LA MODE DU VRAI, L'ÉLÉGANCE DU PRÉSENT
INTRO
Choosing your wedding photographer is not only about images.
It is about trust, presence, and the ability to capture moments that will never happen again.
At MAYAN STUDIO, we approach every wedding with calm, precision and sensitivity, creating a balance between editorial aesthetics and genuine emotion.
We work with couples who value elegance, authenticity and a timeless aesthetic.
Each celebration is approached with the same level of care, whether it takes place in Switzerland, France, Italy, Portugal or elsewhere in Europe.
OUR APPROACH
We believe the best photographs happen when you feel comfortable and confident.
Our role is to guide when needed,
to step back when the moment is natural,
and to create images that feel effortless but intentional.
We pay attention to light, composition and atmosphere, while allowing emotions to unfold freely.
This balance between direction and spontaneity is what gives our work its editorial and timeless character.
We photograph weddings as a duo.
This allows us to capture different perspectives at the same time —
the big moments, the subtle gestures, the atmosphere, the details.
During preparations, ceremony and reception, having two photographers ensures that nothing is missed and that the story remains complete and coherent.
Our presence is calm, discreet when needed, and supportive when guidance is required.
WORK AS A TEAM
What You Can Expect From Us
Planning a wedding — whether a luxury wedding in Switzerland, a destination celebration on Lake Geneva, or an elegant ceremony in Montreux — requires precision, trust and artistic vision.
Our involvement begins long before the wedding day.
Personalized Questionnaire – Understanding Who You Are
Before your wedding, we send a detailed and thoughtful questionnaire designed to understand who you truly are.
However, our process goes far beyond a simple form.
We also invite you to a personal consultation at our studio in Montreux, Switzerland.
This in-person meeting allows us to:
• Get to know you beyond the practical details
• Understand your personalities and dynamics
• Discuss your vision and aesthetic preferences
• Review the timeline together
• Align on expectations and storytelling direction
For destination couples planning a luxury wedding in Switzerland, this meeting can also be held via video consultation when travel is not possible.
As a Montreux-based wedding photographer, I strongly believe that connection creates better imagery.
The more we understand your story, the more refined, emotional and authentic your wedding photography will be.
This step ensures that when your wedding day arrives, everything flows naturally — because we are not strangers documenting your event.
We are professionals who truly understand your vision.
Technical Venue Visit (Within Switzerland)
For weddings taking place in Switzerland — especially in Montreux, Vevey or the Lake Geneva region — we conduct a technical venue visit in advance.
We evaluate:
• Natural light direction
• Portrait locations
• Golden hour positioning
• Logistical flow
• Backup options for weather conditions
This preparation ensures complete mastery of your luxury wedding environment.
Nothing is improvised.
WhatsApp Group with All Vendors
Clear coordination is essential for a seamless wedding experience.
We create a dedicated WhatsApp group including:
• Wedding planner
• Videographers
• DJ
• Venue coordinator
• Key suppliers
This enables:
• Efficient timeline coordination
• Last-minute adjustments
• Real-time communication
• Structured organization
Particularly for destination weddings in Switzerland, this ensures smooth collaboration among international teams.
Elegant Direction & Authentic Moments
On your wedding day, you can expect:
• Clear and calming communication
• Gentle editorial guidance
• Natural emotional moments
• Structured yet discreet presence
As a Montreux-based wedding photographer, I balance artistic direction with authentic storytelling.
The result is elegant, timeless wedding imagery with emotional depth.
Meticulous Editing & Cohesive Storytelling
After the wedding, a detailed curation and editing process begins.
Each image is:
• Carefully selected
• Professionally color-balanced
• Edited with natural skin tones
• Integrated into a cohesive narrative
Your final gallery is designed as a visual journey — not simply a collection of photographs.
Exceptional Wedding Albums
We offer high-end, handcrafted luxury wedding albums.
Each album features:
• Professional fine-art photographic paper
• High-definition printing
• Custom covers
• Editorial design layout
These albums are created as heirloom pieces — designed to last for generations.
Delivery Timeline
The average delivery time between your wedding day and your final gallery is approximately two months.
This allows us to ensure:
• High-level quality
• Artistic consistency
• Careful retouching
• Personalized album design
Excellence requires time.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
A journey between emotion and aesthetics
