Italian Vibe Wedding Weekend
Find Mediterranean Elegance in Brandenburg at Schloss Steinhöfel
As Wedding Photographer Berlin, we had the joy of documenting a truly special wedding weekend at Schloss Steinhöfel. This castle is a hidden gem, with its rare Italian-Mediterranean flair in the middle of Brandenburg. The golden sunlight during the day and the breathtaking glow in the evening, paired with lush gardens, created the perfect backdrop for timeless wedding photography and video.
Mediterranean Vibes in Brandenburg
Schloss Steinhöfel feels like a slice of Tuscany transported into the Brandenburg countryside. Its soft pastel façades, terracotta accents, and romantic garden architecture create a warm, Mediterranean atmosphere. Gentle light reflects on stone balustrades, wide green lawns, and quiet water features, evoking a sense of relaxed Italian elegance. For a wedding so close to Berlin, this rare setting feels almost like a destination celebration.
