Wedding photographer Florian Heurich reveals his top wedding locations in the Rheingau
As a wedding photographer in Frankfurt, there are a few top wedding locations almost on the doorstep: whether the picturesque Eltville on the Rhine, Wiesbaden, Mainz or the breathtaking backdrop of the Rheingau. The regional abundance of dream wedding locations in the Rhine-Main area can be almost overwhelming when it comes to finding the perfect place for the big day.
As a wedding photographer, I of course not only look at places for their festive wedding atmosphere, I also always look through the camera in search of backdrops for unforgettable, romantic, personal wedding photos.
More than just wedding pictures: tips from professional wedding photographers
With wedding locations you are spoiled for choice, because on the big day of the wedding everything should be right and perfect. This includes feeling good. Even the most beautiful wedding location can be the wrong one if you don't have the feeling that you can relax with the wedding guests until late into the night.
Here, the wedding photographer can give a few important tips in advance. Maybe there are certain wishes, in what framework the couple shoot should look like on the wedding day or there are certain pictures in your head, how the wedding should look like – but there is no brilliant idea where there is a dream location? Apart from the Wedding Planner, nobody knows as many different wedding locations as the professional wedding photographer.
Florian Heurich, wedding photographer from Frankfurt, who photographs weddings in the entire Rhine-Main area and captures them in unforgettable, authentic wedding pictures, gives a small selection of top wedding locations here. Without claim to completeness, but as an introduction to the search for the perfect place for an all-round beautiful wedding day in the Rheingau.
Castle wedding for individualists: Jagdschloss Platte
Located directly at the gates of Wiesbaden, the Jagdschloss Platte is a perfect wedding location for individualists. The former hunting residence of the ducal family of Nassau combines historical architecture with modern elements to create a unique setting for weddings. Located in the green, the Jagdschloss Platte offers a panoramic view of the Rhine Valley. Unique atmosphere and beautiful wedding pictures are almost guaranteed. And what is special: Here you can celebrate very small and intimate, but it can also host wedding celebrations for over 300 guests.
Imperial weddings in the villa in the valley
The villa is located in the valley in the neighborhood of the Jagdschloss Platte. The historic half-timbered villa is the former summer residence of Kaiser Wilhelm II and a popular wedding and conference location. The classically elegant ambience and the idyllic location in the green ensure atmospheric wedding celebrations and are the perfect backdrop for elegant wedding pictures – that is also the opinion of the Frankfurt wedding photographer Florian Heurich. The beautiful individual location also means that you can party here until the early morning.
Dream wedding for visionaries: Villa Rothschild
The 5-star luxury hotel Villa Rothschild is located in Königstein im Taunus. Surrounded by 10 hectares of park with a view of the Königstein Castle and Frankfurt, you can celebrate in style in the former summer residence of the Rothschild banking family. In an ambience that breathes a touch of history and welcomed more than a blue-blooded guest. This is getting married in the best company. The individually designed rooms and suites are luxurious in taste and, from the wedding photographer's point of view, perfect for getting-ready shots. And logistically, the wedding in the luxury hotel naturally also offers many advantages, not least the excellent food in the hotel's restaurant.
Wedding jewel Eltville: marriage at Crass Castle
Burg Crass is located directly on the banks of the Rhine in the picturesque wine and sparkling wine town of Eltville. Particularly practical: the castle is within walking distance of the registry office. An advantage that wedding photographer Florian Heurich also appreciates. This way, wedding pictures and a couple's shoot can be inserted into the wedding day without much logistical effort – and against a historical backdrop of the Rhine. The oldest surviving building in the city is made for small and large weddings. In summer with Rhine flair and in winter with castle character. And the short ways run through: The individual rooms of the hotel are made for happy, tired wedding parties.
