A Timeless Wedding at the Beau-Rivage Palace | Anne & Quentin’s Elegant Day in Lausanne

From our very first chat, I knew Anne and Quentin’s wedding would be something truly special — the kind of day that feels effortless yet unforgettable.Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Beau-Rivage Palace in Lausanne, their celebration embodied everything I love about photographing modern weddings in Switzerland: intention, emotion, and understated luxury.

The Beau-Rivage Palace is one of Switzerland’s most iconic wedding venues, where historic grandeur meets contemporary sophistication. It offers everything a photographer dreams of — light, space, and timeless beauty. Its luminous suites and spacious salons are filled with elegant architectural details, creating the perfect backdrop for both refined portraits and candid moments. Outside, the gardens overlooking Lake Geneva provide endless opportunities for natural, romantic imagery — from golden-hour strolls beneath century-old trees to intimate exchanges framed by alpine views.

Anne and Quentin brought their own effortless style to match the venue’s timeless allure. From morning preparations in sunlit suites to the champagne-soaked dance floor, every moment unfolded with ease and grace. They floated through the day — radiant, relaxed, and surrounded by the kind of joy only true love brings. Laughter echoed through the palace halls as friends and family celebrated with unrestrained happiness.

The ceremony in the lakeside gardens felt cinematic. The sun beamed down through the clouds, the florals framed the vows with soft romance — and just when it seemed the moment couldn’t get sweeter, the tiniest ring bearer, a fluffy four-legged star, stole every heart in the crowd 🐶💍.

As the sun slipped behind the mountains, the celebration only grew brighter. Music from the live band pulsed through the marble halls, champagne (or tequila!) sparkled in every glass, and the dance floor came alive beneath the glow of the palace chandeliers. Every frame told a story — laughter, motion, connection.

Anne and Quentin’s Beau-Rivage Palace wedding captured everything I strive for in my work as a wedding photographer in Lausanne: authentic emotion, editorial beauty, and storytelling that feels both modern and timeless.
