A celebration of love – LGBT wedding at Aiola im Schloss Sankt Veit

Published in “Style Me Pretty”

This was one of the most exciting events of the year. A chance to work with an extensive team of exceptional professionals and create one of the most beautiful wedding settings I have photographed. From the location – Aiola im Schloss Sankt Veit, an old castle near Graz, Austria – to the flowers, all the design details, and of course, the balloons. I loved every moment of this photo shoot, and I hope the photos speak for themselves.

The inspiration for this wedding was a celebration of LOVE in all its forms. We wanted to create an exquisite event and, at the same time, create a celebration that would fit our couple – Chris & Fred.

The florist and decorator did their best to feature the venue’s beautiful sides while trying to bring a new modern feeling into it. Chris & Fred were wearing elegant classic suits for the ceremony and the main photo shoot. The session’s details emphasized the classic look of the early 20th: old bottles of whiskey, cigar bar, bow ties, black cutlery, old wooden tables, and golden plates.

We chose a semi-moon-shaped floral arrangement and a couple of pillows to add color and a more comfortable vibe for the ceremony place. Chris is a professional drag queen. Therefore the wedding party was close friends, transformed into drag queens. And in the evening, when the sun went down, Chris himself transformed into a wonderful drag queen. The party moved into the courtyard, and the grand finale was golden confetti and dances in the fountain! We believe that there is no “standard” when it comes to weddings. Our big day should represent who we are and celebrate true love!
