Hey Lovebirds!

I’m Salome Sommer

Your wedding videographer in Switzerland with roots in Munich

I’m drawn to both quiet, calm moments and those full of energy. It’s this balance of lightness, emotion and genuine connection that continues to fascinate me about weddings. It’s important to me that people feel at ease. That you can truly be yourselves, without pressure, without feeling observed. Many of my couples describe working together as easy, familiar, uncomplicated. And that’s exactly how it should feel.

Based in Switzerland, with roots in Munich.

I’ve been filming weddings since 2019 and have had the privilege of joining over 150 couples on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. Every love story is unique and I love getting to know each couple and finding a way to tell their story in a film that feels completely personal to them.

I adapt to the energy of the day – calm when things become quiet, while also being the person who takes the first step when needed to bring a little lightness into the moment and help you feel at ease.

lies in presence,
in the quiet,
fleeting moments
we never want
to lose

What truly sets Salome apart is how genuine and warm she is. She doesn’t just show up with a camera – she shows up with her whole heart. Being around her felt natural and joyful, and that energy absolutely comes through in the final video.

Salome is incredible. There is no other word to describe her. She is not only kind to everyone around but she brings her light and energy to the environment. When it comes to her work, she manages to capture every single beautiful moment in an unique way, without feeling like she is in the middle.

This is how it all began…

My fascination with wedding films started when I was around 16 and discovered American wedding films on YouTube. I was instantly fascinated by how much emotion could fit into just a few minutes of film. It wasn’t only the beautiful imagery that drew me in. It was the voices, the speeches, the vows and all those little moments in between that made you feel as though you had experienced the day yourself.

In 2017, while studying Media Management, I was asked to film a wedding for the very first time. And surprisingly, it felt natural from the very beginning. I instinctively knew which moments mattered and which shots would later help tell the story. That first wedding led to more enquiries, and what had started as a fascination eventually became my profession.

Today, I get to accompany couples as a wedding videographer on one of the most personal days of their lives and capture exactly what moved me about wedding films all those years ago: the atmosphere of the day, the people and the emotions that can’t be planned or recreated.

What matters to me…

I love real moments. More often than not, it’s the little things that stay with me: a quick glance between two people, the nerves just before the ceremony, a ray of sunlight during Getting Ready, your friends laughing or someone’s voice suddenly breaking with emotion halfway through a speech.

Of course I love beautiful aesthetics, incredible locations and thoughtful details. But in the end, it’s always the real moments that give a wedding film its meaning.

That’s why my goal is to create a film that doesn’t just look beautiful today, but still takes you right back to that one day many years from now – with all the people, voices, glances and emotions that made it yours.

Away from weddings, I love being outdoors, the sunshine, spending time with my favourite people and the kind of genuine connections that make life feel meaningful. Maybe that’s also why, on a wedding day, I naturally notice what happens in between the moments and what truly matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • My wedding films are usually around 8–10 minutes long. Rather than trying to show every single moment, I focus on telling the story of your day in a way that brings back how it felt – the atmosphere, the emotions and all the little moments in between.

  • I usually accompany my couples from the getting ready through to the party, capturing all the little and big moments that make the day so special. Most importantly, I want everyone to feel completely comfortable and simply enjoy the day – that’s when the most genuine and beautiful moments happen.

  • Before your wedding, we’ll get to know each other in a relaxed Zoom call. We’ll talk about your plans, what matters most to you and what you want your day to feel like. This way, your wedding film will feel personal, natural and truly like you.

  • Your finished wedding film will usually be ready within around 8–14 weeks after your wedding. Every film is carefully edited and color graded, with close attention to music, sound and timing so everything comes together naturally.

  • Of course. Many couples choose to add the full ceremony, speeches or their first dance as separate films. We can simply see what feels right for you and your day.
    Most add-ons can also be added after the wedding.

  • I cover weddings throughout Switzerland as well as in Munich and Southern Germany. International weddings are also possible – feel free to reach out.

  • Yes, drone footage is included whenever it’s permitted at your location. I love using it to give a sense of place and to show the surroundings of your day from a different perspective. I use it quite selectively, so it feels natural and blends seamlessly into your wedding film.

  • Not at all – quite the opposite. I want you to feel comfortable and simply enjoy your day without worrying about the camera. Most of the time, I’ll just let things unfold naturally and capture the moments as they happen.
    During the getting ready and your couple shoot, I’ll of course give you a little guidance when it helps, so everything still feels relaxed, natural and completely like you.

  • My approach on a wedding day is very similar to that of a photographer – calm, unobtrusive and close to what’s happening. Many guests barely notice that I’m filming, and some even assume I’m part of the photo team.
    Behind the scenes, there’s a little more going on: sound, different perspectives and timing all play an important part in creating your wedding film. During the ceremony or speeches, I may use some additional equipment, while always keeping everything as discreet as possible so the day can unfold naturally.

  • Music plays a big part in the feeling of your wedding film, so I choose it very carefully to match your story and the atmosphere of your day. I work exclusively with licensed music, which means your film can be shared without any copyright issues. The goal is always to create something that feels cohesive, emotional and completely true to your day.

  • Many couples feel this way – and that’s completely normal.
    We’ll talk everything through beforehand, so you know what to expect. On the wedding day itself, the camera usually fades into the background very quickly because you’re simply enjoying the moment. I work in a calm and unobtrusive way, giving you space to be yourselves while capturing everything as it naturally unfolds.

  • I usually work on my own. This keeps the atmosphere calm and personal and allows me to blend naturally into the day. For you and your guests, it feels less like being filmed and that’s often when the most genuine moments happen.

    If your timeline or the logistics of the day are a little more complex, I’ll bring a second videographer. This way, we can make sure all the important moments and perspectives are covered, even with multiple locations or things happening at the same time.

  • If you’re still looking for a photographer, I’m very happy to recommend people from my network that I’ve worked with before. I also regularly work with photographers I haven’t met yet. As a wedding videographer, I always coordinate with them in advance so we can work together seamlessly and complement each other on the wedding day. So far, this has always worked out beautifully and many guests even assume that we were booked together from the start.

  • I back up your footage several times on different storage systems directly after the wedding. This way, your memories are safely stored from the very beginning and remain protected while your wedding film is being created.

  • Once your wedding date is set, it’s a good idea to get in touch. Many couples reach out around 9–18 months in advance, especially for popular dates during the wedding season. So if you already know you’d love to have me there, earlier is usually better.
