Elegant Zurich Wedding: Patricia & Raphael at Neumünster Church and Signau House

Patricia and Raphael’s civil ceremony was a reminder of the simple yet profound joy that love brings into our lives. As they embark on this new journey together, their love story, set against the picturesque backdrop of Zurich, will continue to inspire and resonate with all who were fortunate enough to be a part of their special day.

Day 1

Day 2

Patricia and Raphael's love story reached a new chapter as they said 'I do' in the magnificent Neumünster Church in the peaceful Riesbach district of Zurich. The church's impressive stained glass windows, soaring arches, and intricate carvings created a breathtaking setting for the couple's exchange of vows. They chose Signau House, a beautiful boutique hotel, to celebrate their marriage with close friends and family. Recently refurbished, the 100-year-old villa boasts a charming and sophisticated atmosphere, offering the perfect blend of history and modern elegance. Nestled in the heart of the city, Signau House is a hidden treasure, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The highlight of Signau House is its picturesque garden, featuring a serene pond filled with water lilies, providing the perfect backdrop for the couple's wedding ceremony. As a wedding photographer always searching for new and unique venues, I was happy to discover this place. With its charming atmosphere, tranquil garden, and close proximity to a stunning church, Signau House is a must-consider venue for any couple seeking an elegant setting for their special day.

Jasmine & Mark, wedding at Dolder Grand Hotel in Zurich

One more dream location in Switzerland - the Dolder Grand, one of the nicest hotels in Switzerland, nested on the hill above Zurich overlooking the city, its lake and the Alps. First time I was taking pictures of Jasmine and Marc during their civil registration ceremony at Greifensee Schloss the year before, I was struck by their Old Hollywood flair and overall resemblance to all legendary actors and actresses :) Jasmine wanted her wedding to be organically and timelessly beautiful and withstand passing trends. Breathtaking Summer-infused colourful florals (thanks to “English rosarium”) accompanied each stage of the wedding day, from the ceremony at Alte Kirche Witikon to the dancing floor at the magnificent Dolder Grand hotel. A stunning Galia Lahav wedding gown in combination with loosely gathered huge bouquet featuring cream garden roses, blush dahlias and bluebells made a truly stunning appearance. As a homage to their small children, Jasmine wore an exquisite heirloom veil embroidered with their names. At the altar, also lavishly decorated with flowers, Jasmine and Marc exchanged the rings. First champagne was served directly after the ceremony at the church backyard. There as well, under a big birch tree the newly married husband and wife read their hand-written vows. During the cocktail hour at Dolder the couple and the guests set free air balloons, and the dinner was served in the room overlooking the terrace.

Debi & Florian, engagement in Zürichhorn, Seefeld, Zurich // Wedding Photographer in Switzerland // Verlobungsshooting in Zürich, Hochzeitsfotograf Zürich

Rich colours of oleander gardens, sparkling lake and the cutest couple, this is to summarise this engagement shooting in Zurich. I met Debi and Florian to discuss their wedding plans at Zürichhorn, the recreational area with parks and gardens in the Seefeld quarter of Zurich. We walked along the lake taking in the beauty around us. It was a wonderful late May evening filled with that magical golden light that is so good for the portraits. And I should not forget to mention the oleanders, yes, we did lots of kissing portraits in the bushes! :)

And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth’s dark breast
Rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
