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 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.

ABOUT. I am Elena Altendorfer. Wedding photographer in Zurich and Switzerland

I began my photo career capturing beautiful things around me. As a former interior designer I know a lot about lighting, composition, and style. But when it came time to decide what I really want to photograph, I yearned to create images with a deeper meaning—images with and about people. Something more than just a beautiful picture. I wanted to capture the stories, moments, and feelings that endure.

For the last seven years, I’ve had the privilege of documenting couples from different cultural background. They celebrate their marriage with traditions they belong to and take their relationships to a high level of commitment, exploration, and enduring love. I am there to tell the authentic story of a couple’s wedding day and the journey they took to get there. 

I’m devoted to my art, but I 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 design work with clients with different needs. I do it in individual way and communicate with them noticing the most important things from them.


LOCATIONS

As a passionate traveler I regularly visit new places and make notes for future photo locations. As I 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 not sure where your photo shoot takes place, with pleasure I give you some tips. Together we choose a perfect place and go for a walk enjoying the time.
