I'm Emma Wilson from Story Of Your Day, a photographer based in the Swiss Alps, living and working in the Jungfrau region of Wengen, Grindelwald and the Lauterbrunnen Valley. 
 
I've spent over 15 years in the wedding industry as a storytelling filmmaker, with a background as a BBC-trained video journalist. That experience now shapes how I photograph proposals, engagement shoots, elopements, and deeply personal moments. 
 
I bring that same narrative instinct into my photography. My work isn't about staged moments or editorial perfection. It's about real people, real emotion, and what actually unfolds on the day.. My approach is documentary and story-led, focused on real emotion as it unfolds rather than posed or heavily styled imagery. 
 
My work is ideal for couples who value authenticity over performance, and emotion over perfection. I photograph what matters, not what's staged. 
Being truly local gives me a deep understanding of this landscape. The light. The seasons. The logistics.  
 
Being truly local is central to my work. Through long-standing relationships within the community, I'm able to guide couples to intimate, private locations for proposals and vow moments - often on land not accessible to visitors. This brings a sense of calm, privacy, and genuine joy to couples who want something meaningful and discreet in a place that can otherwise feel overwhelming. 
 
I photograph with a filmmaker's eye, anticipating moments, reading situations, and capturing connection without intrusion. I also support couples beyond photography, offering thoughtful planning guidance, local insight, and reassurance throughout the experience. 
 
I'm 'Swisstainable' registered and deeply committed to my community, working responsibly within the Alps and alongside local suppliers to protect the landscapes that define this region. 
 
If you're looking for photography that feels intimate, authentic, and deeply rooted in place, you're in the right hands. And for couples who want both photography and videography, I often capture the story in both formats, offering a seamless, story-led approach without compromise.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I’m based in Wengen, in the Jungfrau region of the Swiss Alps. 
I live and work across Wengen, Grindelwald, Mürren, and the Lauterbrunnen Valley. 
There is no travel fee within Switzerland. 
For work further afield, travel is quoted transparently and kept simple.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I’ve spent over 15 years working professionally in the wedding industry as an international wedding filmmaker. 
Before that, I worked as a Pioneer BBC Video Journalist for 20 years. I’ve photographed weddings, elopements, and proposals across Switzerland and Europe for many years. 
My background is rooted in long-form documentary storytelling, with extensive experience leading projects solo and working discreetly in high-pressure, emotional environments.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

Documentary. Story-led. Unobtrusive. 
 
I photograph what actually happens, not what’s staged. 
Real emotion. Real connection. Real moments. 
 
My images aren’t heavily graded. 
I use a very light preset, staying close to true tone, so the colours, light, and atmosphere genuinely reflect the day as it was. 
 
I work with a filmmaker’s eye. 
Anticipating moments. Reading situations. Staying out of the way. 
 
This work suits couples who value authenticity over performance and emotion over perfection.

Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?

I don’t have a traditional studio. 
Most couples meet me online before booking. 
 
For local clients or those already in the region, I’m always happy to meet in person when it makes sense.

Is there anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

Being truly local matters. 
 
I have deep knowledge of this landscape. 
The light. The seasons. The logistics. 
 
Through long-standing relationships in the community, I can guide couples to quiet, meaningful locations, often away from crowds and sometimes on private land not accessible to visitors. 
 
I’m also Swisstainable registered and committed to working responsibly within the Alps, alongside local suppliers who care deeply about protecting this region. 
 
If you want photography that feels calm, intimate, and deeply rooted in place, you’re in the right hands. 
And for couples who want both photography and videography, I often capture the story in both formats, seamlessly and without compromise.

Emma is the absolute best!! I found her last minute and she was super accommodating! Such a lovely person and she made us feel super comfortable while taking photos! If you’re on the fence, let this be your sign to do it! Worth every penny!

Our experience with Emma and Story Of Your Day was nothing short of magical. Emma went above and beyond to capture our special proposal moment, meticulously planning every detail to perfection. What made this experience genuinely unforgettable was the way she welcomed us into her world, making us feel like we had always belonged. We didn’t just find a talented photographer and planner, we found a wonderful new friend. We couldn't recommend Emma more highly. See you at the next event!
