Caroline and Russell (otherwise known as Caz & Russ) are keen snowboarders and head to the Alps on a yearly basis, their favourite resort being Mayrhofen in Austria. Once Russell proposed to Caroline over a year ago, they decided to have a very non-traditional wedding in the sense, and create a fun day for their guests in a winter setting in Mayrhofen. About 40 guests came in from the UK and they had a fabulous week on the slopes and in the mountain resort, with the main focus being on Caz and Russ’s special day.



At more than 2000m up the slopes, the scene was set. Rose petals were strewn while guests slowly started to arrive, and hot chocolate and brownies were served to keep everyone warm.



Here comes the Bride ……..



I love this shot of them each holding their vows …..



Much to everyone’s suprise, a sudden snowball fight broke out …..
BRIDESMAIDS VS GROOMSMEN !!!






We then all headed up to WHITE LOUNGE , an igloo bar up one of the ski slopes,
for some seriously chilled champagne!







Finally some aprés ski drinks, before heading to a traditional restaurant
for some heartfelt Austrian food. I loved Caroline’s rustic approach to her
decorations throughout the day.

Hi there, I am looking to get married in exactly this kind of style and couldn’t believe how perfect it was when I saw these beautiful photos. I do not know Mayrhofen well enough to know venues etc and wandered whether you may be able to ask Caroline and Russell if I may be able to contact them for some details on such a perfect wedding. It is something I so want to do but I just do not know where to start. Many thanks Beckie.
Hi Beckie! Have emailed Caroline to check, will let you know xo
