“Michael is superbly organized, full of great ideas, and works calmly and professionally.” Georg & Marc, Lusthaus Vienna
Write to meGeorg and Marc in the Prater at 20:47. The block further down shows their whole day.
I am with you from the morning until dinner and stay longer if you like. As long as something unfolds on its own, I stay in the background. Where an image gets stronger with direction, I give it clearly, for example for the couple portraits and the group photo, which we take right after the recessional. Whatever matters most to you, we write into the timeline beforehand, and my timeline checklist helps with that.
During the ceremony I move as little as possible, so neither you nor your guests get distracted. In the evening I use flash on purpose, for couple portraits in the dark and on the dance floor. While you get ready, I am with my assistant, either with the bride or with the groom. If a second photographer is booked, we split up and cover both at the same time.
Where I have already photographed in Vienna, from Palais Coburg to the registry office in the Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus), you will find on the page Wedding Photographer in Vienna.
Georg and Marc married in Vienna on June 17, 2022, with about 55 guests: getting ready at Hotel Lamée, a blessing with Toni Faber, pastor of St. Stephen's Cathedral, in the Maria Grün chapel in the Prater, and the celebration at the Lusthaus. Under each image is the time I took it.

The first 20 to 30 images arrive on your phone.
Then you get the full gallery with 600 to 650 images, each one edited and in 4K for download.
We design your wedding album, if you would like one. It is made by a manufactory in Italy.
“Michael had the entire wedding timeline perfectly timed and truly captured every moment!”
“His calm and reassuring presence made us and our guests feel completely comfortable.”
“The images are a dream, and you can see the details and the love behind every photo.”
I deliberately do not publish a price list, because it would not be right for most couples. My creative fee depends on how long I stay, which moments matter to you and what you would like on top. For a full-day reportage it includes the planning meeting four weeks before the wedding, 20 to 30 images the day after, your gallery of 600 to 650 images after 14 days and the retouching, with no travel fees anywhere in Austria. The album comes on top. If I stay with you until late in the evening, up to 11:30 p.m., it is my gift to you. In our initial call you get a first estimate, then my offer for exactly your day. If it does not fit your budget, just let me know, that is no problem at all. For civil ceremonies in Vienna, my creative fee starts at €990 for up to two hours.
Album and wall art are deliberately not part of the package. You decide on them after the gallery, once you know your images.
What a wedding photographer costs: market figures from 45 providersWithin 24 hours I write to you whether I am free on your date, and I send you a link to my calendar where you choose a time for the initial call.
We talk by phone for about 30 minutes about what matters to you on your day, and you get a first price estimate.
We meet for about 90 minutes in Vienna, and you page through three complete wedding albums. If you marry outside Vienna, we do this via Zoom. If you come from abroad, we skip the call and get to know each other in one longer Zoom conversation.
After that you receive a proposal for exactly your day. With the deposit, your date is confirmed.
Good to know
A reportage shows your wedding day in the order it happened. I am with you from the morning until dinner and stay longer if you like. Where an image needs direction, such as the couple portraits and the group photo, I give it.
Yes, where it helps the image. For the couple portraits and the group photo I show you how to stand and where to look. During the ceremony, at dinner and on the dance floor I do not intervene.
Usually from the morning until dinner, and longer if you like. For Georg and Marc at the Lusthaus I was there from 12:11 to 23:51, from the first image of the suits to the heart of sparklers.
Yes. Each additional hour costs €270. I approach you as soon as extra hours come up and get your approval.
Everything that happens on your day, in the order it happens. For Georg and Marc that ran from the suits in the hotel suite at 12:11 to the heart of sparklers in front of the Lusthaus at 23:51. Whatever matters most to you, such as portraits with your grandparents, we write into the timeline beforehand.
Yes, if you like. With my assistant I am with either the bride or the groom. If a second photographer is booked, we split up and cover both at the same time.
The morning after, you get the first 20 to 30 images on your phone. After 14 days the full gallery follows with 600 to 650 images, each one edited and in 4K for download.
Yes. Before the wedding we go through the day together with my timeline checklist. We take the group photo right after the recessional, while all your guests are still together.
