Austria Wedding Photographer

Q: Are you based in Austria?

We are based in Budapest , Hungary, just a few hours from many Austrian wedding destinations. Because of this, Austria is one of the easiest and most natural destination locations for us to photograph. We regularly travel to Austria for weddings and elopements, especially around Vienna,Graz Salzburg and the Austrian Alps. Austria is actually where our wedding photography story started together, where we photographed our very first weddings as a team. So it has a very special place in our hearts and journey as photographers.

Austria Wedding Photographers | Vienna, Graz & Across Austria

The GUERINIS

Dreaming about a wedding surrounded by elegant architecture, mountain landscapes, vineyards and timeless European charm?

Austria has a beautiful way of combining historic cities with breathtaking nature, creating endless possibilities for unforgettable wedding celebrations. From grand venues and elegant streets in Vienna to vineyards, castles and the rolling landscapes around Graz and Styria, every area has its own atmosphere and personality.

We are Melinda and Graziano, an Italian-Hungarian husband and wife photography team capturing weddings in a natural and documentary way. We believe your wedding day should never feel like a photoshoot. Instead, we want you to experience every moment fully while we quietly document the emotions, the atmosphere and all the little moments that often become your favorite memories years later.

Austria is especially close to our hearts because it is where our story together began. Over the years we have photographed weddings across different countries, but Austria has always remained a place that feels personal and familiar to us.

Why choose Austria for your wedding?

Austria offers an incredible variety of wedding settings. Elegant city weddings, historic castles, vineyards, mountain views and intimate countryside venues can all be found within relatively short distances.

One of the things we love most about weddings in Austria is the balance between elegance and nature. Couples can celebrate in Vienna surrounded by timeless architecture and beautiful venues, while areas around Graz and Styria offer vineyards, rolling hills and a slower atmosphere only a short drive away.

Austria is also beautiful throughout every season. Summer garden weddings, colorful autumn vineyards, snowy winter celebrations and spring weddings each create a completely different feeling.

A documentary approach on your

wedding day

We have always believed that wedding photography is about people first.

The excitement before the ceremony, emotional hugs, grandparents quietly observing, laughter during speeches and

the beautiful chaos of the dance floor later in the evening. These are often the moments that become more meaningful with time.

Our approach is documentary with gentle guidance whenever needed. We want your photographs to feel natural, timeless and honest

while still feeling completely like you.

Favorite areas around Austria

for weddings

One of the things we love most about Austria is how different every region feels. Elegant cities, vineyards, mountains and lakes all create completely different atmospheres, making every wedding feel unique.

Some places especially close to our hearts include:

• Vienna for elegant architecture, timeless venues and beautiful city celebrations
• Graz, where our own story together began and where our photography journey started
• Styria and South Styria for vineyards, rolling hills and countryside charm
• Salzburg for historic beauty and mountain scenery
• Traunsee for breathtaking lake views and dramatic mountain backdrops
• Mondsee with its charming atmosphere and beautiful lakeside wedding locations
• Wolfgangsee and the Salzkammergut region for postcard-like scenery and unforgettable landscapes

We have always loved the Austrian lake regions because they combine elegant landscapes with a relaxed atmosphere. The lakes surrounded by mountains create a beautiful setting for intimate celebrations and destination weddings while still feeling authentic and personal.

From city weddings to celebrations surrounded by vineyards or lakes and mountains, Austria offers endless possibilities for unforgettable wedding days and beautiful photographs.

Graz will always be special to us

Some places become meaningful because of their beauty. Others because they become part of your own story.

For us, Graz will always be one of those places.

It is where we met, where we spent important years together and where our photography journey began as a couple. Long before photographing weddings across Italy and beyond, this city became part of our own story and helped shape who we are today.

Our first photography business name was inspired by this connection too. Many people knew us as Grazmel Photography, a name that combined both Graziano and Melinda while also carrying a little piece of Graz itself. Looking back, it feels like a perfect reflection of where everything started.

Maybe that is why photographing weddings in Graz always feels a little different. More personal.

More familiar. It feels like returning to a place that will always be part of us.

Location & Accessibility

Austria is surprisingly easy to reach for international weddings.

• Vienna International Airport with connections across Europe and worldwide
• Graz Airport with convenient international access
• Vienna to Graz around 2 hours by train or car
• Excellent train connections throughout Austria

This makes Austria a beautiful and practical destination for guests traveling from abroad.

Nancy & Zsolt

We looked at our budget and said we need to be careful because things can get really expensive. While we could save money on other things, for the photographers we put no limits for ourselves. We wanted someone who was capable of capturing the feelings and the emotions of that day and save it forever. When I look back at the pictures I still have tears in my eyes, they brilliantly captured in a natural way the joy of that day.

AWArdS

In the last years we collected a good amount of International Awards in some of the most world-renowned institutions such as Fearless Photographers, Mywed, ISPWP, This Is Reportage, WPJA, WPS, etc.,

We are not used to "admire ourselves in the mirror" but to watch all together the International Awards we achieved in the last few years makes us very proud, and with this we also want to thank all the amazing couples that chose us as their photographers, because they are giving us the freedom to surprise them with our experiments and ideas. It's not about the Awards, but as we said we are always looking to try something different and to push the boundaries of our photography, and we believe that the best way to do it is to measure ourselves with the best photographers in the field, moreover these established associations are an endless source of inspiration to us!

We are proud of them because they are the result of a lot of hard work
