Welcome to Story Of Your Day
Story Of Your Day is the wedding film company of Emma Wilson, a former BBC video journalist based in Wengen in the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland, filming weddings, elopements and proposals across Switzerland, Italy, France, Austria, the UK and further afield. Her films are observational rather than staged, built from what actually happened on the day and edited into a story rather than a highlight montage.
Story Of Your Day is run by Emma Wilson, who spent more than two decades at the BBC as a newsreader, reporter and one of its pioneer video journalists, filming, reporting and editing her own stories. She filmed her first wedding while still at the BBC, built the company alongside her news work and eventually left to run it full time. She now lives in Wengen, the car-free village in the Jungfrau Region, and is a Canon Educator.
We don’t follow trends. We don’t stage moments. We create films grounded in authenticity, designed to move you now and for years to come.Emma Wilson, founder and creative director (storyofyourday.com)

Emma directs, films and edits every film herself and limits her calendar to around 12 to 15 weddings a year, with a few elopements and proposals in between. Every commission includes an assistant, and for larger or multi-day weddings a small team films alongside her; the About page introduces associate videographers Matt, Nicole and Ronan, Jack on behind-the-scenes and ski...
