11 Jun Unterhofalm, Filzmoos Wedding Film | Salzburg, Austria | Jacqueline + Tobias

When Jacqueline and Tobias approached us to capture their wedding film beneath the snowy peaks of Austria, we couldn’t have been more excited. They chose the stunning Salzburg region for their wedding, a location close to Tobias’s roots in Austria, though they currently reside in Hong Kong, where they first met. While we were initially concerned about potential COVID travel restrictions, they managed to arrive safely in Austria to celebrate their special day.
We stayed in Filzmoos, a charming town nestled in the Hoher Dachstein region, home to the second-highest mountain in the Northern Limestone Alps.

The morning greeted us with overcast skies and low-hanging clouds that surrounded the mountains. We began the day by filming a traditional Chinese tea ceremony at Alpenhotel Wurzer in Filzmoos. The bride and groom served tea to their parents, in-laws, and other family members, symbolizing the union of the two families—a touching and meaningful moment.
In the afternoon, we drove to Unterhofalm, an Alpine chalet nestled outside the town. Unterhofalm is an exceptional alpine pasture, offering panoramic views of the majestic Große Bischofsmütze, the highest peak of the nearby Dachstein Mountains.
The outdoor ceremony took place at Almsee, a serene lake situated at 1280 meters above sea level. Thankfully, the weather cleared up, and while the sky brightened, we were spared from the harsh glare of the sun.
The evening was filled with heartfelt and humorous speeches from the bride and groom, their mothers, Jacqueline’s sister, and Tobias’ brother. DJ LuLightner from Filzmoos provided the evening’s music, ensuring a lively atmosphere. The dance floor quickly filled after the couple’s opening dance. Wedding planner Ingrid Lugstein from Panorama Tours in Salzburg did an outstanding job organizing everything, ensuring the day went off without a hitch.
