Peace Love Leigh

Peace Love Leigh is a wedding photographer whose site offers weddings in Switzerland, destination weddings in Europe, Swiss Alps elopements, couples and engagement photography, and family photography. The site runs in English and French, and its journal carries detailed accounts of weddings she has photographed, including a wedding in Valais with a church ceremony in Saillon and a reception at the Hotel Chalet Royal Veysonnaz. For couples from abroad, the English version and a promised reply within 24 to 48 hours make first contact straightforward.

Services

The English menu lists the services plainly: Weddings in Switzerland, Destination Weddings in Europe, Swiss Alps Elopements, Couples & Engagement Photography and Family Photography. The French version groups the work into weddings, couples, family and portraits. There are also reviews, a journal, a portfolio and an about page. Weddings in Switzerland and elopements in the Alps are listed as separate services, which is useful for couples who want a small ceremony with only a photographer present rather than a full-day wedding.

The Valais wedding

The journal post "Découvrez Le Charme d'un Mariage Suisse dans Le Valais Historique", dated 13 October 2024, is the most detailed piece on the site and shows how she tells a wedding day.

The ceremony took place in a historic church perched above Saillon, which she describes as a place full of character and charm. Before it, the couple had an intimate first-look moment in the Vignes de Farinet, a vineyard that means a lot to them: she writes that it is where they shared their first kiss and made many memories, including with their daughter, Léane. She notes, with some amusement, that she shares the same first name as the couple's daughter, and calls it "une coïncidence extraordinaire" (an extraordinary coincidence).

After the ceremony the guests moved up to the Hotel Chalet Royal Veysonnaz, which she describes as perched on the mountain, with sweeping views over the valley and mountain scenery as the backdrop for the evening. She adds that the hotel combines exterior beauty and traditional Swiss architecture with high-end amenities, which she considers well suited to a luxury wedding, offering both relaxation and adventure in the dramatic alpine setting of Veysonnaz. She describes the vineyards of the first look in similar terms, with rolling hills and bright green vines, and closes the post by saying that Valais, with its views, offers intimate and spectacular settings for couples who want to marry there. For a couple weighing a mountain wedding, the post shows how a day can move from a vineyard to a hilltop church and then up to a hotel on the mountain.

The cocktail hour opened with a spectacular entrance, followed by a flash mob led by the guests. The couple then performed choreographed dance moves while wearing their hiking backpacks, which reinforced the travel theme of the wedding and its decoration. She mentions "des étiquettes de bagages pour les cartes d'escorte" (luggage tags used as escort cards) among the personal details, and says games and entertainment kept the energy up through the evening, with heartfelt speeches along the way. She sums the day up as "un magnifique mélange de culture, d'amour, de rires et de beauté scénique" (a wonderful mix of culture, love, laughter and scenery).

Working with planners and suppliers

The post gives generous credit to the planner. Stéphanie Besse of Sassy Wedding organized and decorated the event and acted as master of ceremonies, bringing both organization and humor to the role. The photographer credits her attention to detail and her ability to keep the day flowing and calm with letting the couple enjoy every moment without stress.

The full supplier list follows: Sassy Wedding for planning and decoration, the Hotel Chalet Royal Veysonnaz as venue, Tendance Florale for flowers, Mademoiselle Collection for the dresses, L'Atelier Surmesure for the suit, T de Bonheur for stationery, Almène Exquis for hair and make-up, DJ Jesus 1969, and Selfiematon.ch for the photo booth. For a couple planning in Valais from abroad, a credited team from a real wedding is a practical starting point.

Other Swiss work

The journal's recent posts point to more Swiss weddings and shoots: a wedding at the Château de Bonmont, a luxury wedding at St. Charles Hall in Lucerne titled "Decadent Chocolate Rêverie", and a timeless bridal inspiration shoot at the Fairmont Montreux Palace. Together with the Valais wedding, they show work in Valais, on the Swiss Riviera, in Lucerne and at a château, from a mountain hotel to a palace hotel. Couples can ask to see full galleries from any of them.

How to get in touch

The journal post ends with a contact form, which asks for names, email, a message, the wedding date, the wedding location or venue, and how the couple heard about her. The email address is peaceloveleighphotography@gmail.com, and she is on Instagram as @peace_love_leigh. On the English form, the confirmation reads "I'll personally be in touch within 24–48 hours."

Language

The site has an English and a French version, and this journal post is published in French on both. The English navigation, contact form and confirmation message show that she works with English-speaking couples at the inquiry stage. Couples who need German or Italian for family or guests should ask.

What the site does not settle

The post does not give prices, packages or hours of coverage, and it does not say how images are delivered or how long editing takes. It does not state where she is based, how travel costs are handled for weddings in the mountains or abroad, whether a second photographer is available, or the deposit and cancellation terms. The services pages in the menu may carry some of this; anything they do not answer belongs in the first message through the form.

Who it suits

Peace Love Leigh suits couples who want a personal, story-driven record of the day with close attention to the details they have planned, from luggage-tag escort cards to a choreographed dance in hiking backpacks. The Valais wedding shows her comfortable with a church ceremony, a mountain hotel reception and a lively evening program, and the other posts show hotel and château weddings elsewhere in Switzerland. English-speaking couples and couples who want an alpine elopement will find the services listed for them directly. Couples who need prices up front should write early and ask for them.
