Switzerland Elopement

Epic Multi-day Elopement in Switzerland

Tracy & Carlos’ Dreamy Multi-Day Elopement in Switzerland

Day 1: The Glacier Express Experience

Our Switzerland elopement adventure began with a flight into Zurich, followed by a breathtaking train journey to St. Moritz. After a restful night to recover from the long flight, we were ready to embark on the legendary Glacier Express to Zermatt. If you’re planning an elopement in Switzerland, the Glacier Express is a must-do. Be sure to book your tickets and reservations well in advance, as this epic journey is incredibly popular. For the best views on the route from St. Moritz to Zermatt, grab a window seat on the left side of the train. The 8-hour ride offers a visual feast of Switzerland’s most stunning landscapes, paired with delicious food and drinks—a perfect start to your Switzerland Elopement.

Day 2: Zermatt

Arriving in Zermatt felt like stepping into a dream. This charming town, nestled at the base of the iconic Matterhorn, is the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable elopement in Switzerland. Zermatt is surrounded by breathtaking mountain views, and the atmosphere is incredibly romantic. We were initially concerned about the weather, but the skies cleared just in time for the ceremony, revealing the Matterhorn in all its glory. The day was sunny and warm, creating the ideal conditions for a magical elopement in the Swiss Alps.

Day 3: The Igloo Adventure Session

The day after the elopement, we embarked on an Igloo Adventure Session, adding a unique touch to their Switzerland elopement experience. We took a scenic train ride up to the peak of the mountain, where our guide led us to the igloos. This unforgettable experience offered stunning views of the Matterhorn, complemented by warm cups of gluhwein (mulled wine). The igloos, with their intricately designed interiors, fur-lined beds, and cozy sleeping bags, provided a perfect setting for an adventurous post-elopement celebration. The evening ended with a thrilling snowshoe hike to a mountain peak, where we toasted with shots of schnapps under the stars. If you’re eloping in Zermatt, a stay at Iglu-Dorf is a must for an unforgettable adventure.

Day 4: Cultural Fusion and a Stunning Turquoise Lake in Interlaken

For the second half of their Switzerland elopement, Tracy and Carlos chose a stunning location in Interlaken by the turquoise waters of Lake Brienz. Tracy wore a traditional Vietnamese wedding dress, while Carlos donned a traditional Filipino barong, symbolizing the blending of their cultures against the picturesque backdrop of Switzerland. They walked hand-in-hand through a charming European street, leading to the breathtaking lake. The ceremony was a beautiful fusion of cultures and traditions, and the stunning turquoise waters of Lake Brienz made it even more memorable. They exchanged vows and shared their first dance by the lake, making their dream of a Switzerland elopement come true.

alexis & blake,
italy multi-day elopement

Beyond her incredible work, she is truly a wonderful human being inside and out. What made the experience even more special was how she made every step of the planning feel custom and tailored just for us as a couple. She is thoughtful and intentional—not only with what she captures through her lens but also behind the scenes in ways you might not even realize.  On top of it all, Sheryl goes above and beyond. She is professional, reliable, and trustworthy—qualities that made us feel completely confident and at ease every step of the way. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made the whole journey effortless and joyful. We are grateful for the beautiful memories she captured. These photos are not just pictures—they’re a timeless treasure we will cherish forever.

From our first call, I could feel Sheryl’s excitement and passion for what she did. As a type A girly, I loved how organized and detailed Sheryl was. From her intake form to our Zoom calls to texts and emails back-and-forth, I knew Sheryl would carry out our day exactly how we envisioned it. And she did just that! We are over the moon at how our photos turned out. Sheryl was our biggest hype man, kept us (mainly me) calm and collected when things didn’t pan out the way we expected, and weathered every storm with grace.  She captured our day perfectly.

From planning out our adventures, and even scouting the day before at each location, she helped with everything. She was always in constant communication from the first day we reached out to her, till the day that our gallery was sent to us. Our photos truly captured the pure bliss and love that we felt in each moment, and we will cherish them forever. We were so comfortable with traveling with Sheryl throughout our multi-day elopement, and had so much fun as well! We truly don't know what magic Sheryl has in her, as well as those cameras of hers, but every picture was so magically beautiful, and we love her so much (I mean, she even slept in an igloo for us, how could we not?!).
