Miri Roth Photography

Miri Roth photographs couples and elopements in the Engadin, and she grew up there: she calls herself a true Engadinerin who knows her home extremely well. That local knowledge is what we love most about her work: the places she suggests for your vows are ones she grew up with. The work is couple's and elopement photography for people who want something off the traditional path. The pages are mostly in German with English headings and a few English testimonials, and she works with couples she has never met, including those who live at the other end of the world.

Unposed shoots, and no long hikes required

She is direct about fit. Her shoots are not meant for couples who want a classic wedding photographer who has them smile into the camera all day; they suit people who like a small adventure, fresh mountain air and laughing until it hurts. She does not put you into stiff poses: she creates moments with you so feelings get photographed, and she directs every step so it feels natural. Worried about not being photogenic? Nobody enjoys being in front of a camera, and that is exactly where her method comes in. Couples also ask whether they need to hike far for nature shots, and the answer is no: she knows many spots, well known and hidden, that are all easy to reach. Booked couples also receive a short styling guide with tips for the shoot.

CHF 350 for a couple shoot, CHF 3'500 to elope

In November 2026 there are two offers. The couple shoot, which covers proposals, engagement photos, anniversaries or a session for fun, starts at CHF 350. Elopements and intimate weddings in the Engadin start at CHF 3'500. Both are customizable, and durations, inclusions and travel terms are not published, so those are settled when you get in touch. The booking flow is short: you write by email or through the contact form with your wishes, she replies as soon as she can and goes through the details with you, and then comes the shoot. She supports couples with the planning of their adventures too, and an English-language testimonial from a couple with a pet describes her scouting a location and building a fun atmosphere.

Seven places to say yes

The most useful material is her blog, where she writes in German about where to elope. A post titled with the number seven walks through her favorite spots: the peninsula Chastè, with a view of Piz da la Margna and a larch forest that glows gold in autumn; the Silsersee, with small bays and the remote hamlet of Isola; the Kuhböden at Morteratsch, which are quieter than the glacier front; Muottas Muragl, reached by funicular, where the Romantikhotel offers a night at 2453 m; the Stazersee, where the Lej da Staz hotel sits on the shore; the stream bed at Morteratsch; and an alpine pass. Each spot has its own charm depending on the season, so the same vows look different in October larches than in March snow.

A second guide, "How to elope in the Engadin", covers climate, avoiding crowds, locations, paperwork and suppliers. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are good days, the guide explains the shoulder season, and mid to late October is usually the best time for golden autumn. Summer in the mountains can turn cold, and in winter readings of minus 20 degrees are not unusual even by day; skiing or snowboarding as part of the day works best in early December, January or March, outside the high season. Her other tip against crowds is a sunrise ceremony, when very few people are out at the chosen spot. A third post is a checklist of 15 things to do before you elope, and a fourth is a style guide for what to wear.

Paperwork and suppliers, for couples marrying from abroad

The planning guide treats the Engadin ceremony as a separate thing from the civil step: the registry office appointment is arranged on its own, and it needs 2 witnesses. For the ceremony itself there are two routes: keep it simple with just the two of you and nature, perhaps a homemade picnic, or hire suppliers. For the second she names her favorites: Blumengalerie St. Moritz for flowers, Coiffeur La Perl Pontresina for hair and makeup, makeup artist Livia Solèr, planner Mels Wedding World and celebrant Liebesfeuerwerk Evelyn Ekdahl. A photographer who hands you a supplier list for the region saves a couple planning from abroad a good deal of searching.
