08 Apr Aggstein Castle Wedding | Wachau, Austria | Johnna + Daniel

Aggstein Castle (Burgruine Aggstein) sits majestically atop a mountain overlooking the winding Danube River in Austria. I was thrilled when Johnna asked me to capture their wedding at this stunning location. The castle is nestled in the picturesque Wachau Valley, a renowned tourist destination in Lower Austria.
It was truly an international wedding: Johnna is from New Jersey, while Daniel hails from Austria. The guest list was a mix of both countries, adding to the unique charm of the location. After getting ready at Hotel Residenz Wachau in Aggsbach Dorf, the ceremony took place outdoors, surrounded by the ancient stone walls of the castle, which dates back to the 12th century. Following the ceremony, we had a brief group and portrait photography session before heading indoors to the beautiful and authentic reception area. The evening unfolded in great spirits, with the dance floor alive all night.

As I was focused on photographing the wedding, I didn’t have much time to fully explore the 4K film capabilities of my new camera. However, I did manage to capture some of the best moments on the dance floor, which you can view below.
