Everyone always says that your wedding day is all about you. But let’s face it; that’s not always actually the case. Many couples stress over guest lists, planning, expenses, and all the frills and traditions of your standard large wedding that they may or may not even be interested in. Fortunately, though, the concept of small weddings is becoming increasingly popular for couples who either want to be able to completely customize their day where and when they want with the option...Read more

My name is Anastasia Arrigo and I am a wedding photographer - I have specialized exclusively in weddings because wedding photography is my passion. I was born and raised in Riga (Latvia). Since 1998 I live in Switzerland and for more than 10 years in one of the most beautiful and cozy towns in Switzerland, Bremgarten AG. I am happily married and mother of two wonderful children. Maybe I'll disappoint you, but I was not born with the camera in my hand and no, I did not find an old camera of my father in my childhood and since then I can not let go of photography. No, on the contrary, I started taking pictures pretty late. I taught myself everything, from the first small digital camera to the ultrazoom camera and on to the first SLR camera. Now I shoot with 2 Canon 5D Mark 3 cameras. Since 2011 I photograph weddings and since that time I have visited different workshops of my favorite photographers. [Aargau Wedding Photographer]

What I like in the work of wedding photographer is to be able to tell a story through my photos. My goal is to make the most beautiful images possible, with a real aesthetic research. My goal is that the bride and groom can flip through their album for many years always taking the same pleasure. I'm part of this new generation of wedding photographers who want to dust off the genre. I do not like the photos of 20 years ago with a stuck groom who does not know what to do and a bride with a frozen smile. It must be spontaneous, funny, alive and that it speaks of love.

Oftentimes when people are considering a venue for their weddings, they search for a location away from home, whether that be ten minutes or ten hours, all just to find what they already have: a place that holds meaning for them, that feels comfortable, or that they find special and memorable.

While some of us were fortunate enough to be born as extroverts, not everyone feels the same way. For a good chunk of the population, any number of the typical wedding day traditions can inspire anxiety and existential dread. This day is all about you, yes, but does that mean all the attention has to be on you as well? FROM VOWS TO CHITCHAT, WHICH REMAINS SACRED? Traditional weddings often require some degree of performance on the part of the couple, whether that is in the form of reciting...Read more
