Videographer in Montreux · Vaud Riviera

Films made for Montreux and the Riviera

In Montreux, Vevey and across the Vaud Riviera, I produce corporate films, brand content, interviews and event videos. Each shoot is planned around the location, the light on Lake Geneva, privacy requirements and the expected level of finish.

  • Hotels, premium brands, institutions, artists and event organisers.
  • Brand films, editorial interviews, product content and social edits.
  • A compact setup or a larger crew, depending on the location, contributors and schedule.

I’m Laurent Henry, an independent videographer, camera operator, editor and drone pilot. I help companies, brands, premium venues and event teams in Montreux produce polished films with a clear story.

  • Regular work across Montreux, Lausanne, Geneva, Annecy and the Lake Geneva region.
  • Selected work across luxury, cosmetics, tourism, outdoor sport and corporate communications.
  • A direct working relationship: you deal with the person who prepares, films, edits and delivers your video.

A videographer for your productions
in Montreux and across the Riviera

Filming in Montreux calls for careful planning around the light on Lake Geneva, busy waterfronts, grand hotels, concert halls, the Lavaux vineyards, the steep terrain towards Rochers-de-Naye and a packed events calendar. I work with brands, hotels, institutions, artists, agencies and event teams, with a visual approach suited to the Riviera's high-end setting.

Nearby areas covered

  • Montreux, Clarens, Territet, Veytaux, Villeneuve and Chillon Castle.
  • Vaud Riviera: Vevey, La Tour-de-Peilz, Corseaux, Blonay, Saint-Légier and Lavaux.
  • Lausanne, Aigle, Villars-sur-Ollon, Gstaad and nearby resorts, depending on the project.

Projects suited to the area

Event films, content for hotels and venues, tourism and heritage videos, interviews with artists or executives, premium event coverage and high-end productions around the lake.

Drone, access and logistics

Shoots on the Riviera need to account for waterfront access, visitor traffic, hotel logistics, vineyard areas and mountain weather. For drone work, I check local restrictions and populated areas, and plan ground-based or long-lens alternatives when a flight is not appropriate.

Production guarantees

A clear framework before, during and after filming

Every project is prepared within a professional framework: location constraints, safety, usage rights, delivery formats and the schedule are clarified before production begins.

As a professional drone pilot, I check flight zones, local restrictions, weather, required authorisations and ground-based alternatives when flying is not appropriate.

Each shoot is planned with safety in mind: location checks, access, permissions, suitable equipment and professional insurance for work with companies, agencies and venues.

Brief, recce, shot list, filming, editing, colour grading, graphics and exports: each step is structured to remove uncertainty and keep the project moving smoothly.

Delivery formats, editing timelines, included feedback rounds, social media versions and usage rights are set out in the quote, so the intended use of the video is clear from the start.
