Wedding in Trun & Siat, Graubünden

A Romantic Wedding Reportage with an Outdoor Ceremony

Wedding Locations in the Surselva, Graubünden

J&S got married in their home villages of Trun and Siat — two beautiful places in the middle Surselva, surrounded by nature, mountain meadows, and the impressive alpine landscape of Graubünden.

The day began with a civil ceremony in Trun in the presence of their closest family members. Afterwards, we traveled to Siat, where the outdoor ceremony took place and friends and relatives joined the celebration.

It truly felt like a fairytale: bright sunshine, a deep blue sky, lush green mountain meadows (thanks to the rainy summer), and clear air with wide views across the alpine panorama. A perfect day for a wedding reportage in Graubünden.

Preparations in Siat

The couple got ready in different rooms of the bride’s parents’ house — full of anticipation and visibly nervous about this special day. For me as a wedding photographer, this intimate part of the day is always something very special.

First Look in Siat

The first look took place above Siat, on a rock with a breathtaking view. I waited there with the groom as the bride slowly walked up the steps toward him. An emotional moment framed by an impressive alpine backdrop.

Couple’s Portrait Session in Siat

Right afterwards, we moved to the forest above Siat for the couple’s shoot — a magical place that feels straight out of a fairytale. The moss-covered forest floor, tall fir trees, and the light filtering through the branches created beautiful patterns and a truly unique atmosphere.

We visited their personal favorite spot in the forest, and you could feel how meaningful this place was to them. The combination of mountain panorama and forest scenery added great variety to the portrait session.

Their dog — their loyal four-legged companion — was also by their side throughout the day.

Civil Ceremony at Cuort Ligia Grischa in Trun

The civil ceremony took place in the historic coat-of-arms hall of Cuort Ligia Grischa — a beautiful space filled with history. Afterwards, there was a small apéro in the courtyard garden before we returned to Siat.

Outdoor Ceremony on the Mountain Meadow in Siat

For me, the highlight of this wedding was the outdoor ceremony on an open mountain meadow above Siat. The floral arch under which the couple stood, the musical accompaniment by the bride’s brother, and the heartfelt contributions from parents and siblings — it was a mountain wedding in Graubünden just as you would imagine it.
