Wedding Photographer VIENNA
ELEVATED WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Where editorial ELEGANCE meets authentic emotion.
If you dream of a wedding surrounded by imperial elegance, lush gardens, and baroque architecture, Vienna offers the ideal canvas for a celebration that is as refined as it is unforgettable. As a wedding photographer in Vienna, I bring a unique blend of editorial sophistication and heartfelt storytelling to every celebration I document. Inspired by my background in beauty and fashion photography, I create imagery that feels both emotionally intimate and visually elevated.
Let your Vienna wedding be a true expression of elevated wedding photography—crafted with sophistication, sensitivity, and soul
“We honestly had tears in our eyes – the photos are unbelievably beautiful. You are by far the best photographer! Words can't express how happy and grateful we are.”
Your Wedding in VIENNA.
Whether you're exchanging vows beneath the crystal chandeliers of a Viennese palace or celebrating in a chic modern venue overlooking the Danube River, Vienna offers endless opportunities to elevate your wedding into a stylish, unforgettable event.
From emotional first looks to fashion-forward portraits in the gardens of Schönbrunn Palace, my approach is centered on capturing the real and the refined. I focus on those unscripted glances, elegant gestures, and authentic emotions—then frame them with a keen eye for composition, light, and design.
Let your Vienna wedding be a timeless editorial love story—documented with sophistication, sensitivity, and soul.
About me.
My name is Michelle, I live in Austria, near Vienna. I'm a mom of a three-year-old and my heart is all about family and creative expression. If you asked my family and friends, they'd tell you I'm an introverted extrovert. I naturally lean towards a reserved side, not seeking the spotlight, but something magical happens when I hold a camera in my hands. I can flip a switch, lead the way and dive into a world of creativity. These dualities shape my photography style - I love capturing the understated, candid, real moments, but I also love the loud, exciting, atypical editorial style photos.
