Thomas Hinder
Award-Winning Zurich Wedding Photographer
Fluent in German, English, French & Spanish
Hello and welcome!
I'm so glad you found your way here
Your wedding day will pass by faster than you can imagine. The tears of joy in your parents' eyes. The nervous smile before the ceremony. Your first look. Warm embraces. Genuine laughter shared with family and friends.
Many of these moments last only a few seconds—yet they become memories you'll cherish for a lifetime.
For more than 15 years, I have been documenting weddings in Zurich, throughout Switzerland, and across Europe. I photograph discreetly, with experience, sensitivity, and an eye for the authentic moments that make your wedding truly unique.
My goal is not simply to create beautiful photographs. I want you to relive the emotions of your wedding day every time you look through your images—even many years from now.
Everything You'd Like to Know Before Booking
From pricing and the photography timeline to image delivery—I’ve answered the questions couples ask most often, so you can plan your wedding with confidence and peace of mind.
  • How Much Does a Wedding Photographer in Zurich Cost?
    Every wedding is unique, which is why I offer a range of photography packages—from civil ceremonies starting at 1 hour (CHF 680) to full-day wedding coverage. I'd be happy to create a personalised quote tailored to your wedding plans and requirements.
  • How Many Weddings Have You Photographed?
    For over 15 years, I have had the privilege of documenting more than 400 weddings—in Zurich, throughout Switzerland, and at beautiful destination locations around the world.
    Each wedding has taught me something new and strengthened my passion for capturing authentic emotions, meaningful moments, and unforgettable stories.
  • How Long Does the Editing Process Take?
    You will usually receive your fully edited wedding photos within two to three weeks.
  • How Many Photos Will We Receive?
    Depending on the length of coverage, I capture several thousand photographs throughout your wedding day. You will receive 40+ professionally edited images per hour of photography, delivered in full resolution through a password-protected online gallery.
    For example:
    8 hours of wedding photography = 320+ fully edited images
  • What Happens If Your Camera Fails?
    I work with professional photography equipment and record every image simultaneously on two memory cards for maximum security. I always carry multiple cameras, lenses, and backup equipment with me, so I can continue photographing your wedding without interruption—even in the unlikely event of technical issues.
  • Do You Only Photograph Weddings in Zurich?
    No. I photograph weddings throughout Switzerland as well as destination weddings abroad—from beautiful celebrations on Lake Zurich and in the Swiss mountains to unforgettable weddings in locations such as Tuscany.
    Wherever your wedding takes place, I love capturing the authentic emotions, special moments, and unique atmosphere of your day.
  • How Far in Advance Should We Book You?
    Popular Saturdays during the summer months are often booked 12 to 18 months in advance. I therefore recommend reaching out early to secure your preferred date.
  • Can We Meet You Before the Wedding?
    Absolutely. A personal meeting—ideally in my studio over a coffee—is very important to me. It gives us the opportunity to discuss your wishes, get to know each other, and make sure the chemistry feels right.
    After all, you’ll spend one of the most important days of your life with your photographer, so trust and a good connection are essential.

Why Couples Choose Me as Their Wedding Photographer

Over 400 Weddings Photographed
  • Professional Equipment You Can Rely On

    A wedding cannot be repeated.
    That is why I work with professional equipment, record every image simultaneously on two memory cards, and always carry a complete backup setup with me.
    This way, you can fully enjoy your wedding day without having to worry about technical details. Your memories are in safe hands.
  • Experience Creates Confidence

    After documenting more than 400 weddings, I know exactly when the most meaningful moments are about to happen—often just seconds before they unfold.
    This experience allows me to capture authentic, natural images without constantly interrupting or directing your day.
  • Natural Moments Instead of Posed Scenes

    Most of my couples say during our first meeting:
    "We actually don't feel comfortable in front of the camera."
    That is exactly why I don’t put you into complicated poses or awkward situations.
    Instead, I guide you with simple movements, natural interactions, and a good sense of humour—helping you relax quickly so you can be yourselves and enjoy every moment.
  • Discreet Throughout Your Wedding Day

    During the ceremony and the celebration, I consciously stay in the background.
    Many guests barely notice that I am there. This allows me to capture genuine emotions, natural interactions, and authentic moments instead of staged photographs.

Twelve Hours Filled with Genuine Emotion – A Boho Wedding in Italy
Twelve Hours Filled with Genuine Emotion – A Boho Wedding in Italy
This free-spirited Boho wedding at Villa dei Cipressi near Verona is one of those celebrations that stays in your heart for years. From the relaxed getting ready and the emotional ceremony beneath the old cypress trees to the joyful evening celebration, I had the privilege of documenting the couple’s journey over twelve unforgettable hours.
Surrounded by Mediterranean gardens, warm evening light, and a breathtaking setting, I captured natural and timeless wedding photographs filled with genuine emotions. Rather than staged moments, the focus was on the little things that make a wedding day truly special: tears of joy, heartfelt embraces, loving glances, and all the spontaneous moments that happen naturally.
Whether it is a wedding in Zurich, by Lake Zurich, or a destination wedding in Italy—my goal remains the same: to capture your story authentically, unobtrusively, and with a deep sense of emotion.
