Winter bridal editorial in the Allgäu
A magical wedding shoot took place at the Nebelhorn mountain station in Oberstdorf, in the middle of the wintry Allgäu region. The couple opted for a winter elopement wedding that combined intimacy and adventure. Wrapped in the tranquil beauty of the snowy mountain landscape, the setting provided a unique and breathtaking backdrop that made the day unforgettable.
The bride wore a lace wedding dress, model KUESSdieGRENCHEN, which stood out with its simplicity and timeless elegance. The lace bodice with 3/4 sleeves and the high crepe skirt gave her a classic and sophisticated look. The minimalist style of the dress harmonized perfectly with the surroundings – the clear, white snow emphasized the purist design and let the bride shine. The groom chose a light-colored jacket, which he wore casually open with a white shirt without a tie or bow tie, complemented by dark trousers and a brown hat.
The shoot itself followed a well thought-out concept: elopement weddings, especially in winter, offer couples an intimate and stress-free alternative to the classic wedding celebration. High up in the mountains, far away from the hustle and bustle and expectations, the couple and their love were the absolute focus. No big guest list, no unnecessary stress – just the two of them, their bond and the magnificent natural backdrop. This intimate atmosphere made the day a very special experience.
Special details underlined the simplicity and romantic character of this shoot: a bouquet of dried flowers from Anna’s Blumenpoesie, whose colors and natural look perfectly matched the wintry mountain scenery. The rings were kept in a lovingly designed box, and a liqueur to toast the ceremony added a festive touch to the moment. After the ceremony, the couple enjoyed hot tea from beautifully designed cups chosen especially for the occasion – a small but lovely gesture to warm them up in the wintry cold.
The whole setting had a fairytale feel. The snow muffled the sounds and the mountains around them created an almost magical seclusion. The thick fog that drifted over the peaks and the vastness of the landscape emphasized the importance of the moment: it was all about the couple and the love they shared.
This decision to get married in the snow was a conscious one. It was not only a departure from traditional summer weddings, but also a sign of how liberating it can be to go your own way. While many think of summer heat and big celebrations, this couple chose the quiet, majestic beauty of winter – and were rewarded with gorgeous images by Sandra Sturm. The snow-covered peaks, the clear light and the untouched nature provided a backdrop that was hard to beat in its simplicity and beauty.
The concept behind this type of wedding – away from the hustle and bustle and with the focus on the couple – was reflected in every aspect of the day. The images told the story of a love that unfolds in simplicity and intimacy, showing that true beauty is often found in unexpected moments and places.
