It all started fourteen years ago and ever since I’ve been growing my love for your love.

About us

Kuenzli Photography is led by Melanie Künzli — photographer, creative director, and founder. Based in Switzerland, Kuenzli Photography is a boutique photo and video studio working across Europe and beyond, dedicated to telling unforgettable love stories through timeless imagery and cinematic wedding films.

What began over 14 years ago with Melanie’s very first wedding evolved into a refined wedding brand rooted in artistic vision, reliability, and a deep appreciation for meaningful human connection. The initial idea for Kuenzli Photography was born together with her sister Emily, and over time grew into an independent studio now fully led and creatively directed by Melanie.

With a background in fine art photography and visual storytelling, Melanie brings a rare combination of editorial artistry and heartfelt authenticity to every wedding she captures. She is supported by a carefully curated team of trusted creatives who share the same high standards, aesthetic sensibility, and commitment to excellence.

Kuenzli Photography specializes in elegant destination weddings, multi-day celebrations, and refined events that blend high-end aesthetics with real, emotional moments. From the grandeur of Lake Como to intimate ceremonies in the Swiss Alps or along the Mediterranean coast, each story is captured with intention, sensitivity, and a strong visual identity.

The work is defined by a documentary approach with an editorial eye — focusing on fleeting in-between moments, honest emotions, and beautifully composed portraits that feel both natural and timeless. Couples are guided throughout the process with creative direction, timeline support, and carefully selected vendor recommendations to ensure a cohesive and elevated visual experience.

Born in Ecuador and raised in Switzerland, Melanie brings a deep appreciation for multicultural weddings and diverse traditions. Her bilingual and international background allows her to connect effortlessly with couples from around the world — and she considers it a true honour to be invited into such meaningful chapters of their lives.

Whether you’re planning a romantic elopement, a luxurious château wedding, or a joyful weekend celebration by the sea — Kuenzli Photography is here to document it with care, intention, and creativity.

Let’s tell your story, beautifully.
