Reasons to elope in the Jungfrau/Lauterbrunnen area

1. Many different kinds of landscapes – waterfalls, mountain lakes, cliffs, glaciers etc.

This region has so much to offer when it comes to different landscapes within 30 minutes driving distance. If you can’t choose one type of landscape for your elopement just do it all. Why not doing the wedding ceremony and some SUP at sunrise by Bachalpsee in Grindelwald, then head off with the helicopter to the glacier by Jungfrau for champagne. The cake you could enjoy by a waterfall in Lauterbrunnen and then have dinner under the stars at Schynige platte…

2. A lot of activities that fits an adventure wedding

The region offers so much to do. In winter you can ski, snowboard, sledge, winter hiking, snow shoeing or why not go ice skating in your wedding dress like an ice princess?

In summer you can hike, swim in a mountain lake, mountain biking, mountain carting, gliding through the sky in a cable, skydiving, paragliding or for the really crazy ones you could do wingsuit
For the James Bond fans, there is a high-altitude Bond Museum and why not rent a boat on Brienzersee and BE Bond.

3. Amazing landscapes in a wide range of altitudes

If you can’t go high, go low. If the top is too windy, you find shelter in Lauterbrunnen. If Lauterbrunnen gets like a boiling pot, go high. So, this also means that even in-between seasons and when it’s impossible to plan ahead because you will not know where the snow level will be you will always have an option. Just keep in mind that parts of the area are closing down in low season so you will not be able to do everything on the menu.

How to pick the most epic elopement location.

My quick answer is : You pick one that you like. But hey, there are so much more to it. I am not only a photographer I am also a mountain freak and I have done a lot of hikes and skiing through the Alps. I also guide you throughout the elopement process with things that you probably would never have thought about. As soon as you have booked, I send you a questionnaire to fill in. From there I will suggest one or a few spots that will fit your profile and elopement dreams. All locations have their own little story and some are easy to get to but many aren’t and some are good for sunrise, some for sunset. Some are more private and some are less. I will know most of that (as much as possible)
