Snow & delicacy, an elopement in the Wallis mountains. This inspiration shows how different and mesmerising a winter wedding can be. Despite the cold, the warmth magnifies a union, a celebration that celebrates the love of two people.

This elopement took place on March 14th, in the mountains of Monthey, in an unusual and luxurious hotel in the canton of Wallis. This event is an inspiration. I am a wedding photographer, but I especially like winter weddings. It shows a feeling of fullness, of bliss during winter unions. The snow highlights the love of the couple, magnifies the landscapes. Shared emotions are so much stronger! Let’s be honest, cold warms hearts!

That’s why I started this collaboration. Bringing together the best wedding service providers in Switzerland was essential for me. But what is even more important and that every time I take my camera to photograph you and freeze the important moments of your life, is to offer you an unprecedented experience. Getting married can be organized differently, outdoors in winter, in a small committee or at night under the stars, in the heart of the mountains. So big and majestic for an equally exceptional wedding!!

In the meantime, I let you discover the photos and the video of this beautiful day! A beautiful walk that was full of snow and delicacy! Oh yes before I forget! Impossible to finish this article without telling you! you know what? « L’apprentie Mariée » just published us on her blog! Don’t hesitate to read her article! I loved what she said! Thank you Clélia!!!

A civil wedding on the shores of Lake Léman in the small village of Hermance

A civil wedding on the shores of Lake Léman in the small village of Hermance is the sweet moment of K & F that I present to you today. Their civil marriage in a small committee, far from the stress of the big day, took place in mid-December in the small lake village of the canton of Geneva. The first snowfall covered the area, the weather is mild. I join the family and the bride and groom in the courtyard of the pretty town hall of Hermance. We go up to the top floor, in the wedding hall. It is a large wooded and vaulted room, highlighting the beautiful curves of a deliciously architectured framework. The ceremony takes place in two languages because the bride is from Eastern Europe. A translator is there to allow the family to understand the words of the Mayor. The ceremony is filled with beautiful emotions, sweet looks, smiles, and a few tears. Then we go down to the courtyard to immortalize the moment with a group photo. And we head to the Auberge d’Hermance where a colourful cocktail awaits the newlyweds and their guests.

I have a beautiful table decoration waiting for me. I enjoy photographing its details. The light is beautiful. It is elegant. It magnifies the gold that adorns the crockery. The cardinal red, purple of the flowers adds a note of poetry to this set.

We even take advantage of a ray of sunshine to take pictures of couples. The first meeting after the family exchanges, then congratulations, the moment of breathing, and the reunion of the couple. I love this moment because they discover themselves as husband and wife. The look changes. It’s fun to call yourself Sir or Madam. We stroll through the charming streets of this small town after a detour by the lake and the sublime winter light that shines on the lake. I leave you after these few words with the photographic report of this sweet day. Meet me on my instagram! Or contact-me!

Burgundy & good mood for a day after in the mountains

Marie-Montibert-Photo-Mariage-Montagne-4Vallees-Siviez-Nendaz-Hiver-Neige-24

It is in Burgundy & in good mood for a « day after » at the mountain where I met Natalie & Florian. A young, sporty, and full of humanity couple with whom I spent a beautiful afternoon at the top of the ski area of Siviez, a small resort close to Nendaz on the area of the 4 valleys for a short walk in the conifers.

But what is a « day after »? It can also be called an after wedding session, in French « une séance photo après le mariage ». It means that we choose a place other than the one where we are married, another season possibly, a different atmosphere and even the dress style can be diverse. A wedding dress does not necessarily confine you to the only effect of immaculate whiteness! To the rock n roll attitude for example!!!

Stop talking, let’s go to the photos of Natalie & Florian, who live in Valais and who have put on leather jackets and after-skis for this unforgettable session, a little reminder of their wedding but in the middle of winter! It is the floral workshop Les Herbes Folles in Bramois that made this beautiful bouquet in Burgundy (Bordeaux for the uninitiated) with anemones and eucalyptus! A pure miracle…
