For the two of you

Looking for a shared experience that is more than a studio photoshoot?

Then we head into the mountains together. You spend a day for the two of you in nature around Schladming-Dachstein, and I capture your loveliest moments with the camera. No forced smile in front of a backdrop, but real images of a day you will happily look back on. Whether as a gift for your anniversary, as a memory of your time together or simply because you love the mountains.

Private and personal

The day belongs to just the two of you

On a private photo hike with alongside.outdoor I am out there with you and show you the loveliest spots for the best photos. I plan the route to match the weather and your pace, guide you safely through the mountains and photograph alongside with professional gear. On the private tours the half day or full day can be planned entirely around your wishes. While we are on the trail or taking a break, I capture the moments without pushing myself into the foreground. Within three to five working days you receive fifteen individually edited photos per person plus all remaining shots unedited as a digital download.

What makes it special

Why a day in the mountains makes the better couple photos:

  • Real images in motion instead of stiff studio poses, because out there you are completely yourselves
  • The mountain backdrop of Schladming-Dachstein, which no studio can recreate
  • You don't have to plan a thing, I take care of the route, safety and the loveliest spots
  • A memory you keep, long after the day is over

Are you planning a marriage proposal in the mountains?

Then you are in exactly the right place. I photograph your proposal right in the mountains around Schladming, completely discreetly. Let me know beforehand and I plan the route to a fitting spot and keep myself ready in the background. The moment you ask the question, I photograph it without your partner suspecting a thing. That way you have your engagement not only in your memory, but in real images that show exactly that instant. Whether a spontaneous proposal or a planned engagement shoot afterwards, just write to me with what you have in mind, and we plan it together.

How your day works

How your private photo hike unfolds

1

Enquiry and pre-call

You write to me about what you have in mind. We have a short call and talk through the weather, your fitness level and any special wishes. Then I choose a route that suits you.

2

Hike with photography

We hike together and I photograph alongside. At special spots we stop for deliberate shots, otherwise the images come about naturally while you simply enjoy the day.

3

Break and wind-down

We take a break at a mountain hut where you can stop in peace. On request your tour ends there, so you can let the day wind down at leisure. We discuss the loveliest huts in the pre-call.

Frequently asked questions

What else you might want to know

Do we have to pose for the camera?

No. I photograph you documentary-style while we are out walking. You hike, talk, laugh, look at the landscape, and I capture it. If you would like a specific shot, for example at a mountain lake, I help you into the pose. Everything else happens on its own.

Is the tour suitable for a marriage proposal?

Very much so. Let me know beforehand and I plan the route to a fitting spot and keep myself ready in the background. I photograph the moment of the proposal without your partner noticing a thing. That way you have your engagement captured in real images.

How fit do we need to be?

A normal base fitness is enough. I choose the route to match your level, from an easy alpine path to a slightly longer mountain tour. In a pre-call we clarify what suits you, so the day stays relaxed and never turns into a test of endurance.

When is the best light for couple photos?

Early in the morning and in the late afternoon, when the light is soft and warm. On request I plan the tour as a sunrise or sunset hike. You don't have to, your photos will be lovely during the day too, but the early and late light has something special in the mountains.

How many photos do we get?

Fifteen individually edited photos per person, plus all further shots unedited as a digital download. For a couple that means thirty edited images plus the complete rest. You receive the download link within three to five working days.

Can we also book without photography?

Yes. Then it becomes a classic private mountain hike for two, entirely without a camera. Have a look at the private tours or write to me with what you have in mind.

What happens in bad weather?

In safety-relevant weather such as thunderstorms or storms we move the tour to an alternative date. In light rain we decide together, safety always comes first. If no alternative date can be found and I cancel for weather or safety reasons, you of course get your money back.
