Wedding & family photographer in Geneva

Today’s little moments become tomorrow’s precious memories

A wedding, a first pregnancy, a baby’s first months, a family growing up. These moments pass quickly, and photographs are what remain.

I photograph them with natural light and a gentle eye, looking for what is real: a glance, a laugh, a hand held a little longer. Images you’ll want to print, frame and pass on.

About me

Nice to meet you, I’m Mathilde.

I spent sixteen years in industrial management before following the passion I’d had since I was a little girl: photography. Three years ago, I made the leap, and I’ve never looked back.

Today I photograph weddings across Switzerland and beyond, as well as families, mothers-to-be and newborns in my studio in Carouge. I work in English and French, and I bring the same thing to every session: care, calm and an eye for beauty.

My greatest joy is when couples and families tell me they recognise themselves in their photos. Not a posed version of themselves, but who they truly are.
