Nickeys World

Nickey lives and works in Zermatt, and her pages are in English, so you can read her whole process before writing to her. She focuses primarily on people and their relationships, bonds, weddings, families, couples and personal stories. The languages she works in are not stated, so mention yours when you ask about a date. She has lived in Zermatt since 2015, and for a couple eloping or marrying under the Matterhorn her pages are worth a visit and her name belongs on your shortlist.

A Matterhorn shoot in four steps

Each session runs to a set sequence. First comes a preliminary discussion, where you agree on the location, the style or moodboard, and the outfits. The shoot follows that agreement, and depending on the package you get Instax prints on the spot right after it. Within 24 hours a preview gallery arrives, and you pick your favorites from it. She then edits and colors the chosen photos individually and sends the finished set within 14 days. You can view, download or share them in an online gallery, which stays active for 1 year.

The preview inside a day suits couples who fly home soon after the wedding and want to choose their images while the trip is still fresh.

Three session packages, priced in November 2026

There are three packages. READY FOR ANYTHING is CHF 320 for a 1-hour shoot with 10 edited photos and 2 printed ones, the prints made with a Fujifilm Instax. MORE AMOR POR FAVOR is CHF 450 for 1 hour, 30 edited photos and 5 printed ones. ON ANOTHER LEVEL is CHF 600 for 2 hours across 2 to 3 different locations, with 60 edited photos, 10 printed ones and a small present.

These packages are only for portrait, lifestyle, couple, family and engagement shoots. For a wedding or event, send a request with the date and details, and she replies with detailed information. So the three prices cover her shorter sessions, which makes them a useful reference for an engagement shoot or a pre-wedding portrait in the mountains, while wedding coverage is quoted separately. A one-hour shoot with Instax prints to take home is a low-stakes first meeting with her before the wedding itself.

Fog, snow and a fireplace backup

Mountain weather is part of the plan. She is up for everything, even fog, rain, snow and wind, and respects the power of the mountains, with the view that there is always a solution. If staying outside isn't possible, the alternative is to move indoors next to a fireplace for a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Even a secret proposal that goes wrong gets an answer, a warm reply that you already have whatever you need. A fireplace waiting behind the fog is a calm thing to know about before you commit to a mountain date.

Intimate weddings, classic weddings and elopements

Her Zermatt weddings work falls into three kinds of day: intimate weddings, classic weddings and elopements. Elopements honor the couple's freedom and the quiet intimacy of the day. The approach is personal and focused on the emotions that fill the space between the moments, with no rush and no pressure, so you feel comfortable and present. It leads to her contact page rather than a price list. A pre-wedding apéro at Cervo in Zermatt features in one client's account.

From Prague via Klosters to Zermatt

Her background reads as a personal story rather than a CV. She was born and grew up in Prague, and her mother always told her she had her own world. After half a year in Iceland she looked for work in Davos, Arosa or Lenzerheide, and moved to Klosters in Graubünden to wait tables in a mountain restaurant. One night she dreamt of the Matterhorn, took it as a sign and looked for a job in Zermatt. Since 2015 she has been living her dream. As a photographer she is driven by the emotions that connect people and she came to the valley because of the mountain itself.

Two other options for a Zermatt wedding

Roman Schaller advertises "CHF 0.- Anfahrtsspesen" and a free photo booth with every wedding, with travel anywhere in Switzerland included (read November 2026). Wild Souls United plans adventure elopements that include helicopter and ski days in Zermatt. Nickeys World centers on clearly scheduled sessions with a 24-hour preview, which fits a couple who want a Matterhorn portrait session around the wedding as well as coverage of the day.

Wedding coverage terms aren't published, so the first step is her contact page with your date and plans.
