Our 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
As a dancer and Chorographer I spent decades working with 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 hears – so that you can feel joy in every second and remember it as the day you truly chose each other.

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.
