OUR VALUES
ELEGANCE
EMOTIONS
We know we have a great responsibility: our work will become the immortal memories from one of the biggest days of your life.
We do elegant and artistic pictures and video that will be the gorgeous memories from your day, but above all, we make them show your true essence, your raw emotions and feelings, immortalising the intangible from such an emotional day in your lives. They have to be natural and meaningful at the same time.
Finding the perfect balance between these two things is what makes us outstanding at our job.
​
THE WAY WE WORK
Our approach to weddings is intentionally simple and grounded in presence.
I believe your wedding day should feel effortless: not just in the images, but in the experience. I’m easygoing, discreet, and deeply attuned to the energy of the day. You’ll find me blending in naturally, moving quietly alongside your guests, capturing everything from the grand gestures to the smallest, fleeting moments, without ever pulling focus. My goal is for you to live fully in every second, forget the camera is even there, and trust that I’m preserving the beauty you didn’t even realize was unfolding.
When it’s time for portraits, I keep things natural and relaxed.
There’s no pressure to pose or perform: just the two of you, as you are. I’ll offer gentle guidance, but always leave space for spontaneity, intimacy, and fun. I want this to feel like a shared moment between you, not a photo session.
Every image is treated as a piece of art.
I edit all my work by hand, one photograph at a time, with great care and intention. Nothing is rushed or automated. I see each gallery as a complete and unique artwork, timeless in tone, true in color, and guided by an aesthetic that feels both modern and enduring. This way, your memories are not only beautifully preserved, but forever relevant.
ABOUT US
I'm Gloria, a wedding and elopement photographer with a heart for storytelling and an eye shaped by art.
​
I’ve been documenting love stories since 2018, but my journey began much earlier through my studies in art history. I've always been drawn to the emotion within an image, the quiet gestures, the play of light, the feeling behind the frame. I’m also deeply inspired by film and the emotional impact of cinematic color grading, the way tone and texture can move us and preserve a mood long after the moment has passed. That sensibility shapes how I approach photography: not just to document, but to create something artful and deeply felt.
​
Living in Switzerland has allowed me to photograph some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world, and also to know them intimately. I understand the light, the rhythm of the seasons, the culture, and the hidden places that make this country so uniquely suited to unforgettable celebrations. Whether you're eloping in the Alps or planning a destination wedding, I offer more than just photography: I’m a calm, grounded presence, someone who’s here to guide you, support you, and help you make the most of every moment.
​
I take on a limited number of weddings and elopements each year to give my full attention to each couple. This allows me to work with care, intention, and a personal connection that’s reflected in the final result. I personally hand-edit every image, one by one, without just pasting presets or AI: time, attention, and a dedication to creating something honest and enduring.
​
My work is quietly emotional, editorial in feel, and grounded in truth. I don’t just want to show you how it looked: I want to show you how it felt, and give you something that will always take you back.
