For almost seven years, I have been living my passion: as a wedding celebrant, I guide couples through their special day in Switzerland and South Africa. During this time, I\u2019ve had the privilege of accompanying countless couples to their \u201cI do.\u201d Whether bilingual, a Jewish inspired ceremony in collaboration with a Rabbi, or even with alpacas down the aisle \u2013 anything is possible! Here you\u2019ll find a small selection of weddings where I had the honor of creating the ceremony.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Miriam & Nico, Rickety Bridge, Franschhoek, S\u00fcdafrika<\/h3>\n<\/div>

Eine Hochzeit mit so viel Herz und Emotionen! Miriam und Nico aus M\u00fcnchen hatten sich daf\u00fcr entschieden, sich im s\u00fcdafrikanischen Sommer das Ja-Wort zu geben \u2013 und dieses mit einem ganz speziellen Ritual zu besiegeln, n\u00e4mlich gemeinsam ein Bild zu malen. Es war einmalig!<\/p>\n

Elena & Cedric, Relais Forte Benedek, Pastrengo IT<\/h3>\n<\/div>

This couple from Zug, Switzerland has a deep connection to Northern Italy and the stunning Lake Garda region. It didn\u2019t take long for them to decide: their wedding had to be celebrated amidst this picturesque landscape! And so it was \u2013 an intimate ceremony filled with love, followed by a vibrant celebration with friends and family. Every moment was simply magical.<\/p>\n

Rebekka & Marc, Trotte Gailingen, Germany<\/h3>\n<\/div>

For the third time, I had the pleasure of celebrating a wedding at the Trotte in Gailingen, right on the Rhine. The plan was to hold the ceremony among the vineyards, but the charming atmosphere of the Trotte provided an equally beautiful setting. Photographer Istvan and his team handled the challenging lighting conditions effortlessly, creating a stunning photo report of the day.<\/p>\n
