Elegant Wedding in the Allgäu Mountains

A wedding in the Allgäu mountains is a dream for many couples. This particular wedding of a family with three young children, including twins, was filled with touching moments. As a wedding photographer in the Allgäu, I had the privilege of capturing this day in the mountains, documenting the family’s emotional journey through my lens. A special highlight was the encounter with a group of Haflinger horses, which we elegantly incorporated into the wedding portraits.

The Day Begins: Getting Ready in Jungholz, Austria

The wedding preparations took place in the cozy town of Jungholz in Austria. The atmosphere at the hotel was relaxed and family-oriented, as the bride lovingly prepared for the big day with her children, displaying an admirable blend of calmness and excitement.

Tears at the First Look in the Allgäu Mountains

The First Look was an unforgettable moment. With the charming Allgäu mountains in the background, on a green meadow, the bride and groom met for the first time that day. The emotions were undeniable, and tears flowed as they stood face to face for the first time—a private and touching encounter that set the tone for the day.

Wedding Portraits with Horses and Mountains on the Way to Meckatzer Sportalp

On the way to Meckatzer Sportalp in Bad Hindelang, where the wedding was to take place, we made a stop for the portrait shoot. As we drove through the idyllic landscape, we encountered a group of Haflinger horses. The brown horses with their almost golden coats and white manes were a perfect addition to the extraordinary wedding photos set against the backdrop of the Allgäu’s natural beauty. It was a lucky coincidence that added an elegant touch to the portraits.

Wedding at Meckatzer Sportalp in the Allgäu

The plan was for an outdoor church ceremony, but the weather had other ideas. Fortunately, Meckatzer Sportalp offered a charming, cozy alternative. In the rustic setting, accompanied by the emotional music of wedding singer Mara Notz, the ceremony became a heartfelt highlight. The location had special significance for the couple: just 10 minutes away, at Vilsalpsee, the groom had proposed—creating a meaningful connection that made the day even more special.

Wedding Celebration Filled with Laughter and Love

After the ceremony, the celebration continued joyfully at Meckatzer Sportalp. The couple’s children brought laughter and life to the party, while the guests relaxed and enjoyed the day with great joy.

Just before sunset, we captured some beautiful wedding portraits in the evening light—the Allgäu mountains provided the perfect backdrop, making the moment especially romantic.

The evening concluded with a wedding dance outdoors, surrounded by sparklers held by the guests. The children nestled in their parents’ arms—a final image that will remain in everyone’s memory.
