Wild Souls United elopements - Ma love

”The original plan? A helicopter tour to a glacier, champagne, trottibikes, a mountain-top ceremony, and stargazing under the Milky Way.
Mother Nature’s plan? Rain, thick clouds, and unseasonal snow dipping low into the valley. 🌧️❄️

When you plan a destination elopement in the Swiss Alps in May, the mountains always have the final say. But here is the secret to an unforgettable wedding day: it’s not about the weather. It’s about the person holding your hand and the people you celebrate with.

When the storm rolled in A&C didn’t skip a beat. Instead of plan A, we embraced the mood and explored the dramatic, misty depth of the glacier gorges on day one, followed by a cozy dinner with their closest family.

By the second morning, the weather was still a guessing game, and snow was blocking our path. So, we pivoted. We changed the ceremony location, ripped up the timeline, replanned on the fly... and honestly? It turned out to be the most magical, breathtaking day we could have ever dreamed up.

This gallery is proof that when you let go of perfection, you make room for real magic. Swipe through to see how a rainy Swiss forecast turned into the ultimate alpine fairytale. 🇨🇭🏔️

Thank you so much A&C (and family) for being the most amazing humans and I’m so grateful for your trust in me designing and documenting your May elopement in Switzerland!

Z&J ‘ s slideshow of their magical Swiss October elopement!

October is if you ask me the most magical month to elope in Switzerland. 🍂✨
Ok, some places are already closed for the season so everything may not be possible. And yes, you need to be ready for moody weather and even perhaps a little first snow. Buuuut….
Here’s why autumn elopements in the Swiss Alps are so special:
- The larch forests turn a stunning golden yellow — the mix with turqoise mountain lakes and white peaks in the back ground is just magical.
- First snow on the peaks = epic contrast and dreamy photos
- ⁠The month with the highest chances of misty mornings and cloud inversion (like this one)
- Fewer crowds means more intimate, relaxed moments
- Crisp air and Soft golden light lasts longer

Whether you’re picturing Wallis, the Bernese Oberland, Graubünden, or a hidden valley nobody’s heard of — a Switzerland elopement in October is it.

Is this is your dream day? Drop a comment 🍂👇🏻

L&S’s October elopement as slide show! ❤️

Let’s talk about October elopements in the Alps! IMO it’s the prettiest month by far.

October is an amazing choice for a Swiss mountain elopement! It’s that perfect ”sweet spot” where you get vibrant autumn colours and peace and quiet before the ski crowds arrive.
Here’s the straight talk on what to expect:
The Vibe: Think golden larch trees, crisp air, and the first dusting of snow on the peaks. It’s very romantic and looks incredible in photos because the sun sits lower, giving you soft, ”golden hour” light all day.
The Weather: It can definitely get chilly. You’re looking at around 5–15°C (40–60°F) in the valleys, but it can drop below freezing at the summits. You’ll want layers and a stylish coat or a warm wrap and even more at night. Be prepared for snow.

Top Spots October elopements:

Zermatt: For that iconic Matterhorn backdrop.

The Engadin Valley: Famous for having the best golden forests in the country.

Vallis- orange valleys and turquoise lakes…

Dolomites & Chamonix!

And a couple of my hidden gems that I will tell you when you book. 🙃

A Heads Up: Late October is ”shoulder season.” This means some cable cars and mountain hotels might close for a quick break before winter.

Happy anniversary you amazing people! 🥰✨ Your elopement was high on everything!
April elopements can be really tricky, but when done fully you can get both the winter snow and the spring flowers all in a 2 day plan! You just combine high and low altitude locations and you get it all.

K&C’s one request for their Zermatt vow renewal? Ice. 🧊

So, that’s exactly what we planned. We spent two days soaking up every bit of the Zermatt snowy mountains with intention and a lot of heart. From emotional vows with a Matterhorn view to a helicopter tour topped with champagne (and some in the eye 🥂🤪).

We walked old town Zermatt, spent the night in an igloo (complete with a whirlpool bath and stars), went for night time mountain adventures with snowshoeing under the night sky and stargazing. And we wrapped it all up with a backcountry ski tour into deep ice caves. Every moment felt like the most magic adventure!

Thank you so much K&C for your trust to co-plan, documents and live all these epic moments!

Stay tuned and follow to see their full vow-renewal-story! 💍✨🥂💃🏻🕺🚁🧊🏔️⛷️🫕

Planning a micro wedding in the Swiss Alps often means choosing between a private moment and a big celebration. B&M decided to do both.

This is their story about their adventure wedding in Zermatt, starting with a morning helicopter flight over the Monte Rosa massif. We got an incredible view of the Matterhorn before landing on a high-altitude peak for their private vow exchange.

What did they include in their Zermatt wedding day:

The Heli flight: A private tour around the highest peaks in Switzerland.

The Vows: A quiet moment alone on the mountain.

The Ceremony: Joining the family for a snowy ceremony and champagne.

The Skiing: Hitting the Zermatt slopes in wedding gear and celebrations in the Iglu.

Zermatt is one of the few places in the world where you can combine a high-altitude adventure with a classic family celebration all in one day.

They Googled "vow renewal ideas." They ended up in a helicopter over the Matterhorn.

K & C knew one thing: they wanted a second wedding. No big party. Just the two of them, the Swiss Alps, and a two-day adventure they'd never stop talking about.

Here's what we pulled off in Zermatt 👇

- Private helicopter ride around the Matterhorn → champagne landing on their own mountain
- Intimate vow renewal ceremony with no audience except the Alps
- Video call with family by the Gornergrat glacier (because love includes family, even from afar)
- Skied down to check in at the Iglu ice hotel
- Private whirlpool bath in their igloo suite. Matterhorn view. Need I say more?
- Fondue in the ice bar → moonlit snowshoe tour → schnapps → stargazing → fireside in a Kota hut
- Enjoying the Sunset and Sunrise. Breakfast at Riffelhaus. Backcountry ski to some ice caves.

This is what happens when you throw out the rulebook and just go for it.
If you're searching for vow renewal ideas that feel like YOU — adventurous, intimate, no guests required — this is your sign. I plan and photograph elopements + vow renewals in the Swiss Alps, start to finish.
