations, and 50 high-resolution images. Images are delivered digitally in an online gallery.

This price applies to photography in and around the Lauterbrunnen Valley including Wengen, Murren, Grindelwald as well as helicopter excursions in the areas surrounding Interlaken.

As Story Of Your Day is also a wedding videography company and is booked for weddings most peak weekends, I can only accept advance bookings at this rate for weekday shoots. Weekend sessions are available, but at a higher rate.

Videography for proposals, vow renewals and other special events start at 2500 Swiss Francs for up to 6 hours of filming with multiple locations. This price includes all of the consultations and planning we’ll do together in the lead-up to the event.

The result is a cinematic 1’30 film which can also be delivered in portrait format to share as an Instagram reel.

Ask about my special offers if you wish to book photography and videography together.

As with proposal photography, engagement videography sessions which occur on a weekend are available, but incur an additional fee.

My packages all include full planning, logistics, and all consultations in the weeks and months leading up to your visit to Switzerland.

Depending on what you choose, my packages either include a 1’30 film, photography with 50 high resolution images, or both.

Each of my packages are completely customizable, so, for example, you can choose to include more than one day of filming in your package or you can choose to have more images, a longer film, or multiple films.

Switzerland travel planning is also available through our in-house ‘Swiss Concierge’ service.

Yes, I specialise in LBGTQ+ wedding videography and have had the pleasure of capturing many unforgettable wedding love stories of LGBTQ+ couples.

I haven’t photographed or filmed any LGBTQ+ proposals or engagements yet, but I’d love to. Please get in touch.

You will receive a sneak peek of 12 images from your session within 48 hours of the shoot.

Your full online photography gallery will be delivered within 4 weeks of the photoshoot and, if you have booked a film, you can expect to receive your film shortly after.

You can choose to expedite the photography or videography edits as an extra cost.

I’m quite the ‘keeper of secrets’ when it comes to the locations I frequent. I do not share my insider knowledge of this area with anyone, not even other photographers.

This is important because it’s the only way I can be sure you will not have your special moment interrupted or have strangers looking in.

After the actual proposal, we’ll spend the rest of the shoot at various locations in the area of your choosing, and at each of them we will be on our own, without another soul in sight!

I’ll be honest—you never know exactly what you’re going to get with the weather in Switzerland.

But, whenever possible, I allow flexibility for filming and photography days so you can have the best possible chance for good weather. I live here, so it’s not difficult for me to offer that kind of flexibility. I like to say that the sun is almost always shining on the day that I film and photograph you! 

That said, it’s been my experience that even “bad weather” can make for a romantic, memorable moment (and great pictures). It can be fun to propose in the rain or the snow!

If photography is as important to you as videography for your proposal, I always recommend that you hire a dedicated photographer to work alongside me as your videographer.

Story Of Your Day has its own team of local photographers. I’m also connected to some of the best photographers in Europe. If you’re looking for photography and videography and want to have two professionals capturing the moment, 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 an exclusive price that is significantly less expensive than hiring two professionals directly.

If you want to work with me alone to both film and photograph that is also possible, but we’ll need a little more time together to get the best results.

My husband, James, is a Swiss travel expert. He knows about all the best accommodation options and can help you choose. We also run an Airbnb situated in the centre of Wengen Village. It has amazing views from the balcony!

If you need full travel planning, James 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 more details about this service, visit the Swiss Concierge.


Yes, 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.
