TheOneToGo
Vienna is imperial scale, so the photographer who knows when Schonbrunn and the Belvedere gardens are open and bright is the one who gives you the regal frames.
Our pick
The symmetry of Schonbrunn's gardens and the view of the palace from the Gloriette are the city's grandest shots, while the Hofburg courtyards and the dome of Karlskirche add depth. A local photographer knows when the palace grounds calm down and how the morning light falls across the formal hedges. They sequence the visit so each setting peaks. Timing the visit across Vienna's stately backdrops is what separates a real session from a quick snap.
If our pick doesn't fit
Captures Vienna's illuminated landmarks after dark, so the mood and locations are completely different from a daytime portrait session.
