Couple photographer in Bregenz

A couple photographer in Bregenz is a photographer who spends an hour or two with the two of you, for an anniversary, a visit or simply because you want good pictures together, and guides you through places that feel like the city rather than a postcard. Away from the shore, the upper town is the quiet heart of Bregenz: the Counts of Montfort founded the town on this plateau around 1250, and the walls are still visible from below. The Deuringschlössle with its corner tower, which Egon Schiele used as a motif, and the Ehre-Guta-Platz, named after the woman who warned Bregenz of an Appenzell attack in 1406, give a couples session a sense of story.

The tourism board’s walk through the upper town takes about an hour at a leisurely pace, which is also a good length for a session. We go up from the Rathausstraße and the Maurachgasse, use the narrow lanes and the old stairways, and finish in the Thurn und Taxis park with its large old trees. You receive an edited gallery of around 50 to 100 pictures within an agreed time. Overcast days work beautifully here: the stone and plaster walls take soft light well.

The stairway that links the Thalbach monastery with the parish church of St. Gallus, steep and green, good for walking pictures.

Good to know

Start at the Rathausstraße: the climb via the Maurachgasse to the upper town takes only a few minutes on foot.
The lanes are cobbled; bring shoes you can walk in for an hour and change for close-ups if you like.
In mid-October the sun sets around 18.35; start the session at about 16.30 to have soft light in the lanes and still reach the lake for the last glow.

Frequently asked questions

Where can we take couple photos in Bregenz away from the lake?

The upper town of Bregenz, the medieval core above the centre, has quiet lanes, the Deuringschlössle, the Ehre-Guta-Platz and old stairways. It is a short climb from the Rathausstraße and calm even when the shore is crowded.

How long is a couples session in Bregenz?

A couples session in Bregenz usually lasts 60 to 90 minutes, about the length of the tourism board’s walk through the upper town. Add an hour if you also want sunset pictures at the lake.

Can a couple shoot in Bregenz combine the old town and the lake?

Yes. The upper town and the lakeside promenade of Bregenz are only a short walk apart, so a couple photographer can start in the lanes in the afternoon and finish by the water for sunset.
