Engagement photos in Vienna

Engagement photos are often the first time a couple stands in front of a professional camera together, which makes them the perfect rehearsal for the wedding day. In Vienna they also become the images on your save-the-dates and wedding website, so it pays to choose places that say something about you — a market you shop at, a museum courtyard, the park where you walk on Sundays.

Tell us when your wedding is, what you need the photos for and whether you would like the same photographer for the wedding. We look for someone available for both, so you meet them early.

Location ideas in Vienna

01
Augarten
Baroque avenues of clipped trees in the 2nd district, with the massive flak towers as an unexpected backdrop. Calm and shady on summer afternoons.
02
MuseumsQuartier
Modern and baroque architecture side by side, with the colourful courtyard furniture. A relaxed, contemporary look right next to the city centre.
03
Naschmarkt and the Secession
Market stalls, spice colours and the golden dome of the Secession at one end. The market is closed on Sundays, so plan a weekday or Saturday morning.
04
Your coffee house
Marble tables, bentwood chairs and a Melange: a quintessentially Viennese engagement photo. Ask the café first and go at a quiet hour.

Good to know

Choose outfits that match the style of your save-the-dates — one smart and one casual look works well.
Shoot in the season that matches your invitations, or at least a few months before the cards go to print.
Booking the same photographer for the wedding means you already know how they work on the day.

Frequently asked questions

When should we book an engagement shoot before the wedding?

Ideally six to twelve months ahead if the photos are for save-the-dates; for a wedding album or guest book, any time before the wedding works.

Can we get the engagement photos quickly for printing?

Delivery times differ between photographers. Mention your print deadline in the request and we only suggest photographers who can meet it.
