My philosophy

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

Gently guided, never staged.

As your wedding photographer I stay in the background, read your dynamic and only step in where you need me. That creates room for what is alive between you, without staging, without tension. You move naturally, touch each other the way you always do. I capture what happens: quietly, precisely.

What remains are images in which you and your family will recognize yourselves for generations.

Who I work with

You know what you want.

  • You do not want staged poses. Which is exactly why you need someone who still guides you with clarity.
  • You want real moments in which you recognize yourselves.
  • You have no patience for filter trends that will look dated in five years.
  • You do not want to wait months for your images, galleries and albums.
  • You are looking for someone who calmly leads you through the day, without adding stress.

Your photographer

I am Michael.

To me, wedding photography means capturing your day in all its truth: calm, natural, and in colors that match reality. So that later, you can relive your wedding day exactly the way it felt.

With empathetic documentary work and restrained direction, I create room for what is between you. Images that feel like you, not like a photo appointment.

Classic or same-sex, twelve guests or two hundred, I accompany couples who know why this day matters to them.

Yours, Michael

Six facts

Six facts about me.

I have photographed weddings since 2014, more than 100 couples have trusted me with their day. And at every single one, I am still as focused and fired up as at my very first.

I grew up in the aviation industry. Maybe that explains my soft spot for remarkable places, from city palaces to airplane hangars.

I am a bon vivant. It starts with the wedding cake and does not stop at a good glass of wine.

I even have bartender training under my belt. So yes, I will appreciate your signature cocktail.

I recharge by running, snowboarding and riding my mountain bike across Vienna's flatlands. The mountains are on the schedule far too rarely.

Yes, I photograph all couples. Love is love.

“You were so unobtrusive throughout, and still captured stunning images of our big day. Right now our wedding album is the most admired piece among our friends.”

Common questions

FAQ

We are camera-shy, now what?

No worries, most of my couples feel unsure in front of the camera at first. With my calm manner and gentle direction, I help you focus entirely on each other, so natural images can emerge.

How quickly do we get our photos?

Within 24 hours you receive a sneak peek. The complete gallery follows within a guaranteed 14 days, 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 about 3 to 5 minutes. I am happy to show you an example in a personal meeting.

What if we celebrate longer than planned?

You can add extra hours at any time, each additional hour is €200. I will actively check in with you as soon as extra hours come up and get your approval first. No surprises when the party runs long.

How does payment work?

A deposit of 50 % secures your date. The balance is due 30 days before the wedding. Cancellations within the final 30 days are billed in full. Besides bank transfer, you can also pay by credit card and collect points.

What happens if it rains?

We will absolutely take photos on your wedding day. There is always a roof, a passage, a sheltered corner, and rain images are often among the strongest of the day.

On top of that, my fair-weather rule applies: should it truly pour all day, or if you simply wish for additional photos in the sun, we reshoot your couple portraits in beautiful weather. Free of charge, you just slip into your wedding attire once more.

Do you photograph all couples?

Yes. Love is love.
