Hotel Lido · Seeshaupt

At Lake Starnberg

A civil ceremony in Schwabing in the morning, followed by a personal ceremony beside Lake Starnberg in the afternoon. This is one of my favourite weddings to have photographed.

One day,
two places.

The day began in Munich. The civil ceremony was in Schwabing, and the couple wore traditional dress. Afterwards there was finger food in the English Garden before everyone travelled to Lake Starnberg.

Sina from Symphonie Weddings in Munich planned this wedding. The photographs on this page show the afternoon and evening by the lake.

The ceremony

String quartet
and sunshine.

The personal ceremony took place at Hotel Lido in Seeshaupt, on the lawn in front of the building. The rows of chairs faced the water, a string quartet played, and then the sun came out as well.

After the vows, the couple walked back down the aisle through soap bubbles and flower petals. I position myself at the end of the aisle beforehand because the moment passes quickly and cannot be repeated. Nobody can plan the expressions that follow.

Guests celebrate the couple with soap bubbles.

In the evening

On the jetty.

In the evening, we returned to the jetty. The lanterns were already lit, the sun was low over the water, and for fifteen minutes the whole lake glowed orange. For pictures like these, I may briefly take you away from dinner. We were gone for less than twenty minutes, and those are the photographs that stayed with us from the evening.

want to know.

Where exactly was this wedding?

At Hotel Lido in Seeshaupt on the southern end of Lake Starnberg. The personal ceremony took place outside on the lawn in front of the hotel, followed by the celebration at the same location.

Would you photograph our wedding at Lake Starnberg too?

Gladly. I am based near Karlsruhe and travel to weddings at Lake Starnberg, Lake Tegernsee and elsewhere in Bavaria. Travel and any overnight stay are included in your offer.

How long does an evening portrait session at the lake take?

At this wedding, we spent just under twenty minutes on the jetty. It usually takes no longer when we already know where we are going. You will hardly miss any of your celebration.
