SWITZERLAND ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

Mountain elopements & ski adventures in the SwissAlps
PeaceLoveLeigh_me-3406-2.jpg

Peace Love Leigh is a Switzerland-based wedding photography company, founded by photographer LeighAnn Shafiq.

 

An instinctive documentary approach, balanced by considered editorial direction: so that you can be present in the moment without ever having to wonder what to do in front of the camera.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE, INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Based in Switzerland and working throughout Europe, I bring an American warmth and attentiveness to my work, paired with a deep appreciation for European architecture, design, light and sense of place.

​

Fluent in English and French, I combine local knowledge with an international perspective, collaborating easily with couples, planners and venues across cultures and languages.

BEAUTIFUL PLACES TO ELOPE IN THE SWISS ALPS

The Swiss Alps offer one of the most breathtaking settings in the world for an intimate wedding or elopement. From dramatic mountain peaks to quiet alpine lakes and charming villages, couples travel from around the world to exchange vows surrounded by Switzerland’s extraordinary landscapes.

Switzerland remains an underrated destination for elopements, offering remarkable scenery, privacy, and exceptional hospitality.

Home to some of Switzerland’s most dramatic mountain landscapes. A Valais elopement could be the exclusive Swiss mountain experience you are looking for. The Aletsch Glacier, the largest glacier in the Alps and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers one of the most dramatic landscapes for an elopement in Switzerland.

The Peace Love Leigh Philosophy

Love is love, and I photograph every celebration with openness, curiosity and respect for what makes it distinctly yours.

​

I work with discretion, collaborating closely with planners and creative teams, moving quietly and allowing moments to unfold naturally, while offering thoughtful artistic direction when it serves the couple and the imagery. I adapt calmly as timelines, weather and circumstances evolve, without allowing the photography to interrupt the experience of the day.

​

I don’t arrive with a formula. I pay attention to what is already there: the people, the setting, the light, the weather, the energy. I bring ideas and inspiration, but allow the celebration itself to shape how I photograph it, because no two weddings should look quite the same.

​

I want you to feel at ease in front of my camera, and ultimately remember how your wedding felt and who was there, not how much time you spent being photographed.

KIND WORDS FROM CLIENTS

"There are no words strong enough to thank you for your work on our wedding day. You were so much more than just a photographer – you captured the very essence of the day with incredible magic. Every photo is a true masterpiece, and we relive each moment through your eyes. You exceeded all our expectations, not only with your talent but also with your dedication (well beyond what was initially planned). Your presence was calm and reassuring, and you made us feel comfortable from the very beginning.

​

You took the time to capture unforgettable moments, even going far beyond what was scheduled. Your generosity and attention to detail made this day even more special. You suggested a photo session in Champex to get to know each other, and your kindness was evident right away. Your words, your gestures, your advice, your smiles, your unique accent, and your humor... all of it helped us relax and approach that first experience with serenity. That initial meeting allowed us to create a strong connection, which made the wedding day even better.

​

Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts, for your professionalism, kindness, and patience. You captured our happiness in a way we will treasure forever. We will recommend you without hesitation to anyone looking not only for stunning photos but also for a beautiful encounter."
