Weddingphotographer Villa Raczynski in Bregenz, Austria, Europe
On a beautiful summer day last August, I met Cornelia & Eric in Bregenzerwald to create unique wedding photos in a relaxed atmosphere before the wedding ceremony started. The blooming meadows of the hill moor in Bregenzerwald made the perfect backdrop for the bridal couple portraits, and the clouds in the sky made an extraordinary mood. Most couples imagine their perfect wedding day with a bright blue sky and bright sunshine, but I am always happy to see a few clouds on the morning of a wedding day. The soft light is perfect for romantic couple photos, and the temperature is so much nicer if the sun is hidden on summer days like this.
The two have been looking forward to their big day for months. They were super excited that their wedding day was finally here!
You can see their love for each other and the pleasant anticipation in the pictures. And I love how they looked at each other with sparkling eyes and a smile on their faces and how tender they acted with each other.
During the wedding photo session, the clouds got denser and darker, and suddenly it started to storm and rain. Cornelia & Eric stayed relaxed, and luckily a few minutes later, the best man and the maid of honor came with the bridal car.
Together we drove to the beautiful Villa Raczynski in Bregenz, where the wedding ceremony took place.
The historic building made the perfect ambiance for their romantic wedding. And the stunning rooms hold so many possibilities for fairytale-like bridal portraits.
In the meantime, the rain had stopped, and as soon as the first guests arrived at the Villa, we left the place to make sure no one will see the bride before the wedding.
We used the time till the ceremony started to take a few more wedding photos in a small forest behind the property. It is always important to me as a wedding photographer to create versatile images of the bridal couple. That is why I try to find different locations and backgrounds near the wedding location. So we can get beautiful and unique bridal portraits in various settings in a short time. A few weeks before the wedding, I drove to the Villa Raczynski in Bregenz, and while I explored the property and surroundings, I found this special little forest. I knew that the small river and the lush green trees would make a perfect location for wedding photos.
While we have been in the forest, the wedding guests arrived at the Villa Raczynski and took a seat. Now they were all waiting for the ceremony to begin. Die Hochzeitsfeen decorated the beautiful rooms lovely, from the amazing wedding arch to the cute ring box, was so much love in every little detail.
When the ceremony started, everyone was excited to see the bride finally.
The moment when her father walked Cornelia down the aisle was beyond beautiful.
When all eyes are on the bride, I love to watch the guests and the groom’s reaction in moments like this.
Was Eric’s reaction not lovely? You could see how excited he was that this beautiful bride would soon be his wife.
After the ceremony, all the friends and family waited in front of the Villa Raczynski for the newlywed couple. They couldn’t wait to hug and congratulate them. We could not have planned the weather better for this amazing day. Even the sun came out during the champagne reception and shone as bright as the wedding guests’ mood.
For the wedding reception, we drove to Lochau, in the unique bathhouse of the Seehotel am Kaiserstrand was everything prepared for the dinner and the party.
All the guests drove their cars in convoy behind the bridal couple in their classic wedding car.
And a loud honk concert let anyone in the surroundings know or their wedding.
As the romantic, historic Villa Raczynski in Bregenz for their wedding ceremony, Cornelia and Eric choose the reception’s location carefully. When we arrived at the Seehotel am Kaiserstrand, the bathhouse was lighted by the evening sun, and everything was prepared for the party. The decorations had so many lovely details and made the unique room really special. They even had little personal guest favors for everyone on the tables. And the view over the blue water of the Lake of Constance made the vibes perfect.
A few minutes before sunset, I asked the bridal couple to come with me to a tiny beach at the Lake of Constance, close to the bathhouse. I love to use the dreamy light during sunset for a few last wedding photos. If it is possible, I always do a short photo session at that time of the day. Ten minutes are often enough to get some fantastic bridal portraits in the amazing sunset light.
As soon as the sun had set behind the horizon, the lights and candles got lit in the bathhouse. The guests gathered in a circle around the dance floor, With party lights in their hands. They cheered for Cornelia & Eric’s first dance. They had planned a special choreography for their dance. From unique twists to an aerial pose, they made this dance a unique and unforgettable one.
As soon as the next song started, the dance floor was open for everyone, and the party could begin.
The wedding party celebrated, danced, and toasted on the newlyweds till late in the night.
I love how much this couple enjoyed their big day and how carefully they had chosen their wedding locations. Cornelia and Eric’s wedding day is the best example of how various weddings in Vorarlberg, Austria, can be. From the wedding photos in the moor landscape of Bregenzerwald, the romantic wedding ceremony in the historic Villa Raczynski in Bregenz till the fantastic party in the bathhouse at the Lake of Constance. Every location was unique and beautiful, and they all lay within just 20 minutes from each other.
