A hot summer day in Switzerland is a great excuse to head up into the mountains! I recently had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful couple from Japan during their honeymoon on Männlichen Mountain.
At an elevation of around 2,342 metres, it was noticeably cooler than down in the valleys, making it a wonderful place to escape the summer heat. With spectacular views towards Wengen and Grindelwald, there was no shortage of incredible backdrops.
The couple had thoughtfully packed their wedding outfits for their honeymoon, giving us the opportunity to create some beautiful wedding portraits with the iconic Eiger mountain in the background. It’s always special to see couples bring their wedding clothes to Switzerland and create a completely different set of memories in the Swiss Alps.
Männlichen has plenty of fantastic locations for photography, and you don’t have to walk far to find spectacular views. Of course, being in the mountains also comes with a few little surprises — including the occasional cow manure! 
Despite that small challenge, Männlichen is a fantastic location for a wedding or honeymoon photo shoot. The combination of dramatic mountains, fresh alpine air, and breathtaking scenery makes it a memorable place to capture a special occasion.
