Wedding Filmmaker
I film your wedding close to what is truly happening, without turning the day into a production. Real voices, gestures and the natural rhythm of the day remain at the heart of the film.

The setting may be grand.
The film stays close to you.
In Montreux, the lake and mountains can easily fill the frame. I use that scenery to give your story a sense of place without losing what truly matters: the people, their voices and everything that passes between them.
I will not ask you to repeat an entrance or recreate an emotion. We prepare the practical details in advance, then I film the day as it unfolds. I only offer guidance when a portrait or movement genuinely needs it.
I also handle the sound, editing, colour grading and final mix. The person beside you on the wedding day is therefore the same person who later shapes your film.

Laurent Henry · filmmaker
Montreux, Vevey and the shores of Lake Geneva
Between the lake,
the promenade and the heights.
From the lake to the heights Everything looks close on a map. On the wedding day, access and changes in elevation still need some forethought. We go through timings, parking and travel between Montreux, Territet, Vevey and the reception venue.
The light changes quickly I prepare the transitions between the shores of Lake Geneva, the interiors and the hills. This groundwork leaves room for delays, reunions and moments that were never part of the schedule.
Drone footage is included in all three collections Every flight remains subject to weather, location, safety and airspace rules. If the drone cannot fly, the story of your film never depends on it.

Simple preparation
From our first conversation
to your film
You do not need to think about video throughout the day. My work begins well beforehand, so it can find its place without weighing on the schedule.
- 01
Getting to know you
A relaxed call about your plans, the people you love and the memories you want to preserve.
- 02
Planning the locations
About a month beforehand, we review timings, travel, access and technical considerations.
- 03
Filming without interrupting
I work alongside your photographer and stay attentive to voices, reactions and changes in rhythm.
- 04
Crafting your story
I shape the film, refine the sound and colour, then usually deliver it within four to six weeks.
Behind the camera
Since 2006,
I have filmed with
the same eye
I prepare, film and edit your wedding film myself. The person you speak with before the wedding is also the person beside you on the day and the one who later shapes all those images in the edit.
My experience comes from very different environments, in France and abroad. Above all, it has taught me to stay calm, adapt quickly and make sure the technical side never becomes your problem.

Before we talk
about your date.
When should we book a wedding videographer in Montreux?
Ideally nine to twelve months before the wedding, especially for a date between May and September. You can still contact me later, as some dates remain available.
Do you travel throughout the Vaud Riviera?
Yes. I work in Montreux, Territet, Clarens, Glion, Caux, Vevey, La Tour-de-Peilz, Villeneuve and throughout the canton of Vaud. Any travel costs are stated in the quotation.
How much does a wedding film in Montreux cost?
My wedding film collections start at CHF 1,400. They differ in film length, camera coverage, recorded speeches and the pre-wedding interview included in The Story.
How do we secure our date?
We begin with a call or a meeting. If my approach feels right for you, the date is secured once the quotation is signed and a 30% deposit has been paid.
Is drone footage included in Montreux?
Yes, drone footage is included in all three collections. Every flight remains subject to weather, location, safety and airspace rules, which I assess before the wedding.
Were the featured films shot in Montreux?
No, and I prefer to be clear about that. They are here to show my documentary approach, the way I work with voices and the level of finish you can expect.
When will we receive our wedding film?
Your film is usually delivered four to six weeks after the wedding, with a maximum turnaround of three months, through a private online link.
Can we request a few changes?
Yes, small adjustments can be requested, such as removing a shot or correcting a detail. A complete reworking of the structure, music or creative direction is not included.
Will our film be published?
Publication terms are set out in the quotation and contract. If you would like the film to remain private, please tell me before signing. No recognisable image of a minor is shared on my social media without specific permission.
What happens if you cannot attend on the wedding day?
In the exceptional event that I cannot attend, I rely on a network of professional videographers to find a suitable replacement. The process is detailed in the quotation and contract.
