In the past, beach weddings were a popular trend, but the newest trend in wedding photography is mountain weddings. It’s not hard to see why; mountains provide a breathtaking and majestic background for even the most understated and elegant of weddings.

Whether you are looking for a picturesque alpine meadow, a secluded glen, or a snow-capped peak, a mountain wedding location has it all. Additionally, the natural beauty of the mountains provides a sense of tranquility and peace that can’t be found in more urban settings.
The unique and spectacular scenery of a mountain wedding also provides endless opportunities for creative and unique wedding photography. Imagine exchanging vows in front of a cascading waterfall, or taking wedding photos with a panoramic view of the mountains in the background. The possibilities are endless, and the results are sure to be breathtaking.
If you’re looking for a wedding location that will provide you with jaw-dropping photographs that are worthy of a lifetime of frames, consider a mountain wedding. The natural beauty and awe-inspiring vistas of the mountains will make for a wedding that is truly unforgettable. So, these 20 photos of mountain weddings are sure to inspire and awe.
Use the landscape as a natural backdrop.
When you’re shooting a mountain wedding, it’s important to remember that the scenery is your backdrop. Don’t be afraid to get down on the ground and shoot straight up (just make sure you have a sturdy tripod!) or even into the sun if that’s what works for your couple. If you’re willing to get dirty, there are so many great ways to incorporate nature into your photos: hold hands and walk through leaves; jump up and down on mossy logs; lie in wildflower fields with your partner looking at each other through grasses blowing in the wind.
Surround yourselves with nature.
In a world of social media, we are constantly bombarded with images of weddings. We’ve seen the same venues, flowers and table settings over and over again. It’s easy to fall into a rut when it comes to your big day. So why not try something different? Take advantage of the scenery around you – after all, it’s one of the main reasons people travel from far away places to have their wedding in these locations!
The first step is finding out where you will be getting married. Once you’ve got that sorted out, think about how you can use the landscape as a backdrop for your photos while still incorporating nature inspired designs into your wedding attire or decorations. For example, if it’s somewhere in Europe like France or Italy where there are plenty of mountains nearby then consider taking some mountain shots during sunset so that light reflects off them beautifully behind you during portraits or formal family photos before heading into dinner/dancing etc…
Another option would be if there was a forest nearby where trees grow up against each other creating an archway; this could make an excellent backdrop for ceremony photos too! You could even incorporate decor like wooden logs onto tables at each place setting which would provide more interest than just having everything laid out flat on top 🙂
Incorporate mountain flowers.
Mountain flowers are often found in abundance in the mountains. Their unique beauty and rich colors make them perfect for your wedding photos. They’re also easy to find and easy to bring home, so you can use them in bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages at your wedding or on your honeymoon!

Take advantage of the forest.
The forest is a perfect place for a mountain wedding photo shoot. You can use trees as a backdrop, create natural frames for your photos, or use nature to make other elements of your wedding more beautiful. Here are some ideas:
- Use the forest as an archway for your ceremony. If you’re having an outdoor wedding and want to create some drama on the aisle walk, try setting up some large trees in front of where you’ll be walking down it so they form an archway over your head. This will also keep guests from being able to see what you’re doing until it’s time for them to watch (and maybe even help with crowd control).
- Use the forest as a tunnel entrance at reception time! Add lighting or white fabric along each side of this tunnel entrance so that when guests come out onto the dance floor they get hit with bright lights and lots of color! Then set up chairs under the trees around this area so people can sit down while waiting on line before entering through doorways in front of them (each couple has their own doorway).
Shoot in both the mountains and on the lake or river below.
Shoot in both the mountains and on the lake or river below. You can get a view of the mountains from miles away, which is great for a wide shot, but also have your couple in front of them for a more intimate portrait. Make sure you have enough time to get back up the mountain before sunset!
If you’re going to be shooting in the mountains, bring a tripod if you have one: it will help make sure that your photos are sharp despite having to use slower shutter speeds due to low light levels.
