Hello, I'm Erna.
A wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Switzerland.
My love for photography started in Rome, during a two-month sabbatical away from my corporate life. One morning, I spotted a little girl walking hand in hand with her father. A simple, unposed moment that reminded me how beautiful everyday life can be.
I took a photograph. And something clicked.
Today, I’m drawn to the moments that happen when you forget about the camera. The genuine laughter, the little gestures, the connections that make a story yours.
My photography is a blend of documentary storytelling and editorial aesthetics. I love the beauty of natural light, thoughtful compositions, honest emotions, and the little imperfections that make a moment real.
My approach is relaxed and intuitive. I observe, anticipate, and gently guide when needed, leaving room for the unexpected to unfold. The result? Images that feel effortless yet considered, timeless yet full of life.
I want you to feel comfortable enough to let go, be yourself, and simply be present. Because the photographs that stay with us aren't always the perfectly planned ones. They are the ones that bring us right back to how it felt.

"Erna was truly incredible. From the very first moment, she made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, capturing every emotion and detail so naturally and beautifully. She has an amazing talent for taking authentic, in-the-moment pictures that reflect the real emotions of the day. Every photo tells a story and brings us right back to that special day. She didn’t just take pictures, she created memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime. We couldn’t have wished for a better photographer!! Thank you, Erna, for giving us timeless memories of the best day of our lives!."
