We just experienced the shoot of a lifetime from the other side of the lens, and I’ll never be the same when I get back to being behind the shutter.

My Switzerfilm team and I have filmed and photographed over a million minutes of weddings over the past 10 years— in England, Hawaii, the Caribbean and all over the U.S.
