Katharina
x Matthias
Schloss Leopoldskron, Salzburg i Austria i 2025
“One of the most meaningful parts of the experience for me happened not during the ceremony, but afterwards — when Katharina wrote to me about her mother, and how the sunlight breaking through the clouds made her feel her presence. “
Katharina and Matthias’s Austrian wedding at Schloss Leopoldskron was the kind of day that stays with you long after you leave — intimate, honest, and shaped by the quiet elegance of the castle and their deep connection as a family. As a couple from Salzburg and Vienna, celebrating with their closest loved ones and their little daughter, Marie Luise, the entire day felt beautifully grounded and personal.
Katharina and Matthias’s Austrian wedding at Schloss Leopoldskron was the kind of day that stays with you long after you leave — intimate, honest, and shaped by the quiet elegance of the castle and their deep connection as a family. As a couple from Salzburg and Vienna, celebrating with their closest loved ones and their little daughter, Marie Luise, the entire day felt beautifully grounded and personal.
From the first moment, their openness made everything unfold naturally. One of the most meaningful parts of the experience for me happened not during the ceremony, but afterwards — when Katharina wrote to me about her mother, and how the sunlight breaking through the clouds made her feel her presence. Her message about that moment, and how true it felt to her heart, gave even more depth to the images we created.
I documented their day using a mix of digital and analog photography, letting the softness of film blend with the clarity of the modern look. These two worlds together reflected their aesthetic perfectly: warm, candid emotions with a touch of refined editorial elegance.
The celebration itself remained intentionally intimate, around sixty guests filling the historic rooms and lakeside grounds of Schloss Leopoldskron. It created a balance I always love capturing — a sense of history surrounding a very personal, modern love story. Laughter during dinner, quiet looks between them, and moments where Marie Luise curled into their arms added a human texture that made the day unmistakably theirs.
In the end, what stayed with me was their kindness and the way they welcomed me so spontaneously. Their words of gratitude, the trust they gave me, and the atmosphere they created made this wedding especially meaningful to photograph.
