Hi, I’m Nikolett

 

An expat who has called Switzerland home for more than seven years.

When I first moved here, I bought my very first camera to document the hikes my husband and I took through the breathtaking Swiss landscape. We spent countless weekends exploring quiet, wild trails far from the crowds, always drawn to the sense of freedom the mountains gave us.

Somewhere along the way, photographing nature on its own started to feel a little empty. I wanted more connection: love, laughter, emotion, and the stories that make people who they are.

That’s where the spark for photographing all forms of love in the Alps began.

Kind Words

"We had our couples/engagement photoshoot with Niki in the Alps, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

 

The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and the session was incredibly easy and enjoyable, time just flew by, we loved it.

Neither of us had done a photoshoot before, but Niki guided us through with patience and made us feel comfortable. She chose the perfect location and also helped us with our outfit choices!

We’re so happy with the results and would highly recommend Niki to anyone looking for an effortless and enjoyable photoshooting experience."

More than your photographer

Planning a photo session or elopement in Switzerland can feel daunting, especially if you’re coming from abroad. Which location should you choose? How accessible is it? How does the train or cable car system work? When should you arrive to catch the best light? And how do you find those beautiful places that aren’t packed with people?

I remember what it felt like not to know any of this.

Over the years, I’ve built up a deep knowledge of the Swiss mountains and the little details that can make a big difference to your experience. I’ve hiked hundreds of kilometres across Switzerland, and explored the mountains in every kind of situation as a couple, during pregnancy with limited mobility, and later with babies and young children.

I`m here to help you create a seamless mountain experience.

From building a custom timeline and explaining exactly how the trains, mountain railways and cable cars work, to finding the right location for your vision and arranging private land access when needed.
