Wedding at Mirabell Palace & M32

CAPTURING AUTHENTIC MOMENTS IN THE HEART OF SALZBURG

Salzburg is a city of dreams, offering a wealth of breathtaking scenery at every turn. This beautiful wedding day began with preparations at Hotel Goldgasse, nestled in the heart of Salzburg’s Old Town. The hotel is a tribute to the charming narrow street that arches from Alten Markt to Residenzplatz.
For the wedding ceremony, we moved to the monumental Mirabell Palace. The palace and its gardens are a listed cultural heritage monument and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built around 1606, the gardens were first opened to the public in 1854 by Emperor Franz Joseph. To this day, they remain a masterpiece of garden architecture and a favorite spot for photographers. We took full advantage of this lush backdrop for the couple’s portraits.
The true jewel of the palace, the Marble Hall, hosted the ceremony itself. Following the vows, a fabulously scenic horse-carriage ride took us past Mozart Square, where we captured a few more intimate moments.
A short walk led us to the m32 restaurant, located within the Museum der Moderne on the Mönchsberg. At m32, guests can enjoy not only exquisite cuisine but also spectacular panoramic views of Salzburg’s magnificent Baroque skyline. It was the perfect spot to capture more natural, candid moments.
Special thanks to Ingrid Eibl from Panorama Tours for ensuring the entire day ran smoothly. Enjoy the beauty of Salzburg through this photo story.
