Ugnė & Krzysztof

Wedding at Maria am Gestade

Bound by music in the heart of Vienna. Violinists Ugnė and Krzysztof gathered an intimate circle of family for a deeply personal church wedding at Maria am Gestade, one of the city’s oldest Gothic churches.

From the sacred ceremony to a small orchestra performance and a stroll through the old town towards the iconic Hotel Imperial, their day was a grounded, music-filled harmony of pure connection.

About Maria am Gestade

Maria am Gestade is one of the oldest churches in Vienna, a Gothic church in the first district, built high above what was once the bank of a Danube arm. Its slender tower ends in a delicate openwork dome, and inside, tall stained-glass windows fill the nave with soft, coloured light. For a church wedding in the old town it is intimate and full of atmosphere, and the lanes around it lead straight to the heart of the city for portraits afterwards. My guide to getting married in Vienna.
