The lakeโ€™s breathtaking turquoise colour and mountain backdrop is a photographerโ€™s dream come true. The tiny Church of the Good Shepherd stands right at the waterโ€™s edge, proving that small is definitely beautiful. Grab some confetti and congratulate any passing brides โ€“ couples travel from all over the world for wedding shots in front of the chapel!
