Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do you work with a team of photographers, videographers and drone operators?
Yes.
MAYAN STUDIO operates with a structured and reliable team to ensure complete and refined wedding coverage.
I am the lead photographer and creative director of every wedding we document. My wife is consistently present as a second photographer, bringing a complementary perspective and ensuring that no meaningful moment is missed.
Her role is not occasional — she is an integral part of our workflow. While I focus on artistic direction, structured portraits and key storytelling moments, she captures alternative angles, candid reactions and subtle emotional exchanges happening simultaneously.
This dual-photographer approach allows us to deliver a richer and more immersive visual narrative.
In addition, we collaborate regularly with three professional wedding videographers who work closely with us throughout the year. This ensures:
• Cohesive visual style between photo and video
• Fluid coordination on the wedding day
• Clear communication and synchronized timelines
• A harmonious and discreet presence
For couples seeking a complete photo and video experience in Switzerland or Europe, this structure guarantees consistency, professionalism and high production quality.
Drone coverage is also available when legally permitted and aligned with venue regulations.
Our goal is not simply to provide services — it is to deliver a seamless, luxury wedding photography and videography experience.
2. Do you have a studio or meeting space where we can meet in person?
Yes.
We welcome couples in the Montreux region, near Lake Geneva, for in-person consultations in a calm and private setting.
Meeting face-to-face allows us to understand your vision, your expectations and the atmosphere you wish to create. It also gives you the opportunity to see our albums, printed materials and previous wedding work.
For international couples planning a destination wedding in Switzerland or Europe, we regularly organize video consultations.
Building trust is essential. A wedding photographer is not simply a service provider — it is someone who will be present during the most intimate moments of your day.

3. What distinguishes you from other wedding photographers in Switzerland?
This is an important question.
What sets MAYAN STUDIO apart as a Swiss wedding photographer is the combination of:
• A formal Fine Arts education (Bachelor of Fine Arts, 2004)
• A strong editorial and luxury aesthetic
• A deep understanding of light and composition
• A personal understanding of marriage itself
My artistic background allows me to approach weddings with a refined and structured eye. I do not simply document events — I construct visual narratives.

Structure and emotion
Direction and intuition
Precision and atmosphere
I pay close attention to storytelling, capturing spontaneous moments as well as carefully composed editorial frames.
