An Intimate Winter Civil Wedding at Lake Tegernsee | Sophie & Christopher

There’s something beautifully serene about winter at Lake Tegernsee. The crisp mountain air, the calm waters, and a quiet charm that makes every moment feel more meaningful. On December 30th, 2024, Sophie and Christopher returned to this beloved place for their civil ceremony – a simple, stylish, and emotional prelude to their summer wedding.

Their two-hour elopement-style celebration was proof that less can be more. No frills, no crowd — just genuine emotion, sharp tailoring, and that unmistakable Tegernsee light.

Sophie wore a sleek silk gown from Belen Bridal Grünwald, paired with a soft faux-fur wrap and subtle glam by Selina Hübscher. The look was timeless and modern — a perfect reflection of her elegant minimalism.

Christopher matched her energy in a classic dark suit, and together they radiated intimacy and sophistication. From the vows in the registry office to the mountain-view portraits afterward, every moment was rich with feeling.

They even brought along their sweet dog — a detail that made the shoot even more personal.

As a photographer, I’m always drawn back to Tegernsee. Winter or summer, this place never fails to offer something magical. Having already captured their emotional summer wedding here, being part of their civil ceremony was deeply special — quieter, more tender, and filled with anticipation for what was still to come.
