In the realm of wedding photography, where every detail holds a story, Kuenzli Photography stands as a beacon of elegance and authenticity. Founded by Mel, and powered by her two sisters, Stephanie and Emily, this Switzerland-based studio brings an unmistakable, heartfelt style to weddings worldwide. Known for its unique blend of luxury, raw emotion, and timeless style, Kuenzli Photography is redefining how love stories are told through imagery.
Mel’s journey began over 13 years ago, driven by a deep love for storytelling. Over time, she crafted Kuenzli Photography into an internationally sought-after studio that captures weddings and fashion moments with profound artistry.
"With over a decade of experience capturing exquisite destination weddings and high-fashion moments worldwide, our work is known for its timeless, artistic storytelling."
Together with her sisters, Mel forms a trio dedicated to preserving unforgettable memories. Their collective approach as a “power women team” enables them to seamlessly blend their unique talents, bringing something extraordinary to each celebration they capture.
When describing the Kuenzli aesthetic, Mel is clear about their vision: “modern, emotional, joyful, stylish, and timeless.” Their photography captures not only the beauty of each event but also the authentic, unfiltered moments that make each story unique.
For Kuenzli Photography, style goes hand-in-hand with substance. Their work is meticulously crafted to ensure that each image feels personal, elegant, and true to the couple’s experience.
Mel and her sisters rely on their Nikon cameras, trusting them to deliver the clarity and precision essential for every wedding moment. With Nikons in hand, they ensure each image is crisp, vibrant, and carefully composed, allowing their subjects’ emotions to shine naturally.
"We use our Nikons," Mel shares, reinforcing the importance of dependable, high-quality equipment in their work.
Kuenzli Photography’s editing philosophy is simple yet powerful: to enhance without altering. Their studio relies exclusively on Lightroom, ensuring each image remains authentic to the emotions felt on the wedding day.
"We do our photo edits with Lightroom only." This clean, subtle approach preserves the beauty of each shot, allowing the day’s natural emotions and energy to take center stage.
Beyond technical skill, what truly drives Mel and her sisters is the joy they bring to others. “What I love most about my work is making people happy and capturing those genuine, emotional moments that make their wedding day unforgettable.” This dedication to capturing happiness and connection is evident in every frame they produce.
By establishing a warm, personal relationship with each couple, Kuenzli Photography creates a relaxed environment where clients can be themselves. Mel’s priority is to make her clients feel at ease, and confident that their vision will be brought to life.
"Couples trust us completely because our work consistently aligns with their vision and brings their dreams to life."
Each couple’s story is unique, and Kuenzli Photography embraces this by offering personalized packages tailored to their specific desires. Whether it’s a multi-day celebration or an intimate gathering, Mel and her team are dedicated to crafting an experience that reflects the couple’s vision perfectly.
“Of course, we also work closely with our couples to create personalized packages tailored to their unique wishes and vision for the day.”
This flexibility and commitment to detail make Kuenzli Photography a trusted partner for couples who seek a deeply personal and unforgettable experience.
When it comes to preparing for the big day, Mel suggests a simple yet effective tool: mood boards. “We highly recommend using mood boards, as they are incredibly helpful in organizing and planning the photo shoot.” These boards allow clients to collect inspiration, ensuring the photography aligns with their dreams and expectations.
Living in Switzerland allows Kuenzli Photography easy access to Europe’s most breathtaking locations. Italy, with its diverse landscapes and rich culture, has a special place in their hearts, as does the allure of the Spanish islands. Mel and her team particularly enjoy photographing in Ibiza, where vibrant scenery and a relaxed atmosphere create a unique backdrop for weddings.
"We especially love photographing weddings in every part of Italy and the Spanish islands, with Ibiza being a particular favorite."
For Mel, her sisters, and their clients, Kuenzli Photography is about more than capturing beautiful images. It’s about preserving memories, emotions, and the essence of a couple’s journey together. Their work reflects a deep commitment to storytelling, ensuring each couple’s love story is told with authenticity, joy, and elegance.
Kuenzli Photography is not only redefining wedding photography; it’s creating a legacy of timeless art. And for couples who choose them, the journey begins with trust, creativity, and the promise of memories to cherish forever.
