Sunset Elopement Above Grindelwald

One thing many couples don’t realize when eloping in the Alps is that accessing a mountaintop view during golden hour (sunrise or sunset) can be challenging. Many high-alpine locations utilize a cable car, and those are typically only open from 9 am to 5 pm. 

Want to know how to get your mountain top spot, golden hour, and avoid the killer hike? Do a two-day elopement, and stay overnight in a hut or hotel atop the mountain!  

That’s exactly what Jessica + Jason did, so they could enjoy some absolutely epic views above Grindelwald, Switzerland in total privacy. 😍

These two spent a relaxed morning getting ready in Lauterbrunnen, and had a first look at their hotel. Staying at an accommodation with a well-manicured property and easy access views is something we can’t recommend enough.👏

After walking through the crowded valley, we escaped to the mountains and found peace and quiet at one of my favorite locations. Along the trail, Jessica + Jason read letters from family and friends in between soaking up the epic views. They also stopped for wine at a hut. 

In the evening, we checked into a mountain hotel and took a short break for dinner. Afterward, it was time for their sunset vow exchange. While we had been unsure about getting caught in the rain, instead we were graced with an epic sunset among some of  Switzerland’s most majestic peaks. 

From sun up to sun down, these two got an unforgettable day in the Alps. ✨

Real Elopement Experience: A review from my couple

”Christine and Scott are both incredibly kind and compassionate people, they really cared about making our wedding day perfect. Christine was very helpful with location scouting and planning. She was very detailed in getting to know us and helping create our vision of our perfect elopement wedding. We got sneak peak photos back next day, and love every single one. I’d recommend Christine and Scott to anyone looking for an elopement wedding.”
