Lake Achensee, sometimes called “The Fjord of the Alps” is the largest lake in the Austrian state of Tyrol. It is also the deepest at over 100 meters deep. It’s probably also one of the coldest, as you’ll find out if you’re ever been tempted to take a paddle in the clear shallow waters along the shoreline.
Melanie & Jesse
Melanie was born here in Tyrol but moved to the USA almost 20 years ago, where she met the gorgeous Jesse. Even though they have built a life together in Oklahoma with their two gorgeous dogs Sadie and Axel, Melanie has always dreamt of getting married in the mountains in Austria.
After a rather stressful journey and an unexpected last minute trip to get a passport renewed, they finally made it to Austria. The main reason for their visit was to visit family and start wedding planning. Melanie & Jesse wanted to have some engagement pictures taken whilst in Austria. Not just to capture this exciting time, but also to show friends and family back at home how beautiful Austria is.
During our time together up at the Achensee, we were treated to some stunning evening light as the golden sun started to sink behind the mountains. Although I’m not sure Melanie and Jesse were able to enjoy the scenery that much, as from where I was standing, it was each other that they couldn’t take their eyes off!
