Behind the Lens
Stillness, intention, and the in-between.
I believe the most meaningful moments are often the quietest ones — the small gestures, the pause before everything unfolds, the atmosphere that holds a day together.
My work is editorial in composition and documentary in truth: refined, cohesive, and never forced. I don’t direct stories. I witness them — with restraint, care, and a calm eye for what truly matters.
WHAT GUIDES MY WORK
A quiet foundation.
I’m David Rickenbach, a wedding photographer based in Winterthur, Switzerland.
My approach is rooted in respect, responsibility, and a deep sense of purpose. I work best in environments where trust and clarity create space for genuine moments to unfold naturally.
My Christian faith is a personal anchor in my life. It quietly shapes how I show up — with humility, gratitude, and a commitment to treat people and moments with dignity.
This perspective influences the way I move through a wedding day: attentive, unobtrusive, and fully present — protecting what is intimate, and documenting what is true.
How I Work
Calm direction. Honest observation.
You can expect a calm presence — never performative, never intrusive. I observe first, guide only when it truly serves the moment, and keep the experience seamless for you and your planner.
Discreet coverage
Presence without pressure. Space to feel the day rather than “pose” it.
Planner-aligned
Clear communication, timeline awareness, and calm collaboration throughout the weekend.
Editorial finish
A cohesive story, refined selection, and a timeless finish that reads like one narrative.
THE WORLD I PHOTOGRAPH
Atmosphere, detail, and rhythm.
I’m drawn to places with character — villas, castles, grand hotels, and celebrations near water. The story often lives in the details: texture, light, and the quiet intention behind the design.
When it fits the atmosphere, I include 35mm black & white film for softer edges, deeper texture, and a quieter rhythm within the story.
