Our Vision
In an era where conformity often overshadows creativity, daring to be different isn't just an option – it's a necessity for those aiming to stand out.
The call to "forget the standard and try new, be brave and unconventional, redefine your portfolio" is more than just advice; it's a bold declaration of independence in the creative and professional world.
It's about breaking free from the chains of the ordinary, pushing boundaries, and embracing the unique facets of your personal and professional identity. Redefining your portfolio demands a fearless approach to innovation.
This means experimenting and integrating diverse skills and experiences. It's about creating a blend of work that not only showcases your abilities but also reflects your individuality. It's all about continuously learning, adapting, and evolving. Remember, the goal isn't to simply be different, but to be authentically you. In doing so, you don't just redefine your portfolio; you redefine the very essence of what it means to be a creator, an innovator, and a visionary in a world that thirsts for genuine originality.
Our Locations
Vienna
Vienna, Austria's imperial capital, is a city where the elegance of the past and the vibrancy of the present blend seamlessly, creating a perfect backdrop for wedding photography. This city, rich in culture and history, offers an array of stunning locations that can make any wedding photo shoot feel like a page out of a fairy tale.
One of the reasons wedding photography in Vienna stands out is the city's diverse architectural styles. Beyond its physical beauty, Vienna's ambiance plays a significant role in why wedding photography here is so captivating. The combination of Vienna's scenic diversity, rich cultural heritage, and the magical atmosphere that seems to hover over the city, ensures that wedding photos taken here are not just pictures, but a treasure trove of memories that embody the essence of romance and elegance
Reaktor
The REAKTOR, a gem of late classicist-historic architecture, boasts a rich tapestry of history that stretches back over a century to its original incarnation as the Grand Etablissement Gschwandner. In a thoughtful nod to its storied past, the building underwent a meticulous restoration in 2017. This renovation carefully married the historic elegance of the structure with cutting-edge technical infrastructure, integrating these modern elements in such a way that they could be reversed, preserving the integrity of the original architecture.
The architectural marvel that is the REAKTOR is composed of three halls, each a testament to the eras they were constructed in, reflecting the evolution of design through time.
