Last September Dajana and Chris celebrated their lakeside wedding at Wörthersee in Carinthia. It was a feast of joy and my pleasure to capture the beauty of their countless special moments on my camera. I was a home match for me as a Vienna wedding photographer and honestly – I was very excited about it. I´m originally from Carinthia – the southest part of Austria – but until today I unfortunately only got one opportunity to shoot a wedding among my favorite state. The state where I´m rooted, where I learned to walk and spoke my first words, where I spent my days as a young woman and got my first analogue camera for Christmas – you can say this is where my love for photography was born.

As unique as my love story of photography is, as unique was Chris and Dajana´s love story. They met and fell in love during middle school and stayed strong through good and even some bad times.
They are the perfect evidence that love is worth fighting against its expiration date and taking a path apart from mainstream is always the right way. And they proofed impressively that it is no matter of a big budget to throw a beautiful and consistent wedding party at all. Let´s be honest – this wonderful day is not about the expensive dress or the valuable Cartier wedding rings. It is about celebrating love from the bottom of your heart and having an unforgettable day with families and friends. And that´s what Dajana and Chris did – they lived, laughed and loved.

I´m very honored now to show you some of this special wedding´s highlights at the magical lake Wörth. Come and celebrate with us!
Love,
Melanie
