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.

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.

Your most common questions, answered

Frequently Asked Questions

  • My wedding films are usually around 8–10 minutes long. The focus is not on showing everything, but on telling the emotional flow of your day in a way that allows you to truly relive it.

  • I usually accompany you from the getting ready until the party. It’s especially important to me that you and your guests feel comfortable – this is what allows the most genuine and beautiful moments to unfold.

  • Before your wedding, we’ll get to know each other in a Zoom call. In this conversation, I learn what matters to you, how you envision your day, and what connects you. This is how a wedding film is created that truly reflects who you are.

  • You will usually receive your finished wedding film within approximately 8–14 weeks after your wedding. Each film is carefully edited, color graded, and crafted with great attention to music, sound, and timing.

  • Of course. Many couples choose to add the full ceremony, full speeches, or the first dance as separate films. We’ll find what suits you and your day best.

    Most add-ons can also be booked 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 always included, as long as it is permitted at your location. For a wedding film, the perspective from above often adds a beautiful sense of space and helps place your day in its surroundings. I use it carefully and intentionally so it blends naturally into your film.

  • Not at all – quite the opposite. It’s important to me that you feel comfortable and experience your day as you are. As a wedding videographer, I mostly work without staged scenes and capture moments as they naturally unfold.

    You can simply focus on your day and your guests and feel free to ignore me. During your couple shoot, I’ll gently guide you so that natural moments can emerge.

  • From the outside, my presence is often similar to a photographer – calm, unobtrusive, and close to what’s happening. Many guests hardly notice that I’m filming; some even think I’m a second photographer. Behind the scenes, there is more involved: sound, different perspectives, and timing all play an important role in creating a high-quality wedding film. During the ceremony or speeches, I may use additional equipment, while always keeping everything as discreet as possible so the atmosphere of your day remains untouched.

  • Music is a central part of your wedding film and is carefully selected by me to match your story. I work exclusively with licensed music, so your film can be shared and used safely in the long term. This creates a cohesive film that carries the emotions of your day.

  • Many couples feel this way – and that’s completely normal.

    We’ll talk about everything beforehand so you know what to expect. On the wedding day itself, the camera usually fades into the background quickly because you’re fully in the moment. I work in a calm and unobtrusive way and capture what feels natural to you.

  • I usually work on my own. This keeps the atmosphere calm and personal, allowing me to blend naturally into the day. For you and your guests, it feels less like being filmed – and that’s exactly what creates those real, unposed moments. At the same time, my experience and way of working ensure that all important perspectives are captured for your wedding film.

  • 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 – many guests even assume that we were booked together from the start.

  • I work with multiple storage systems and back up your footage several times directly after the wedding. This ensures that your memories are safely stored.

  • Most couples secure their date 9–18 months in advance, especially for popular dates during the high season. I recommend reaching out as early as possible.
