September in Switzerland brings golden alpine light, charming mountain villages, and breathtaking views of the surrounding Alps. From dramatic mountain backdrops to scenic overlooks and picturesque surroundings, the changing season creates a beautiful contrast of warm golden tones and crisp mountain air.

It's a place to slow down, embrace the beauty of the landscape, and create something unforgettable against the stunning scenery of the Swiss Alps as summer begins to fade into fall.

What we have

PLANNED

 6 ELOPEMENTS / 2 CASUAL SHOOTS / 8 SHOOTS 

You'll photograph six full elopement-style stories and two relaxed, documentary-driven sessions, working closely with couples throughout the retreat. Each experience is thoughtfully designed to capture the feeling of a Switzerland elopement through intentional storytelling, beautiful details, natural movement, and the surrounding scenery.

From breathtaking mountain views and scenic overlooks to charming village settings and intimate moments between couples, each shoot offers a unique opportunity to create imagery inspired by the beauty of Switzerland.

You'll leave with a body of work that feels honest, immersive, and deeply connected to your creative vision. Images that capture the atmosphere of the destination, the emotion of each story, and the quiet moments in between.

A Note on Locations
Styled shoot locations and settings are selected based on accessibility, local regulations, weather conditions, and any required permissions. Specific landscapes, viewpoints, and shooting areas are subject to availability and permitted access. Final locations may be adjusted when necessary.

8 Fully Styled Shoots

This retreat is built around experiencing Switzerland through its breathtaking scenery, charming villages, and ever-changing mountain landscapes. It's an opportunity to slow down, stay present, and let the surroundings inspire the way you create.
You'll photograph across a thoughtfully curated selection of scenic settings and beautiful backdrops, with six elopement-inspired stories and two relaxed, documentary-style sessions. Each experience is guided but never forced. There's space to move naturally, connect honestly, and let moments unfold as they are instead of trying to create something staged.
Throughout every shoot, you'll receive clear and practical direction while having room to experiment, ask questions, and refine your approach. We'll focus on reading natural light, working with available surroundings, and creating imagery that feels immersive, timeless, and deeply connected to the experience.
Lodging is intentionally chosen to give you space to rest and reset while still creating opportunities for connection and meaningful conversation. The pace feels full but never overwhelming, allowing you to stay present and genuinely enjoy the experience as it unfolds.
You'll leave with a body of work that feels cohesive and alive, a deeper appreciation for photographing destination elopements, and imagery you can confidently carry into your own photography business.

SO, WHATS INCLUDED?

You’ll arrive with clarity and confidence. From mountain access and scenic routes to shoot locations, everything is designed to help you make the most of your time in Switzerland.



You’ll be added to a private group chat with the other attendees ahead of the retreat. It’s a space to connect, ask questions, coordinate travel if needed.

You'll leave with a gallery of imagery that reflects what photographing couples in Switzerland can look and feel like — from beautiful destination settings to intimate, meaningful moments.

This experience is intentionally kept small. Just space to slow down, pay attention, and create with intention. You'll photograph alongside a close group of artists, with opportunities to connect, share ideas, and create in an environment that feels collaborative rather than competitive.

Attendee Group Chat

We’ll start with a relaxed meet and greet, then ease into slow mornings and afternoons when we arent shooting. Just enough intention to keep the focus on connection, creativity, and being fully present in the experience.




Guidance is available throughout the retreat if you need it. During shoots or back at the house, there’s space for questions, feedback, and open conversation around your workflow, creative direction, and navigating destination work abroad.

The goal is clarity without pressure, support without overwhelm, and conversations that feel practical, honest, and actually useful long after you return home.

Shared Time

Guidance and Open Conversation

This experience is shared with photographers who are in a similar season of their work. You’ll spend intentional time alongside people who understand the pace, the questions, and where you’re headed.

Your accommodations are fully covered for the duration of the retreat, with stays thoughtfully chosen among Switzerland.

All accommodations are shared among attendees. Sleeping arrangements may vary by property and can include multiple single beds in a shared room or shared beds. Private rooms are available for an additional fee, subject to availability.
