ELENA ALTENDORFER
I`am a passionate photographer who always has ideas how to present you and your greatest day and I truly love my work. I am always creating, studying, and living with wanderlust. Drawing on my decade of experience in design, I photograph ethereal, painterly portraits, capture fleeting`, emotional moments in a natural and authentic way that seem to freeze both time and emotion. I enjoy every place I visit, and love to meet new people from different cultures.

I began my photo career capturing beautiful things around me. As a former interior designer, I have a strong foundation in lighting, composition, and aesthetics. But when it came time to decide what I truly wanted to photograph, I yearned to create images with a deeper meaning—images with and about people. Something more than just beautiful images. I wanted to tell the stories filled with emotions, meaning and conections that endure.
For the past eight years, I’ve had the privilege of documenting couples from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. They celebrate their weddings with traditions they belong to and take their relationships to a high level of commitment, exploration, and enduring love. I`am honored to tell the authentic story of their wedding day and the journey that led them there.
I’m devoted to my art, but simultaneously value my client’s experience and the impact of my work above all. In a quest for photography with meaning, images that capture fleeting moments, and oft-forgotten details, I apply principles and practices I’ve developed in my interior design work with clients with different needs. I approach each wedding individually, communicating with you noticing your most important needs, and paying close attention to what matters to you.
LOCATIONS
As a passionate traveler, I`m regularly discovering new places and noting future photo locations. As I am based in Switzerland I know a lot about local mountains and lakes which are the best background for your beautiful wedding images. If you are still unsure where your photo shoot takes place, I`ll be happy to share ideas and help you choose the perfect spot. Together we`ll go for a walk, enjoying the moment, and create something truly special.
