About European Romance: Switzerland
When we shoot in Switzerland, we don't just chase the scenery. We spend time scouting the light in the vineyards of Grandvaux or the quiet alleys of Zermatt to find specific corners that match your pace. It means we aren't just taking photos; we are documenting your interaction with a new place, ensuring you feel comfortable and connected while we stay in the background capturing the filmic reality of the day.
Beyond the Postcard
Many couples come to us wanting the Swiss Alps as their backdrop, but we prefer to treat the landscape as a character in your story. Whether it is a morning hike near the Matterhorn or a slow afternoon picnic by Lake Murten, our goal is to capture the feeling of the place rather than just the geography. We move away from the traditional tourist-spot photography, preferring the quiet paths where the wind and light do the talking.
Our Process in Europe
Destination shoots require intention. We work closely with you during the planning phase to understand the rhythm of your relationship. Are you two quiet and contemplative, or are you full of energy and laughter? We tailor our approach to suit that.
- Storyboarding: We don't stick to a rigid shot list. Instead, we create a loose narrative arc for your session.
- Light Scouting: We track the sun across the alpine valleys to ensure your portraits are bathed in the golden, dramatic light characteristic of our style.
- Cinematic Focus: Alongside your portraits, we capture film clips that weave together the sounds of the mountains and the gentle cadence of your conversations.
The Result
What you receive is not just a gallery of images, but a visual journal of your time together. We combine editorial, high-fashion portraiture with raw, unscripted candid moments. If you are looking for a pre-wedding shoot that feels like a shared memory rather than a staged production, this is where we begin.
SeventybyTwo
We are Hardik and Rima, and we believe that a destination shoot should feel like a getaway, not a production set. When we are in Switzerland, we are mostly just watching how you exist together in these new, beautiful spaces, stepping in only to frame the light and the moment.
