Best Photo Spots at the Walper
One of the perks of hosting your wedding at the Walper Hotel is the abundance of photo location options both within & around the venue. Here are some of my favourite spots:
The Grand Staircase: A perfect place to start when first entering the Walper! Although the staircase may not seem like much at first glance, the natural lighting and the look of your dress flowing down the steps will beg to differ.
The Courtyard: Take a step outside for a breath of fresh air and a perfect mix of greenery and architecture.
The Elevator: Yes, you read that right – I love a good hotel elevator photo and the ones at the Walper do not disappoint! The mirrors on the inside and the detailed molding on the outside offer a bunchof creative photo opportunities!
The Lokal cocktail lounge: For a touch of urban sophistication, this lounge offers a variety of photo spots from sipping a cocktail at the bar to cosying up in the corner on one of their velvety couches.
Outside the Hotel: Wander hand in hand along charming cobblestone streets against the backdrop of bustling shops and cafes. Also we can’t skip the iconic shot in front of the Walper Hotel sign!

A: The biggest perk of your wedding being hosted at the Walper Hotel – is that it’s at a hotel! Your guests can book rooms to stay right at the venue, and they are even dog friendly! Make sure to reach out and ask the hotel about group rates for your wedding day!
