Joshua and RΓ©ka reached out to me while they were planning a very simple and quiet morning wedding ceremony at one of Vienna's Standesamt (aka courthouses). They wanted to capture a few pictures of themselves before they went to the Standesamt and had their civil ceremony. I was more than happy to oblige, of course. (I love courthouse portrait sessions!) Joshua met RΓ©ka while on tour in Europe and ever since then it was love at first sight for the both of them. It was also clear from the start that they both had met their match. Joshua has a cheeky personality and RΓ©ka is impeccably calm and sweet. Both her sweetness and his spice are perfectly balanced out in their relationship.

I first stumbled across Sonalβs work on Instagram. If there has ever been anyoneβs work I want to materialize into a real life place so I can step into it and exist, itβs Sonalβs paintings. She is a modern day Claude Monet of sorts. Her work is dreamy, colorful, and floral. I could swear that you can smell the perfume of her flowers in her art.

When Ben was heading into work one day he looked up and saw βthe most beautiful womanβ across the way in the same u-bahn he was riding in. He saw her get off the same stop and head into the same place he worked at and after that, he made it his mission to get introduced to this woman. After many attempts he was able to work his way into her good graces and woo her into dating him. A few years later and they were wed in an intimate and simple ceremony in Vienna.

I know it's been forever since I've blogged and shared some of the amazing people and moments I've had the pleasure of photographing, and for that, please accept my sincerest apologies. Life has sabotaged all my valiant efforts of staying on top of my work and consequently, I am more than a little behind in sharing all the life and color I've captured. But nevertheless, I am determined to catch up and share all the special moments I've watched my clients experience and show them off here on this tiny space of the internet which I lay claim to.

First off, I just want to go on record saying that the sweet personality behind one of the top most highly rated blogs in Vienna, known as American in Vienna has the most beautiful name, Michelle. ;) I got the chance to meet Michelle when I first relocated to Vienna and she has been an endless resource of information, knowledge, and insights on all things Vienna. She is one of the calmest, most gentlest, souls you will ever meet. She also has the patience of a saint, which I must confess, came in handy during her session when I wanted to keep exploring just a little further for the perfect spot for her pictures. Her session began at 5:00 in the morning, and no, there was no typos just now. Five A.M. Bless Michelle's heart.
