Magnus Bogucki

The photographer and his base

Magnus Bogucki is a wedding photographer based in Baar, in canton Zug, who works across Switzerland and abroad. His weddings page puts it plainly: "I love wedding photography. I am based in canton Zug (Baar) but happy to go all over Switzerland." The footer on every page repeats the point, describing him as based in canton Zug but working in the whole country.

His site is written in English, with a DE link in the menu for German readers. That matters for couples coming from abroad: the wedding stories, the album page and the destination page are all in English, and several of the weddings he writes about were for international couples, including an American couple in Interlaken, an American wedding at Waldhaus Flims and a Swedish-Swiss wedding in Bergün.

On his destination wedding page he says his approach "relies on 15 years of experience". He describes himself there as keeping a calm, professional presence during an international celebration and documenting it "with artistry and precision", and he adds that his home remains rooted in the Swiss landscape while his camera takes him to venues abroad.

Swiss weddings on the site

The weddings category is a long blog, with each wedding written up as a short story. The first page alone runs across much of German-speaking Switzerland and the mountains:

• Landgasthof Halbinsel Au. The day started in Unterägeri with the groom, whose best man had been one of Bogucki's own wedding couples a few years earlier.
• Moschti Stäfa. A civil ceremony in Zurich with the witnesses, then a small apéro with champagne outside, which carried on through the rain.
• Kurhaus Bergün. A Swedish bride and a Swiss groom in the alpine village of Bergün, with the preparations at the Kurhaus.
• Klosters. An intimate wedding that opened his 2025 season: the couple and their daughter, starting at their chalet.
• Zug and Heuboden in Rotkreuz. Portraits in Zug's Old Town, then a relaxed barbecue reception at Heuboden.
• Waldhaus Flims. An American wedding in the mountains, held on a Thursday.
• St. Charles Hall in Meggen. A wedding at St. Charles Hall in Meggen, a venue he says lives up to its reputation.
• Grand Hotel Kronenhof. His last wedding of 2022, at a hotel he had not worked at before.
• Baar and Zug. A ceremony in Baar with the evening reception in Zug.

Older posts go further back. One from 2012, titled Luzern/Meggenhorn, follows Yvonne and Pascal at Meggenhorn Castle, including the drive from the castle to the Seeburg hotel in a real police car (the groom was a police officer) and a planned stop at the hotel ahead of the guests to leave time for creative portraits.

A destination couple's day: Schloss Oberhofen

For readers planning from abroad, the most useful post is the intimate wedding of an American couple at Schloss Oberhofen. Their closest family flew in. The couple got ready at the Krebs Hotel in Interlaken, then went by minibus to Schloss Oberhofen, where they held their own ceremony: instead of an officiant, the two of them stood in front of their family and told their story. Bogucki notes that weddings led by friends or family, rather than a priest, are becoming more common.

After the ceremony there was time for portraits in and around the castle, and then he took the couple to Lauterbrunnen, which he calls one of his favorite places in Switzerland. That detail shows how he works: he is willing to move a couple to a second location for portraits if the day allows, and he writes approvingly of couples who are up for trying different spots.

Work outside Switzerland

The destination page lists weddings in Italy (Villa la Casinella on Lake Como, Il Borro in Tuscany, Villa Vedetta, Villa Palmieri, Villa Mangiacane, the NH Convento di Amalfi, La Badia di Orvieto, Castello di Vincigliata, La Foce and weddings across Calabria), in Greece (Milos, Santorini and Kos), in Stockholm and on the coast of Mombasa in Kenya. The weddings blog adds a wedding in Bangkok for a Thai bride and a British groom, a friend of his, where the day combined Thai and UK traditions. For a couple mixing two cultures in one wedding, those stories show he has done it before.

Albums and prints

Bogucki is openly in favor of printed albums. His album page argues that a book lasts longer than any digital backup and is more satisfying to hold than a screen, and he says he always recommends couples invest in an album. He admits the album market is confusing, with different covers, page thicknesses, papers and sizes, and offers his help: "Since I have experience in this I will happily support in these decisions."

The page lists album sizes of 30×30 cm, 25×25 cm, 20×20 cm and 10×10 cm.

He also sells a Photo Box: a box of loose prints meant to be kept on a shelf or swapped in and out of frames on the wall. The prints are giclée on cotton paper (Water Color Radiant 188gsm, certified digigraphie), a technique used for reproducing artworks on archival media. The box and prints are made in Italy, and the box measures 35 × 35 cm.

What the site does not settle

The site publishes no prices, no packages and no hourly rates, for the photography or for the albums and the Photo Box. It does not say whether an album is part of a wedding booking or ordered separately.

It also does not state how many hours a standard wedding day covers, how many edited images couples receive, how long delivery takes, or how far ahead dates book up. Travel costs are not mentioned either, whether for a wedding in the Swiss mountains or for the destination weddings abroad. The destination page simply invites couples to get in touch for details on the listed locations or to discuss a new one.

Couples from abroad should raise these points in the first message: day rate or package, coverage hours, travel for a mountain venue, delivery time, and album pricing.

Contact and booking

Every page shows the same contact details: email contact@magnusbogucki.com and phone +41 797 24 90 81, plus a Contact page in the menu. A Wedding Advice page sits in the Info menu alongside the album and destination pages.

Who he suits

Bogucki suits couples planning a wedding anywhere in Switzerland who want a photographer used to international weddings and who write in English. The blog shows him at small, family-only days (Klosters, Schloss Oberhofen) as well as hotel weddings at Waldhaus Flims, St. Charles Hall and the Grand Hotel Kronenhof, and at mountain weddings as much as lakeside ones.

He is a particularly good match for couples who care about a printed album: his album page makes the case for print at length. The caveat is the lack of any published pricing, which means couples comparing photographers on budget will need to ask before they can judge whether he fits.
