Film de Mariage

Film de Mariage is a wedding videography service for French-speaking Switzerland, covering the cantons of Vaud, Geneva, Valais, Fribourg, Neuchâtel and Jura, with Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux and Fribourg named as its main areas. The pitch is simple: record every emotion of the wedding day, discreetly, and deliver the film quickly. The site describes the result as a high-end wedding video and promises a film that is unique and personal to each couple rather than a standard product. The homepage opens with the line "Une union. Une Promesse. Un souvenir Eternel" (one union, one promise, an eternal memory), and every section ends with a button to book or get in touch, so the site is built to start a conversation rather than to sell a fixed package online.

The Wedding Film

The homepage describes the day as the couple's own and says the aim is to record all of its emotions, from the preparations to the pièce montée (the tiered wedding cake). Every moment, the site says, counts as much for the couple as for the filmmaker. The videographer's stated approach is discreet: rather than directing the day, the focus is on each glance, each burst of laughter and the emotions guests share, and the experience section adds exchanges of looks and tears of happiness to that list.

The site describes its method as a mix of deep technical skill and a human-centered way of working meant to catch each emotion authentically. The wording moves between "I" and "we," so it is not clear from the site whether one person or a small team films on the day, which is worth asking.

Same-Day Teaser and Video Guest Book

The most distinctive item is the teaser. The heading promises it the same day, and the text sets the scene of a couple just opening their eyes as the emotions of the day before fade, and then receiving their first gift: a short teaser of the best moments of the wedding. Either way, a short edit arrives long before the full film.

The second extra is a video guest book. Instead of a written book, guests are invited to speak to the camera, and the business collects their testimonies and stories and turns them into a video guest book. For couples whose families are spread across several countries, this is a practical way to keep messages from guests who may not meet again soon.

Editing Styles

Under the heading for a special format, the site offers poetic, dynamic or romantic edits, made on request. The idea is that the couple chooses the tone of the film to fit their story, rather than receiving one house style. The page presents the chosen format as a cinematic experience meant to reflect the couple's love story. The page does not show examples of each style side by side, so a couple choosing between them should ask to see samples.

Delivery Times and Working Hours

Film de Mariage makes a clear delivery promise under the heading of an express delivery service. The page says the business knows couples do not like to wait: the maximum delay is 30 days, with an average delivery under 15 days. For couples who want the film while the day is still fresh, that written commitment is useful.

The business lists its hours as Monday to Saturday, 9h to 19h. It encourages couples to call to share their ideas, wishes and expectations for the film, and says that talking things through lets it offer a tailored service. Contact is by phone on +41 77 201 35 65 or by email at contact@film-de-mariage.ch, and the site links to Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.

Drone Rules

On drones, the site makes one specific point: depending on the town and canton, the rules for drones vary, so a check has to be made in advance to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day. It does not say more about drone footage than that, so couples who want aerial shots should raise the venue early in the first call.

Experience

The site speaks of many years of experience in wedding films and of having helped hundreds of couples create their memories. It gives no founding year, no name for the videographer and no team page, and it shows no client reviews on the homepage. The films themselves are shown through the linked YouTube and Instagram channels rather than a gallery with named weddings, so a couple who wants to judge the work at a venue similar to theirs should ask for a full film from a comparable wedding.

What the Site Does Not Settle

The site publishes no prices, so a quote comes out of the phone conversation. It does not say whether the business travels outside French-speaking Switzerland or what travel costs, which matters for couples marrying in German-speaking Switzerland or abroad. The whole site is in French and it says nothing about working in English or German, or about filming a ceremony held in another language; couples from abroad should settle this on the first call. It does not say whether raw footage is available, how the teaser and final film are delivered (download link or physical copy), or how long the full film runs. The person behind the business is not named. Nor does the site say how booking is confirmed, whether a deposit is taken, or whether a second camera operator can be added, all of which a couple planning from abroad will want in writing before committing.

Who This Suits

Film de Mariage suits couples marrying in Vaud, Geneva, Valais, Fribourg, Neuchâtel or Jura who want an emotion-focused film shot discreetly rather than a staged production. The same-day teaser and the published delivery times will appeal to couples who want to share their day quickly with family abroad, and the video guest book is a useful extra for international guest lists.

It is less suited to couples who want to compare prices online before making contact, since everything runs through a conversation, or to couples who need detailed information in English before the first call. Couples from abroad can start by email if a phone call across time zones is difficult, then move to the call the business prefers.
