I’m Max, an adventurous, open-minded, and ridiculously enthusiastic photographer based in Zurich, Switzerland — though you’ll mostly find me chasing love stories (and golden hour) around the world.
Getting engaged isn’t about a ring — it’s about saying yes to each other, a future together and the love you share. 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 running through the grass on a mountaintop, barefoot on a beach, or lost in a romantic city, I’m here to turn your love story into art.

First things first, let's have a chat and meet each other. It’s very important to me that we meet each other because documenting these moments is something so special and intimate – we three also need to be sure that we’re a match.
 
I'm here to help and support you during the planning and organisational part as good as possible. I love to be part of the planning & designing part of it all - it makes our experience together a very special one.
The big day is what we've come for - let's get the party started! I try to go above the beautiful images and focus on the emotional essence of each couple, ensuring that every moment is authentic and heartfelt.
 
 
Within the first week after our shoot - while you're still high on your happy feels - you'll receive some previews to enjoy. I will carefully edit and deliver your full gallery within 6-8 weeks after. You'll have a private online gallery for all of these precious moments, easy to keepsake for yourself or share with anyone you want.
From high quality photo books to handmade artwork - your photos deserve to be a looked at and felt on a daily basis. There are different options to do so and I am more than happy to help you with anything your heart desires.
 
 
“Wow--where to begin! We absolutely loved working with Max. Her passion for her art and constant willingness to go above and beyond already says it all. Just one example of this was the night before our session, there was a large storm that disrupted the railways--no problem for us, because Max worked tirelessly to help us navigate a way to get there.
What is even more remarkable is how comfortable she made us feel as she captured our special moments. We essentially had a date with a friend tagging along. The results were both beautiful and authentic. We can't recommend Max enough”
As easy as filling out this contact form here. I cannot wait to hear from you!
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.
My turn around time is usually 6-8 weeks for photo sessions such as Engagement & Proposal. But in any case, you’ll get the first sneak peeks in the first 3-5 days after your photo session for you to enjoy and already get a glimpse at what’s coming!
A date is locked and officially reserved when the non-refundable retainer has been paid and the contract has been signed.
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.
Photo Books are only included in a few specific Engagement Packages but they are always able to be ordered at any given time (up to three years after you booking/elopement with me).
YES! Anywhere. Anytime. ALWAYS!
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.
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.
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 photo sessions 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.
Yes of course. You can find some galleries of my Engagement & Proposal Photo Sessions here. I will also show you more galleries 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!
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 and more than 200 couples.
While I may not have been to your Photo Session Location before, I love being inspired by the unique beauty of each location on the day of. 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.
