what questions you really should ask your wedding photographer
Ok, so you are looking for a photographer to document your wedding day. A quick search on google tells you: there are LOTS of us. Half an hour later you’ve found 4, 5, whose pictures speak to you. So you contact them about their rates and If they are free on your date. A couple of emails later you meet them in person or via Skype to find out if you finally want to book them. Make sure to ask the following questions: Those lovely pictures on your website – are those really yours? Yeah, that question sounds stupid. But today a lot of photographers offer workshops for other photographers to vamp up their portfolio. There are whole sets decorated by wedding planners, professional models are posed by the workshop leaders, and the attendees just have to push the button. Beautiful pictures, uploaded on their sites to attract future…
a sunny funny stylish sardinian wedding / S&F part II
My SEO tool tells me to use the phrase stylish sardinian wedding at the beginning of my posting so I will be found in google. I have to do that even if it is a little cheesy. Don’t you think? Ok, so maybe you’ve seen my other blogpost about Sandra & Flo’s sunny funny stylish wachau wedding. If not have a look. It was awesome. And the best part: It was also one part of their wedding journey. They alwas had in mind that they wanted a beach wedding. So, a couple of weeks after their ceremony in Austria, they grabbed their closest family, rent a small Villa in Sardinia with a private beach, and took their vows in front of the sea (and the Yacht of Sting BTW ;). So have a look to my pictures of their stylish sardinian wedding (see what I did here? SEO again, LOL!)…
a sunny funny stylish wachau wedding / S&F part I
If you love old cars and deep hugs then you’ll love this stylish wedding at Wachau I documented last summer. The couple met a couple of years ago, they both work as teachers and they are full of love to each other. Flo got ready at a friends appartement where he got some help from his best man, his brother and his dad. They had some pre-wedding beers and a lot of fun. Sandra got ready at her home, she had her sister and her niece at her side. Her dad than put her up in his little sports car. But wait for the old american car which we took for a ride later 😉 The wedding was at Standesamt Krems Stein which i like because of its old architecture and that big painting. Later we all drove to Dürnstein were we spent the rest of the day at Richard…
something like an engagement session in Vienna … AND Praque !!! / Bonnie&Jay
OK, so last summer I got a kind of interesting request of two awesome people were getting married soon and wanted to do an engagement session in Vienna … and Praque! So I packed my bags (and Julia) and got into the car to make some nice pics of nice people. Vienna Shooting in Vienna was easy because their is a lot to see there, we took some pictures in the city as well as in Schönbrunn (yes, I know where you can still find a working Paternoster 😉 – later we got back to Naschmarkt and even got to Café Sperl (which is a little famous because of that scene in that movie you know) – and yes, because I think it is fun I always try to sneak in a couple of shots during transportation. Praque Because it was a couple of years ago I was in Praque…
I know what I did last summer
Last year was a blast, I had the honour to document so much weddings of funny, awesome couples. Here are some pictures I took during the last season. Although there are a lot of similiarities between one wedding to another (you prepare, you marry, you eat, you party), each of my couples had their own twist of making their wedding unique. You know some funny, adventurous, unique couple that is looking for someone dokumenting their wedding day? Connect us! I like to travel, so Portugal, Sweden, France, Italy, Sardinia, Spain, Denmark, or Berlin would be nice. And, of course, all of Austria. Thanks, Konstantin.

Konstantin knows everything: How to have an awesome wedding.
OK, let’s be honest. If you are planning your wedding right now than maybe you are thinking of all the things you ‚have to have‘ or ‚everyone does that so we should too‘. You want your wedding to be PERFECT. For you AND your guests. But do you really? Maybe what you really want is an AWESOME WEDDING. Here are some thoughts from a photographer who has experienced somewhere around 60 weddings in his life by now: 1 It is your day. So make it your own! You are marrying the love of your life. And now you have to invite your crazy uncle Bob who alway gets drunk and loud and play silly wedding games your old friends from kindergarten are organizing? NO, YOU DON’T! It is your wedding so you can do WHATEVER YOU WANT! You don’t like wedding games? Tell your friends to respect that! You don’t want…
