Once-in-a-Lifetime Elopement Packages and Pricing
Stacked with your dreams, art and fresh air
By Elias Choi-Buttinger
When your celebration transcends the ordinary, your coverage should rise to meet it.
The mountains are beautiful, but for the person behind the camera, it’s not just about what you see — it’s about how you see it.
A choreographer’s eye
Around 23 years of dancing, including 12 years working professionally in contemporary dance, have shaped my understanding of movement, timing and emotion. That shapes how I guide you and how I create images that feel alive and authentic
Multicultural perspective
With a family that bridges Europe and Asia, I understand couples who want a celebration that reflects something different in the way of seeing the world
Raised in the Alps
I grew up here. I know the quiet corners and hidden gems where you can have a private, meaningful experience away from the crowds
Art-first approach
Dance, film, and music have always been part of my life. Photography is the tool I use to bring all those elements together now
A Wedding Day That Breathes
Leave all the usual wedding expectations at home.
This isn’t about pleasing anyone else — it’s about creating a day that feels like the two of you at your purest.
I’ll guide the flow, we find the right place and timeframe, and adapt if the mountains surprise us (they usually do – in one way or the other).
You walk forward together with open hearts – so that you can feel joy in every second and remember it as the day you truly chose each other.
And if you’d love a few of your favorite people beside you, we can shape the day around a celebration with them — and still have some extra time just for you two and some incredible coverage.

Hear from those who worked with me.
“You completely exceeded my expectations, and I’m genuinely so impressed with the result. You captured us in such a beautiful and natural way, and we’re both really happy with the photos.”
You definitely have something special, and I’m really happy that we had the chance to work with you!
YOUR INTIMATE CELEBRATION
The scale are the mountains
Four hours for the moments at the heart of your togetherness — from your vows to photographs that hold the two of you and the landscape together.
A considered experience, from the first call to the photographs.
Before the day
Elopement guide, personal location guidance, vendor recommendations and activity ideas to help you find your direction.
During your celebration
A story-driven timeline and four hours of artistic photography, shaped by my background in choreography, movement and film.
Afterwards
Professionally edited photographs in web and high-resolution formats, delivered in an online gallery to view and share.
BASE PACKAGE
€4,200
4 hours of photography
An intimate, artful celebration in the mountains. Space for your meaningful moments, and photographs to bring you back to them for ever.
Tell me what you’re thinking—even if you haven’t figured everything out yet. I’ll get back to you personally, and we’ll take it from there.
A Few Final Words
Choosing someone to document a day like this is not a small decision. The person behind the camera will be with you during the quiet moments, the nervous laughs, the wind in your hair on a mountain ridge, and the seconds when everything suddenly feels very real.
My role isn’t simply to take photographs. I help create an atmosphere where you can slow down, breathe, and experience the day as it unfolds. Sometimes that means guiding you gently through the landscape. Sometimes it means stepping back and letting the moment belong entirely to you.
What I care about most is that you walk away feeling that the day truly reflected who you are — not what a wedding is supposed to look like.
And years from now, when you open your gallery again, you don’t just see the mountains… you remember standing there together.
