Gently guided, never staged

Because you want to see your wedding the way it really felt.

I stay in the background, read your dynamic and only give you impulses where you need them. This creates space for what lives between you, entirely without staging, without tension. You move naturally, touch each other the way you always do. I capture what emerges: quietly, precisely.

What remains are images in which you recognise yourselves.

Hey, I'm Michael!

Capturing your day in all its authenticity.

Documentary wedding photography in Vienna means capturing your day calmly, naturally and in colors that match reality. So you can relive your wedding day later exactly as you felt it.

I'm Michael, a wedding photographer from Vienna, and for more than ten years I've photographed couples at weddings across Austria and Europe.

With unobtrusive coverage and empathetic guidance I create an atmosphere in which you feel at ease in front of the camera. For images that are natural and elegant, and feel like you and the emotions of the day.

Good to know

FAQ about wedding reportage in Vienna.

We're camera-shy. What now?

Don't worry, most of my couples feel unsure in front of the camera at first. With my calm manner and gentle guidance I help you focus entirely on each other, so natural images emerge.

How quickly do we get our photos?

Within 24 hours you receive a sneak peek. The complete gallery follows after 14 days, guaranteed, including the first draft of your wedding album.

Do you also offer video?

In addition to wedding photography you can book a wedding teaser of around 3 to 5 minutes. I'm happy to show you an example in a personal meeting.

What if we celebrate longer than planned?

You can book additional hours at any time, each additional hour costs 200 euros. I'll actively check with you as soon as overtime comes up and get your approval. No surprises after long celebrations.

How does payment work?

A deposit of 50 percent secures your date. The balance is due 30 days before the wedding. Cancellations within the last 30 days are charged in full. Besides bank transfer you can also pay by credit card and collect points. ;-)

What happens if it rains?

I always plan alternatives for bad weather and have experience with atmospheric indoor sessions. We discuss your wishes in advance so you can relax, whatever the weather.

Do you photograph all couples?

Yes, love is love.
