HEY LOVEBIRDS,
it's me
MAX
I’m Max, an adventurous, open-minded, and ridiculously enthusiastic elopement photographer based in Zurich, Switzerland — though you’ll mostly find me chasing love stories (and golden hour) around the world.
Eloping isn’t about skipping the big wedding — it’s about celebrating your love, your way. And that’s exactly what I capture: raw emotions, belly laughs, happy tears, and those quiet, breathtaking moments in between.
With me, you’re getting more than a photographer — you’re getting a hype person, a dance partner, and someone who’ll crack a dark-humor joke to keep things real.
Whether you're exchanging vows on a mountaintop, barefoot on a beach, or lost in a romantic city, I’m here to turn your love story into art.

FAQ's
How can we book you for our elopement?
As easy as filling out this contact form here. I cannot wait to hear from you!
How would you describe your photography style?
I'd describe my photography style as real & intentional and my editing focusing on the essence of the actual colors that were around with a touch of vibrance.
How long does it take to receive our photos?
My turn around time is usually 8-10 weeks. But in any case, you’ll get the first sneak peeks in the first 3-5 days after your elopement for you to enjoy and already get a glimpse at what’s coming!
How do I lock in my desired date?
A date is locked and officially reserved when the non-refundable retainer has been paid and the contract has been signed.
How do I receive my photos?
I deliver all of my photos in a personal online gallery - with additional options to download high-&low-resolution photos. Guests access links is inlcuded.
Will I receive a USB?
Packages starting at 8 hours have a Wedding Box included which consists of a few prints and an USB with all the high-res photos on it. The USB is mostly for an additional storing medium (because safety first) in case of any system crashes or other damages.
When is the best time for couple portraits?
The beauty of eloping is that we can design the day exactly how you want it—without the pressure of a traditional schedule. The best time for portraits is usually during the golden hour, either just after sunrise or in the hour before sunset, when the light is soft and dreamy. Another beautiful option is right after your First Look, allowing for an intimate moment before your ceremony. However, since this day is entirely about you, we can plan your portraits at the perfect time to match your vision, location, and the mood you want to capture.
How much time is needed for couple portraits?
Usually around 60 minutes depending on what you'd like to do and if travel is necessary.
Is there a Photo Book included?
Photo Books are only included in a few specific Elopement Packages but they are always able to be ordered at any given time (up to three years after you booking/elopement with me).
Are you willing to travel?
YES! Anywhere. Anytime. ALWAYS!
Who will be the photographer shooting on the day?
In 95% of the cases I'll be the one shooting on the day - sometimes I'll have a trusted photographer friend with me if the schedule might be too challenging for only myself.
In on of the 5%, I'll be having one of my trusted photographer friends come in my name with my guidance. I'll still be your number one contact point and I'll also be the one editing your photos.
How will you edit our images?
When I say edited photos, this includes color adjustments and other necessary changes. I try to be super real with my photography style and I am all in for the real and true you. Retouching isn't included and does not align with my photography style. It's about the real and raw YOU.
How many hours do you cover?
My Weekend Photography Packages start at 8 hours and end at 12 hours.
During the week, I'm bookable starting at 2 hours up to 12 hours as well.
There are a few different rules for international elopements as it includes travel etc. But get in contact if you'd like to know more and if you'd like me to explain some more.
Can we see full galleries of a few of your recent elopements?
Yes of course. You can find some galleries of my elopements here. I will also show you more galleries of elopements after we've had our first call together so you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into here. So make sure to get in contact here right away so we can start this adventure together!
How long have you been doing wedding/elopement photography?
I started a couple of years ago with some smaller weddings. Since 2019 I am dedicated Photographer that specialised in Weddings & Elopements which means I have 6+ years of experience photographing more than 100 weddings.
What if you haven’t been to our Elopement location before?
While I may not have been to your Elopement Location before, I love being inspired by the unique beauty of each location on the day of the Elopement. The light, the sun, and the setting can change depending on the season, so I make sure to scout out the best spots as soon as I arrive. This allows us to stay flexible and spontaneous, capturing your day in the best possible way.
How many Elopements do you cover per year?
As I only take up to 15 big wedding bookings per year (big wedding: 8+ hours) but only a maximum of three big weddings per month, my availability for Elopements is around 5 per year. This way I can concentrate on my couples and support them as much as possible. Quality over quantity – that’s the key for me.
