SDAV Pictures (David Szabo)

David Szabo runs SDAV Pictures from St. Moritz, and his background in architecture shapes how he sees light, composition and atmosphere. The work is cinematic photography and film in St. Moritz and beyond, covering editorial portraits, intimate weddings, surprise proposals and automotive stories. His documentary approach aims to keep the pictures honest, and he looks for images that feel composed but not staged. An alpine wedding with a hotel, changing light and a mountain backdrop is worth a visit to his portfolio before you choose anyone.

An architect's eye, and a wedding page written for visitors

For a couple planning from abroad, the useful fact is how openly the wedding page is set out. It is in English, it names the hotels he works around, it publishes starting prices, and it explains how to book.

Three collections, from a civil ceremony to a weekend

There are three collections, with prices read in November 2026. Small wedding coverage, for civil ceremonies, intimate weddings, an apero and couple portraits in St. Moritz, starts from CHF 1'350. The Full-Day Wedding Story runs from preparation through dinner, speeches and the evening celebration and starts from CHF 3'750. The third, a Custom Wedding Weekend for destination weddings and multi-day celebrations in Switzerland and beyond, is quoted individually. Everything is "from", so the figure you pay depends on the timeline you agree.

Shorter coverage is available for civil ceremonies, intimate weddings and small celebrations in St. Moritz, and multi-day coverage can include welcome drinks, rehearsal dinners, mountain events and wedding weekend stories. That range lets a ceremony for the couple alone and a multi-day gathering with guests from abroad both find a fit.

Local knowledge of the hotel weddings

St. Moritz weddings come with changing light, mountain weather, elegant hotel interiors and dramatic landscapes, and living in the town helps him plan around timing and location. The venues he names are Suvretta House, Badrutt's Palace and Kulm Hotel, "or elsewhere in St. Moritz". He also photographs weddings across the Engadin, Switzerland and selected destination locations, so the base is St. Moritz but the offer is not limited to it.

On the day he is quiet during real moments and clear when direction helps, guiding portraits with enough structure to keep couples comfortable and never stiff. He will suggest portrait locations by season, light, weather and your wedding timeline.

Engagement sessions and mountain proposals

For couples who arrive in St. Moritz ahead of the date, he offers a pre-wedding or engagement session as a relaxed way to get portraits before the pace of the wedding day starts. A couple session starts from CHF 490 in November 2026, which includes a pre-shoot consultation, location guidance, directed shooting, professional editing and a private online gallery. He also plans and photographs mountain proposals, discreetly planned and quietly photographed, from the first nervous moment to relaxed portraits afterward.

One form, then a call and a proposal

The process needs no phone call to start. You send your date, location and rough plans through the wedding form, which also asks for the venue, an estimated guest count and whether you want small wedding coverage, a full day or a wedding weekend. If he is available, you schedule a call and he sends a proposal with coverage options. Delivery is an online gallery of professionally edited images, and the delivery time depends on the collection you choose. The pages are written in English and do not list other languages.

If your plan is a small alpine ceremony or a hotel wedding in St. Moritz, with a photographer who already works the town's light and venues and answers from a single form, he is a clear match.
