Angela & David

Lately I have started to photograph pre- or after-wedding shoots early in the morning around 7.30 am. Especially in the centre of Vienna the streets are empty, the light is amazing and temperatures are moderate.

Angela and David are two very smart people with generous hearts and good style. Before moving to Singapore, where they are going to pursue their careers as professors, they have organised a dreamy wedding in Vienna with friends from all around the world.

Theresa & Kilian | Gidibauer Hof Hauzenberg

Den Freundeskreis aus Bayern fotografiere ich schon länger. Der Kilian z.B. war der Verantwortliche für das gelbe Moskvich bei der Hochzeit von Marina und Uli.

Theresa und Kilian hat sich für die kirchliche Trauung in Kloster Metten entschieden, wo die Theresa früher auch studierte. Die innerliche Verbundenheit der Braut mit diesem Ort konnte man während der emotionalen Messe gut ablesen.

Die Hochzeitsfeier fand dann in Gidibauer Hof statt, ein idyllisches Fleck, im Herzen der Natur. Es wurde viel gelacht, getanzt, gut gegessen und getrunken. Für die gute Laune sorgte wie bei jeder Hochzeit von diesem Freundeskreis Impala Ray. “Du bist auch wieder da?” Mußten wir mit dem Frontman Rainer lachen, als wir uns wieder sahen.

Es hat mich mit großer Freude erfüllt, eine Hochzeit ohne Mundschutz zu fotografieren. Leute beim tanzen und trinken zu sehen. Es hat uns allen schon so gefehlt. Wieder mal leben, statt zu überleben.

Liebe Theresa, Kilian ich wünsche euch auf eurem gemeinsamen Weg nur das beste.

Danke an die ganze Partie für ein tolles Fest :-)

Ines & Robert | Hochzeit Schloss Eckertsau

Mit Ines und Robert haben wir schon beim ersten Treffen gemeinsames Thema gefunden: Campervaning. Dieses sportliche Paar lässt nichts anbrennen und genießt jedes freie Wochenende in ihrem Camper.

Der Tatort ihrer Hochzeit fand in dem prunkvollen Schloss Eckartsau statt. Mir hat vor allem die Geschichte diesse Orts angetan, es war nämlich der letzte inländische Wohnort der Habsburger - Kaiser Karl I und seiner Frau Zita, bevor sie in die Schweiz emigrierten. Das Paar in dem Arbeitszimmer von Karl I zu fotografieren war alleine ein Erlebnis. Außer Hochzeitslocation kann ich Schloss Eckartsau auch als eine sehr interessante Ausflugsdestination empfehlen.

Es war ein wunderschönes Fest von 2 außergewöhnlichen Menschen. Es hat mich sehr gefreut dabei zu sein und wünsche dem Paar noch viele Abenteuer auf vier Rädern.

Das Hochzeitsteam hat diesmal eine starke Leistung geleistet und hat für eine tolle Feier gesorgt. Bravo an alle!!!

Andrea & Vincenzo | Castle Pechy Slovakia

COMING HOME …

This year I have spent more time living abroad than at home. 18 years ago at the age of 18, I left my home town Spisska Nova Ves in Slovakia . Result of globalisation, destiny of many young people from Eastern Europe trying their luck in the West. Who are we? Where do we belong? Am I still a Slovak? Of course I am based on my Passport, but where does my heart belong?

Lately I was lucky to accompany a wedding of my home town friend Adka. After many years once again shooting in Slovakia. It felt warm, despite the rain. It felt close, it felt right. Speaking in a dialect that you picked up from your parents and grandparents. No need to look for jokes or trying to fit. Because you just fit, effortlessly. It felt like undressing your culture coat and feeling your own skin again.

But enough of sentimental bull-sitting, Adka and Vincenzo’s wedding was a sweet cherry in this wedding season cake. Both relating to former Czechoslovakia, found their luck in the far Switzerland. For their wedding they found a hidden gem in the Village of Hermanovce, The castle Pechy. Formerly used as a hunting spot, today if offers great options for private weddings in the green.

The party was double L (long and legendary) and fueled by the swing and sways of the plentiful SWAYBAND. Dancing creations of the family members were nothing short of the Slovak Hockey Team and the passion of the young lovebirds climaxed in a messy cake fight.

It was not easy to leave the party,

and it was not easy to leave the country.

Thank you Adka and Vincenzo for having me, I wish you a happy ride on your Route 66.







Carla & Michael | Garten Donati

If height would be measured by the size of the heart, Carla and Michael would most probably end up like giants. Both talented musicians, the couple prepared a wonderful, intimate wedding in the woods of Vienna. People started gathering in the evening and the ceremony took place in a glass house beautifully decorated by Eventschwestern with candles and flowers. Guys from Hy kitchen Foodtruck provided for tasty food and their truck added to the easy going mojo. Actually it was the very first wedding in the new wedding destination Donati garden. I think the location suits very well smaller weddings, that wish to have privacy and are in love with nature.

Dear Carla and Michael, during the couple shoot I could cut your love and passion for each other with a knife. I wish that it will stay like this, many years to come. Thank you for your trust.

Annika & Frank | Salonplafond | Weingut Wailand

Annika’s and Frank’s wedding was nothing short of LEGENDARY, but let’s get some structure here. This are the things I especially liked on this wedding:

  1. Annika and Frank are those people, who you wish to spend your free time with. Open minded, warm, easy going and ready for every joke. Their good look didn’t hurt as well.

  2. Frank’s uncles and it is not only because of their red Porsche (thanks guys for fulfilling my childhood dream), but because they were so supportive.

  3. The view from Weingut Wailand overlooking Wien

  4. Kaffe-Mobil von Hornig. I saw this thing for the first time on a wedding and think it is an excellent add on, especially for outdoor weddings.

  5. Architecture, food, overall MOJO and Nike in Salonplafond.

  6. Annika’s wedding gown. I am not an expert in dresses, but when I saw it, it hit me like a brick from a roof. Great design by Rue de Seine. Happy drooling ladies :-)

  7. Finally the whole wedding troop. I felt like at home.

    But enough of chitchat, buckle up and enjoy the ride