Not just for wine lovers: wedding at the Baron Knyphausen winery
The Baron Knyphausen winery was originally an offshoot of the famous Eberbach Abbey. Today, in addition to the winery, it also houses a manor hotel with 14 rooms and a wine lounge with a garden bar. The best conditions for lavish summer weddings. The Draiserhof is a popular wedding location that offers a festive and relaxed setting. And always important: diverse backdrops for the wedding photo album. Special delicacies: The wines of the estate are perfect wedding companions and also remain in good memories.
Wedding luxuriously in the wedding hotel Kronenschlösschen
In and around Eltville, the choice is really difficult: wedding at the winery or at the castle with a view of the Rhine? Or at the luxury hotel? Then the Frankfurt wedding photographer Florian Heurich recommends the Hotel Kronenschlösschen in the romantic village of Hattenheim. Particularly beautiful: the park with centuries-old trees is the atmospheric setting for summer weddings and unforgettable wedding pictures.
Wedding in the name of the rose: Getting married in Eberbach Abbey
Near Eltville is the former Cistercian Abbey of Eberbach Abbey. The extensive monastery complex is known as the backdrop for the film “Name of the Rose” and today houses the Hessian state wineries, among others. The monastery is also a popular wedding location. The large number of historical rooms offers a setting for every taste and every wedding party, whether in the tightest of spaces or with over 200 guests. Eberbach Abbey gives every wedding a certain something that will be remembered and shown on the wedding pictures, according to wedding photographer Florian Heurich.
Getting married in the Rhein-Main area: wedding locations for every taste
Fairytale castles, mighty castles, picturesque vineyards and the dreamlike backdrop of the Rhine – no wonder that the Rheingau is so popular for getting married. But the rest of the Rhine-Main area also offers a variety of special locations for the big day in a couple's life.
Art Nouveau wedding at the Dolce by Wynham in Bad Nauheim
If you love Art Nouveau architecture, you should go to Bad Nauheim. Around 1900 the city in the Wetterau was one of the leading baths in Germany, which attracted empresses as well as artists and American tycoons. A wedding at Dolce by Wynham offers the opportunity to celebrate a wedding that revives the splendor of that old time. The 4-star hotel offers an incomparably tasteful setting in which to enjoy and celebrate – for unforgettable wedding moments.
Wedding in the industrial monument: Druckwasserwerk in Frankfurt am Main
Stylish wedding and urban style are not mutually exclusive. The wedding location Druckwasserwerk in Frankfurt shows how well this works. The former pressurized waterworks located in the west harbor of the city now offers a unique, historical setting in the memorial, which not only houses an exceptional restaurant, but is also an unusual wedding location. Wedding photographers like Florian Heurich appreciate the Druckwasserwerk because, in addition to the individual atmosphere, it also offers a wonderful backdrop for urban-inspired wedding pictures.
Wedding location with secrets: Villa Kennedy in Frankfurt am Main
The luxury hotel Rocco Villa Kennedy is located in the listed Villa Speyer in Sachsenhausen. The historicizing design language of the architecture makes the villa a special setting for elegant, stylish wedding celebrations at a high level. Particularly beautiful: the almost enchanted, green inner courtyard of the hotel, which reflects what the hotel is: an elegant retreat in a dynamic metropolis. A perfect wedding location for all Frankfurt lovers. Particularly interesting: The central location enables a variety of options for the wedding day. Be it the choice of the wedding location or the backdrop for the couple shoot. The Villa Kennedy is a real Frankfurt lovers tip.
Weddings are as individual as the people who decide to take this big step. You deserve the most beautiful frame. And even if this was only a selection, it shows that Rheingau and the Rhine-Main area in particular are full of treasures that invite you to make the wedding day unforgettable. The proximity of all the wedding locations presented to Frankfurt and the transport connections is particularly practical. So the most picturesque corner in the Rheingau is quickly reached. An advantage that wedding photographers such as Florian Heurich from Frankfurt appreciate – the good transport connections enable an uncomplicated advance visit to the wedding location. This is a guarantee for relaxed wedding shootings and unique backdrops. The result is a photo album full of personal, authentic wedding memories.
