BARA Pictures

BARA Pictures is a photography and videography business from the area around Chur, in Graubünden. Its homepage describes it as "eine junge und motivierte Firma in der Umgebung Chur", a young, motivated company near Chur, run by a team of experienced photographers, each with their own view of photography and film. Weddings are one of three areas of work, next to private sessions (newborns and families) and business work, and the site adds a photo booth, an audio guestbook and photography courses. The site is in German and publishes no wedding prices.

How they describe their wedding work

The wedding section on the homepage is short and clear. Their pictures, they write, are authentic stories that hold a couple's bond, emotions and mood aesthetically. "Wir legen Wert darauf, dass sich jeder vor der Kamera wohl fühlt und Spass erlebt": it matters to them that everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera and has fun. They say they respond to each couple's own wishes and ideas. The site's general promise is personal support and advice to make the client's vision happen.

The company statement goes further. Their passion, they write, is to show moments in an authentic, expressive and artistic way, and their conviction is "dass Schönheit überall zu finden ist", that beauty can be found everywhere, so the aim of their work is to hold on to it. Through their work, they want to show how valuable and unique people, companies and moments are.

Photo and video

BARA Pictures films as well as photographs. The video page lists their work, including two wedding films (Josia and Rebekka, Reto and Sonja) and a general wedding video, alongside company films, music videos, event films and youth camp films. Couples looking for a single team for both photographs and a wedding film can ask for both.

What couples and clients say

The homepage carries reviews from wedding couples and other clients. The wedding ones are the most useful here.

• Martina recommends them as professional, personal, very nice and friendly, and says they have beautiful photos of her wedding, pregnancy and baby and family shoots.
• Clivio and Marilyne write that the wedding photos far exceeded their expectations and recommend them with top marks.
• Michael and Sabrine say they were lost for words: the team was very well prepared, always knew when to be where and when the moment was right for a good photo, and handled people brilliantly, "locker freundlich aber auch bestimmt und professionell" (relaxed and friendly, but also firm and professional).
• Sven and Alina write that the photographer worked so unobtrusively they hardly noticed him, and that they were particularly impressed to receive a selection of photos shortly after the wedding.

The others come from a newborn and family client, Céline, who says the whole family felt at ease; from the Hotel Seebüel in Davos, which praises the directing of the people in the pictures and the quick turnaround; and from Koller Dienstleistungen, a repeat business client.

Fast delivery and extras for a wedding

Several of their blog posts describe services that are useful on a wedding day.

• Realtime editing. A February 2026 post describes their self-developed Realtime-Editing System: professionally edited photos are available a few minutes after they are taken. The post lists weddings among the events where pictures should go online on the same day or even during the event.
• Audio guestbook. A December 2025 post introduces an audio guestbook as an alternative to the long line of guests waiting to congratulate the couple; guests leave a spoken message instead. The post's reasoning is familiar to anyone who has planned a wedding: the day is full of moments that matter and passes in a flash, and the couple want to give every guest some attention, chat and celebrate, which is almost impossible.
• Photo booth. A March 2024 post presents their Fotobox for weddings, birthdays and company parties, pitched as memories guests can hold in their hands.
• Online gallery. A January 2024 post describes their online gallery, with a tool for choosing pictures and the option to share and download images in different resolutions.

Courses and vouchers

BARA Pictures also teaches. A 3-hour photography course covers the functions of one's own camera, the basics of composition and creative techniques, and a 3-hour image-editing course covers editing software and developing a personal style. Vouchers are sold in amounts of CHF 50, 100, 200 and 500, or any amount, and can be used for shoots, courses and more. A newsletter offers updates and discounts.

Language and contact

The site is written in German, and the language switch in the menu shows "Deutsch". Nothing on the site says whether the team works in English, French or Italian. The menu has a contact page and a team page. Couples from abroad should ask about language when they first write.

What the site does not settle

• Prices and packages. No wedding prices, hours or package contents are given on the site.
• Delivery of the full gallery. One couple mention a quick first selection and the blog describes realtime editing, but no standard delivery time is stated.
• Travel. The site describes the business as based near Chur and working in Graubünden; it does not state travel fees or whether it works outside the canton.
• Who photographs the day. The team has several photographers; the site does not say how many come to a wedding.
• Language. Not stated.
• Booking terms. No deposit or lead time is described.

Who it suits

BARA Pictures suits couples marrying in Graubünden who want relaxed photographs and possibly a wedding film from the same team, and who like the idea of extras such as a photo booth, an audio guestbook or same-day edited pictures for guests. The reviews consistently describe a team that is well prepared, unobtrusive and good at putting people at ease. Couples who also plan a pregnancy or family shoot later will find those on offer too, as Martina's review shows. The caveats for couples from abroad are the German-only pages and the lack of published prices, so the first message should ask for a quote and confirm the language.
