A breathtaking wedding in the Austrian Alps – Penken mountains, Mayrhofen. A love story in the Austrian mountains

A couple getting married with a panoramic view in front of them in the Austria Penken Mountains.

If you’ve ever watched The Sound of Music and felt the magic of Julie Andrews twirling across Austria’s stunning landscapes, you’ll understand why we were beyond excited to capture Joe & Hannah’s wedding in the Penken mountains.

Surrounded by 360-degree panoramic views, this destination wedding in Mayrhofen, Austria, was an absolute dream.

A wedding venue in the clouds – Gschösswandhaus, Austria.

Joe has been visiting Mayrhofen since he was a child, a tradition he and Hannah now continue with their little ones. So, it only made sense to say their vows in a place that meant so much to them.

Their venue, Gschösswandhaus, sits at 1,800m on the Penkenbahn rock face, accessible only by gondola—talk about an entrance! And trust us, arriving via gondola to shoot this wedding? We were definitely feeling smug about our “job”!

The morning drizzle cleared just in time for the outdoor wedding ceremony on the terrace, overlooking Mayrhofen valley.

A German registrar, accompanied by her daughter who translated into English, led the ceremony in traditional Austrian attire—a beautiful touch to the day. As Joe & Hannah exchanged rings, happy tears turned into cheers and confetti as they walked back down the aisle as newlyweds.

Their wedding style? Wild, minimalist, and completely relaxed.

“Our style is wild and minimalist! The day will be extremely relaxed, and we just want to enjoy each other’s company.” – Hannah

The celebrations were full of Austrian traditions, including guests ringing cowbells during the wedding breakfast. The party kicked off with a DJ, speeches, and dancing—ending with a golden sunset and the distant chime of real cowbells from the fields below.

Before the big day, we took some dreamy pre-wedding photos at the couple’s cozy Austrian cabin in Mayrhofen. The rustic charm and breathtaking scenery set the perfect tone for their adventure.
