A Glamorous Way To Say I Do In A Palace In Vienna

Two doctors, who met in London, tie-the-knot in a palace in Vienna. See, fairytale weddings do happen, and this one is a true beauty! Starting off at the Cathedral of St. Michael's Church, the ceremony was formal and beautifully picturesque. The newlyweds then lead their friends and family to their reception at Palais Pallavicini, and our jaws hit the floor when we saw this stunning space!

How They Met

Jenny and Daniel both attended Imperial College London at the same time to study Medicine and Mathematics, but never met! After real-life failed them, they had a chance to meet in December 2015 when Daniel sent Jenny a message via Happn after they crossed paths outside Daniel’s Christmas party with Citi. Sadly, Jenny didn’t respond due to a busy hospital rota. Nine months later, after Jenny made the amazing life choice of entering General Practice, she finally replied to Daniel’s original message! Daniel knew he had to pin down this elusive lady. Fast forward 15 months, just before New Year 2018, Daniel proposed at his parents’ home in Vienna and Jenny said yes!

Planning The Big Day

Shortly after New Year's 2018, they got in touch with Irene, owner of High Emotion Weddings who started planning their fairy tale wedding in Vienna, which was going to take place at 6 different venues, throughout 3 days, mid-August 2018. Since Jenny and Daniel were traveling to Vienna, I had the opportunity to get to know them in person and talk about the wedding day photography. Immediately, right after a couple of words, I knew, they are truly a beautiful couple inside and out and I couldn´t wait for their big day!

Saying "I do" and A Party Too

Once High Emotion Weddings takes care of planning and organization, the wedding is going to be a full success, what was, of course, the case! Jenny and Dan started the wedding day by getting ready with their bridesmaids and groomsmen at Hotel Imperial, a beautiful luxury hotel in a historical palace in the city center of Vienna. They continued with a super emotional ceremony at St. Michael's church (one of the oldest churches in Vienna dating back to 12th century), next to Empress Sissi’s former residence a cocktail reception on the terrace of an Italian restaurant, and a dinner and party in a breathtaking palace – Palais Pallavicini.

The day spent with Jenny and Daniel was full of joy and an unforgettable experience! Not just wonderful people, but their amazing family and friends created such a pleasant atmosphere, that we felt like a family member. This day will stay in my heart forever and we wish the couple a happy married life!
