David Rickenbach — Editorial Wedding Photography

Wedding Photography in Emotion an Stillness

Composed with calm intention — where feeling becomes form and stays. — Switzerland & Europe.

Based in Winterthur, Switzerland · Available internationally

Signature Approach

My work lives in the space between emotion and stillness — where a wedding day unfolds without performance.

I don’t choreograph your wedding. I observe it. I pay attention to how light moves through a room, the pauses between conversations, the hand-squeezes and glances that say more than words.

Throughout the day, I’m a calm presence — working discreetly, with intention and respect for the moment.

Photographed in a refined editorial style and grounded in documentary truth, the story comes together in images that feel timeless rather than trend-led.

When it fits the atmosphere, I include black & white film.
It brings a different kind of honesty — softer edges, deeper texture, and a sense of permanence.

Behind the lens

I work quietly in the background, with attention and intention.
Present when needed, invisible when not.
Always in service of the story.

How I work

I work quietly and with intention.
Present when it matters, invisible when it doesn’t.

I don’t direct your day or interrupt moments.
Instead, I observe light, movement, and connection — allowing things to unfold naturally.

From the first conversation to the final images, my role is to create calm, clarity, and space — so you can stay fully in the moment.

Selected Work

Quiet gestures, refined settings, and photographs shaped by light, rhythm, and intention.
Some captured digitally, others on film.

Celebrations across Switzerland

A quiet, editorial approach to destination and local weddings.

I photograph weddings across Switzerland — from historic estates and lakeside villas to private celebrations in the countryside.

My work often brings me to places where architecture, landscape, and atmosphere matter as much as the people within them. Whether you are planning from abroad or close to home, I work seamlessly with your planner to document the celebration with calm direction and editorial clarity.

Based in Switzerland, working across Europe — including Zurich and Winterthur

Services & Experience

I offer full-day and weekend wedding coverage, created for couples who value presence, discretion, and a considered pace throughout their celebration.

I work independently and with a calm, unobtrusive approach — collaborating closely with planners to ensure the photography integrates seamlessly into the flow of the day.

My availability is intentionally limited, allowing me to give each celebration my full attention, from the first conversation to the final images.

Coverage is tailored to the scale and rhythm of your wedding, with black & white film woven into the story where it naturally fits.

“Wow, David — we’re thrilled with the beautiful photos. Thank you so much! So lovely to relive the day through these images.”
