DIMAX

DIMAX is a two-person team, Dima and Max, who photograph and film weddings across German-speaking Switzerland. Dima handles photography and Max handles film, and they sell themselves as one integrated service rather than a photographer and a videographer hired separately. The price page puts a complete photo and film wedding reportage between CHF 4,800 and CHF 6,500, with the photo and video team, drone footage, the edited images, the wedding film and travel included in every package. The team leans toward observed, natural moments rather than a heavily directed day, and the homepage adds that if a couple's wedding takes them abroad, the team travels with them.

One Team for Photo and Film

The core idea is integration. The homepage explains that a photograph holds a split second while the film holds everything that happens around it, the laughter before and the music after. Because the two plan the day's schedule together from the start, the site says the photographer and videographer never block each other on the wedding day. The about page makes the same point from another angle: a wedding does not need two service providers working side by side, and photo and film have to understand each other. For the couple, they write, that means less coordination, less disruption and one shared result instead of two independent productions.

Their approach to direction is spelled out plainly. They observe a lot, step in when it helps, give direction when it is needed and pull back when a moment already works. During the couple shoot they do guide the pair, so nobody has to know how to stand or where to look, but they say they do not want the wedding to look like a photo shoot. Authentic, in their definition, does not mean unedited or documentary at any cost. They pay attention to light, perspective, composition and atmosphere, and then write the line that sums up the brand: "Aber der Moment selbst soll euch gehören" (but the moment itself should belong to you).

Light and timing get their own section. The same location, they note, can look completely different at midday and in the evening, so they sometimes suggest small changes to the schedule. Their editing style is described as modern and emotional but deliberately timeless, avoiding looks tied to a passing Instagram trend.

Three Packages with Clear Inclusions

Collection I (CHF 4,800) is aimed at weddings concentrated on the afternoon and early evening. It includes 10 hours of coverage with a couple shoot, a minimum of 1,000 edited images, a highlight film of 3 to 5 minutes, a 25-minute wedding film, drone footage, a photo and video pair (1+1), a password-protected online gallery and travel.

Collection II (CHF 5,900) is marked as the most chosen option. It covers the full day from getting ready into the middle of the celebration: 12 hours, a minimum of 1,500 edited images, the highlight film, a 30-minute wedding film, drone footage, both team members working with two cameras each, a mobile flash setup, their own video lighting, the online gallery and travel.

Collection III (CHF 6,500) removes the clock. The team arrives before the first preparations and stays until the couple leaves. It includes a minimum of 2,000 edited images, the highlight film, a 45-minute wedding film, drone footage, the full two-camera and lighting setup, guest interviews during the party cut into the film, an instant gallery of 20 to 30 images on the wedding evening, a premium photo album, the online gallery and travel.

Weekday weddings have their own arrangement. A couple marrying Monday to Friday gets all-day coverage with no time limit, from the first moment to the last dance, within Collection I, listed from CHF 4,800.

Add-ons are priced individually: the instant gallery at CHF 150, guest interviews at CHF 200, two-camera filming at CHF 250, the flash setup and video lighting at CHF 150 each, extra hours of photo and video together at CHF 300 per hour, raw unedited files at CHF 300, and the handmade premium album of at least 30 pages at CHF 450. A deposit of CHF 400 is due when the contract is signed, and only then is the date reserved.

Where They Work

The site lists Zürich, Luzern, Bern, Zug, Basel, St. Gallen, Winterthur, Schwyz, Thun, Interlaken, Chur, Schaffhausen, Solothurn and Zermatt. A separate locations page describes the places couples search for first: Bürgenstock, which the page says sits 500 meters above Lake Lucerne with a continuous panorama and no hike required; the Rigi, called the Queen of the Mountains for over 150 years and offering a 360-degree view over several lakes; St. Moritz, at over 1,800 meters in the Engadin and known for clear, high-contrast light; the bays and shore towns of Lake Lucerne; Schloss Schadau in its English landscape garden on Lake Thun; Schloss Oberhofen, partly built over the water; and Gstaad in the Saanenland.

For couples marrying outside Switzerland, the homepage line about traveling abroad with the couple is the relevant one. Travel is included in every Swiss package, but the site does not say how travel abroad is priced.

How Booking Works

Inquiries go through a three-step form on the contact page, through WhatsApp (which the site calls the fastest route, with the message prefilled), by email at info@dimaxwedding.ch, or by phone on +49 1575 8178276, a German number. The team says it mostly replies the same day and tells you straight away whether the date is still free. Next comes a short getting-to-know-you meeting, by video call or in person, free and without obligation. The date is only reserved once the contract is signed and the deposit paid.

The journal adds practical planning material in German, including a rough timeline for the wedding day that recommends fifteen minutes of buffer after each larger block and a couple shoot in the softer late-afternoon light.

Portfolio and Reviews

The portfolio is sorted by moment: getting ready, ceremony, couple shoot, the film, the gallery and the album, with a note that more images are added with each new reportage. The homepage shows six short reviews in German. Ilona Tate writes of no clicking and no stress, just real emotions and beautiful footage. Marcel Seibel says their expectations were completely exceeded. Anna and Dennis say the two did great work and they were delighted with the images and the video, and Daniel K praises the performance, creativity and quality.

What the Site Leaves Open

The prices are clear, but some things are not on the site. It does not state a delivery time for the edited images or the film, or how long the online gallery stays available. There is no founding year and no count of weddings covered, so a couple cannot gauge experience from numbers.

The whole site is in German and it says nothing about working in English or any other language. A couple who does not speak German should raise this in the free first meeting, since the video call is the natural place to find out how comfortable the team is running a day in English.

Who This Suits

DIMAX fits couples who want photography and film from one coordinated team and would rather not hire and brief two separate vendors. The observational style with light direction suits couples who want the day to feel natural but look polished. Published prices with travel included make budgeting easy, and the weekday arrangement puts all-day coverage within the Collection I price for couples free to marry Monday to Friday. Couples who need an English-speaking team or who marry outside German-speaking Switzerland should confirm those points before signing.
