Hidden in the elegant heart of Vienna’s first district, Palais Ferstel is one of the most iconic backdrops for high-profile gala evenings, private receptions, stylish weddings, and corporate celebrations. As a gala photographer specialised in events at Palais Ferstel in Vienna, I work discreetly and professionally to capture the atmosphere, décor, candid moments, and timeless portraits that make your occasion unforgettable.
Creating visual memories at Vienna’s most prestigious gala venue
With its opulent architecture, marble floors and fairytale ceilings, Palais Ferstel offers a regal stage for both intimate and large-scale events. Over the years I have photographed institutional gala dinners, corporate award nights, luxurious weddings, birthday soirées, and anniversary celebrations — each unique, yet all sharing the same desire: elegant imagery that reflects the grandeur of the venue and the emotion of the evening.
Whether I am working alone or with my team (second photographer or videographer), my focus is always on storytelling, delivering a finely curated documentary reportage with a refined aesthetic. From the red-carpet arrivals in the historic arcade to heartfelt toasts in the Ferstel Palais ballroom, I discreetly follow the flow of your event without interrupting the experience for your guests.
Event photographer Palais Ferstel Vienna: how I work
My approach is discreet, tailored, and always designed around your event schedule. Here’s what to expect when working with me at Palais Ferstel:
Pre-event consultation — to understand your programme, priorities and protocol (institutional, private or corporate)
Discreet reportage & guided portraits — a mix of candid documentary coverage and elegant posed photography, depending on your needs
Professional lighting & equipment — suitable for low-light gala ambience
Quick image delivery — ideal if your press office or marketing team needs a fast edit for next-day release
Thanks to my experience photographing diplomatic receptions, corporate galas at Palais Ferstel, and large international events in Vienna, I’m comfortable navigating VIP guest lists, institutional protocol, and capturing the moments without intrusion.
Perfect for private & corporate celebrations
Palais Ferstel is a dream location not only for official galas and awards, but also for luxurious weddings, milestone birthdays, engagements or family anniversaries. With its versatility and unsurpassed Viennese charm, it allows me to produce a storytelling gallery full of emotion, sparkle, and architectural details — perfect for wall art, thank-you cards, and long-lasting family keepsakes.
From multi-day conventions with gala evenings to once-in-a-lifetime wedding celebrations, I provide bespoke photography and (upon request) videography packages, travelling regularly between Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest.
