A Timeless Black & White Love Story
There’s a special kind of magic that happens when you pair the intimacy of black and white photography with the raw beauty of nature. This lifestyle couple session in Bern, Switzerland was the perfect example – set not in the bustle of the city, but deep in the woodland, surrounded by the quiet rustle of leaves and the warmth of a travelers-style wooden cart.
For this shoot, we wanted to capture something that felt both adventurous and deeply personal – the kind of imagery that tells a story beyond the wedding day. The couple’s home for the weekend was a charming wooden cart, tucked between tall pines and mossy forest paths. It had all the romance of a slower, simpler life – a place where you can wake up to birdsong, share coffee under a wool blanket, and forget the rest of the world exists.
Photographing in black and white brought a sense of timelessness to the session. Without the distraction of color, every shared glance, gentle touch, and burst of laughter became the centerpiece of the frame. The contrast of soft light filtering through the trees against the weathered wood of the cart created an atmosphere straight out of a vintage travel diary.
If you’re dreaming of couple photography in Switzerland that’s more than just a pretty location, consider stepping away from the familiar. The Swiss countryside – and especially the hidden woodlands around Bern – offer endless opportunities for authentic, romantic portraits. Whether it’s an engagement, a Swiss wedding, or simply a celebration of your journey together, there’s beauty in choosing a place that feels like your own little world.
