A Dreamy Fall Von Trapp Family Lodge Wedding in Stowe, Vermont

When Annabel and Ryan said “I do” during their Von Trapp Family Lodge wedding on a golden fall afternoon in Stowe, Vermont, the Green Mountains truly showed off. Autumn leaves glowed with color, the air felt crisp and clear, and every moment felt intentional and timeless. Together, it was the perfect balance of cozy and sophisticated for a fall wedding in Vermont.

As a Vermont wedding photographer, I’m always drawn to celebrations where the landscape plays a meaningful role in the story. This day did exactly that. Their Von Trapp Family Lodge wedding felt magical—an intimate Stowe, Vermont fall wedding framed by peak foliage and heartfelt moments.

Why Von Trapp Family Lodge Is a Dream Fall Wedding Venue

Von Trapp Family Lodge is more than just a venue. Instead, it offers a full destination wedding experience with sweeping mountain views, vibrant fall foliage, and both indoor and outdoor spaces that shine year-round. Set high atop Trapp Hill on over 2,500 acres, the setting feels especially cinematic in autumn. That’s why couples from all over choose it for a Vermont fall wedding.

Here, you and your guests can:

• Gather with mountain views as your backdrop
• Stay together on-site in lodge rooms and cozy chalets
• Choose from ceremony locations like the Concert Meadow or Wedding Meadow
• Celebrate in elegant spaces like the Mozart Room or Main Dining Room

All the while, you’re surrounded by Alpine charm and European-inspired architecture that feels uniquely Vermont.

A Morning Wrapped in Fall Energy

The day began with a calm, easy energy, something only a cool, sunlit fall morning can bring. As Annabel and Ryan got ready in separate spaces, soft autumn light poured through the windows. As a result, every detail felt warm and intentional, from rich seasonal bouquets to quiet glances shared with loved ones.

These slower moments, though subtle, always photograph beautifully, especially in Vermont’s fall light.

A Ceremony Surrounded by Autumn Color

Soon after, the outdoor ceremony unfolded in a wide-open meadow framed by glowing foliage and mountain views. With the sun sitting perfectly in the sky and a light breeze moving through the trees, the moment felt almost suspended in time.

Because of the setting, every image took on a painterly feel. The fall colors complemented the couple effortlessly. Whether couples choose the Concert Meadow, Wedding Meadow, or Croquet Lawn, ceremonies at Von Trapp Family Lodge are always unforgettable.

Golden Hour Portraits with Mountain Views

After the ceremony, we stepped away for golden hour portraits. This brief window of light, just before sunset, is every photographer’s dream. With mountains stretching into the distance and foliage lit in deep oranges and reds, the portraits felt natural, romantic, and timeless.

Not surprisingly, these relaxed and joyful moments are exactly why fall weddings in Stowe, Vermont are a favorite of mine.

Cozy, Elegant Reception in the Mozart Room

As evening set in, the celebration continued inside the Mozart Room. Warm candlelight, heartfelt speeches, and a packed dance floor filled the space with energy and emotion. Every detail, from fall-inspired florals to personal touches, felt thoughtful and true to the couple.

Because Von Trapp Family Lodge offers multiple reception spaces, couples can create an experience that feels both intimate and elevated, no matter the guest count.
