A romantic elopement in the Swiss Mountains: Mürren

There’s something breathtakingly personal about eloping in the heart of the Swiss Alps—and Kris and Jane’s intimate celebration in Mürren, Switzerland was the perfect blend of emotion, elegance, and raw natural beauty. As a destination elopement photographer in Switzerland, I’m constantly inspired by couples like them who choose meaningful, scenic places to say their vows.

Nestled high above the Lauterbrunnen Valley, Mürren is a car-free mountain village known for its cinematic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. In winter and early spring, the landscape is draped in snow and silence—making it the ultimate escape for couples seeking privacy and awe-inspiring surroundings.

Getting Ready in a Cozy Alpine Airbnb

Kris and Jane began their day slowly in a charming Airbnb chalet in Mürren, sipping coffee while overlooking the peaks. Golden leaves had fallen gently outside the window, creating the most peaceful atmosphere. Jane wore a minimal, elegant gown and natural makeup, while Kris opted for a tailored suit—perfect for the mountain chill. The morning was unrushed and full of quiet joy. As a photographer, I focus on storytelling through natural moments—and their time getting ready was full of them: shared laughter, and that stillness that only elopements allow.

An Intimate Ceremony with Marylin Rebelo

Their ceremony, led by the wonderful celebrant Marylin Rebelo, took place on a overlook just beyond the village—where the cliffs drop dramatically into the valley and the mountains feel close enough to touch. Surrounded by silence, wind, and sky, Kris and Jane exchanged heartfelt vows as mist drifted across the peaks. No guests. No distractions. Just love, spoken softly beneath the vastness of the Alps, an intimate elopement in Mürren.

A Luxury Elopement Experience in the Swiss Alps

After the ceremony, we explored the area for portraits—Mürren’s wooden chalets, trails, and sweeping alpine views offered a stunning backdrop at every turn. I always aim to create elegant, editorial-style imagery that feels timeless and honest—and this day gave us everything: intimacy, simplicity, and cinematic light.

Kris and Jane ended their day with a private dinner, a bottle of wine, and the kind of happiness that comes from doing things their own way.
