21 Jun Wedding Photography by the Blue Lake Balaton near Keszthely, Hungary

I absolutely love photographing weddings by Lake Balaton in Hungary. Balázs and Kriszta, who live and work in Budapest, chose this stunning location for their big day, as Balázs has a deep connection to the area, having spent every summer at his family’s holiday home by the lake.
We had the opportunity to do their portrait session the day before the wedding, which allowed for more creativity and flexibility. During this session, we visited some truly breathtaking spots. We started along the shores of Lake Balaton, capturing the picturesque views of Mount Badacsony. Next, we headed to a vineyard with the iconic Szigliget Castle in the background. Our journey continued to the Trinity Chapel in Szigliget, where the panoramic views of Lake Balaton and Badacsony Hill were absolutely spectacular. Finally, we caught the last rays of the sunset at the pier in Szigliget, creating some magical shots.
On the wedding day, I began photographing the bridal preparations at Hotel Zenit before we made our way to Tölgyes Kúria. This charming 1896 mansion, nestled among the vineyards, offered an incredible view of Lake Balaton’s rolling slopes. With perfect weather, the couple held their outdoor ceremony in the courtyard, surrounded by loved ones. The evening was filled with joy, laughter, and plenty of dancing on the terrace, making it a truly unforgettable celebration.
