Some artists document weddings. Others transform them into visual poetry.
Lee Kramer — Photographer, Filmmaker, and Creative Director behind LEE by LEE KRAMER — belongs to the second group. His work is defined by gentle elegance, emotional depth, and the kind of cinematic precision that turns fleeting moments into lasting stories.
Today, he invites us into his world.
When asked to describe how it all began, Lee shares a story rooted in curiosity and quiet passion.
I’m Lee Kramer, a Wedding Photographer, Filmmaker, and Creative Director based in Zurich, Switzerland. Over the past years, I’ve captured more than 250 weddings across Europe, blending emotional storytelling with refined aesthetics.
Photography was always his foundation — but filmmaking naturally became an extension of his craft.
“Videography has become an integral part of my creative work during the past 2 years through myself and my dedicated film team.”
His transition was never about chasing trends but about elevating how stories are told.
Lee describes his approach with the clarity of someone who knows exactly who he is as an artist.
“Cinematic, emotional, and editorial. My films are shaped by natural light, atmosphere, and genuine emotion — designed to feel timeless rather than trendy.”
This refinement is not about perfectionism — it’s about presence.
Natural movement. Honest energy. The quiet in-between moments that whisper the truth of a wedding day.
Behind the scenes, Lee and his team use tools that support storytelling — not overpower it.
“We use professional cameras from Canon with a range of prime lenses, complemented by discreet audio setups, perfect light setup and gimbals for cinematic movement.”
Everything is chosen with intention.
“Every choice in gear supports a natural, immersive storytelling approach — never intrusive, always intentional.”
The result? Films that feel like memory itself — alive, intimate, elegant.
For Lee, it always comes back to emotion.
“What I love most is translating emotions into moving visuals. Every wedding has its own rhythm, atmosphere, and energy — and capturing that essence in a film that still moves people years later is incredibly fulfilling.”
This emotional sensitivity is the heart of his work.
You can see it in the pacing of his films, the way he frames quiet touches, and how he listens to the energy of a moment before capturing it.
Lee believes that the best films are built on trust — and on understanding who the couple truly is.
“I focus on understanding the couple’s energy, story, and vision from the very beginning. Our process is collaborative but relaxed.”
The experience he creates is intentionally effortless.
“I guide them through a creative experience that feels effortless and authentic. The result is a film that truly reflects who they are, not just what happened.”
This approach shapes the atmosphere around him — calm, grounded, and artistically attentive.
Lee’s guidance is simple yet deeply true:
“Focus on what truly matters to you. Trends come and go, but emotion, atmosphere, and connection will always be timeless.”
Choosing vendors, he adds, is not just about portfolio — it's about chemistry.
“Choose vendors whose work and personality resonate with you — that chemistry will shape the energy of your entire day.”
His reply is candid, honest, and something every creative will understand:
“Be patient and stay consistent. Focus on your craft, not on comparison. Authentic growth comes from finding your own rhythm and building a brand that reflects who you are — not what others expect you to be.”
This philosophy now defines LEE by LEE KRAMER — a brand built on intention, refinement, and emotional clarity.
Although based in Zurich, Lee’s work flourishes across Europe’s most romantic landscapes.
“I regularly work on destination weddings across Switzerland, Italy, and France.”
His favorites?
“Tuscany, Lake Como and Lake Lucerne — places where atmosphere, light, and emotion come together perfectly.”
It’s easy to see how his aesthetic fits naturally into these sunlit, atmospheric settings.
Lee ends with a message filled with humility and gratitude.
“I’m grateful for every couple who trusts me and my team to capture one of the most meaningful days of their lives. My goal has always been simple — to create visual memories that feel effortless, emotional, and timeless.”
