Enchanting landscapes & breathtaking charm in this Swiss editorial

Switzerland, with its enchanting landscapes and breathtaking charm, has always been a dream destination for many. Switzerland wedding photographer PHILIBERT BARELLI wanted to capture the essence of this stunning country and showcase it as the ultimate wedding destination. This vision led to the creation of an editorial photoshoot set against the picturesque backdrop of some of Switzerland’s most iconic locations.

The inspiration came from the increasing interest among American couples seeking unique and memorable places to say their vows. With its pristine lakes, majestic mountains, and historic villas, Switzerland offers a romantic setting that is unparalleled. The location for the photoshoot, ST CHARLES HALL, stands out as one of the most iconic venues for those seeking a villa or castle-like ambiance, reminiscent of the elegance found in Italy.

Philibert shares with us, "Our goal was to illustrate the beauty and versatility of Switzerland as a wedding destination, making it accessible and appealing to couples worldwide. Through these images, we aim to capture their imagination, showing them that a wedding in Switzerland is not just a ceremony, but an experience that combines breathtaking landscapes with unforgettable memories.

None of this would have been possible without the expertise and vision of our wedding planner, ANA TONIOLO. With her meticulous attention to detail, Ana crafted a seamless and enchanting experience for our photoshoot. Her ability to blend the natural beauty of the location with the sophisticated elements of a wedding celebration brought our vision to life. The dress from MILLIA LONDON was a masterpiece that perfectly echoed the beauty of the villa, with its flowing fabrics that danced with the mountain breezes and an elegant design that captured the essence of this iconic location. The floral designer ANDRADA MÜLLER and her assistant broke the rules by creating a stunning asymmetrical ceremony arrangement with blooming spring flowers. This unconventional setup appeals to brides who appreciate uniqueness and seek distinctive experiences.

We deeply want to inspires couples to consider Switzerland for their special day, as it truly is a place where dreams come true. With its stunning landscapes, rich culture, and unmatched romantic charm, Switzerland is a perfect canvas for a wedding that is as unique and beautiful as the love it celebrates."
