In a world where fleeting moments often pass unnoticed, Nadine Pramhas has made it her mission to capture the beauty of love in all its forms. Her photography isn’t just about images—it’s about freezing time, preserving emotions, and telling stories that last a lifetime. With a background in interior and jewelry design, Nadine brings a unique blend of aesthetics, creativity, and fashion-forward sensibility to every frame. Whether she’s capturing the grandeur of a destination wedding in Italy or the intimate moments of a couple’s special day, Nadine’s work is a testament to her passion for timeless elegance and editorial artistry. Through her lens, weddings are transformed into captivating stories, where each detail is meticulously documented with an eye for the extraordinary.
Let’s dive into the journey of a photographer who sees the world through a lens that fuses art, emotion, and timeless beauty.
Born and raised amidst the serene beauty of the Austrian countryside, Nadine Pramhas’ journey into photography was anything but conventional. Before she ever held a camera, Nadine explored the worlds of interior design and jewelry design, both of which profoundly shaped her artistic vision.
“I studied interior design and jewelry design before I started out as a photographer. All these professions now make one big picture and help me to see the small details, the atmosphere on a wedding day, the wedding setup, the fashion in a different spotlight,” she explains.
These early influences, combined with a keen eye for detail, have become essential elements of Nadine's photography. Today, she calls Vienna her home base, but her passion for the arts continues to take her across Europe, capturing the beauty of weddings from a unique perspective.
Nadine's love for photography began seven years ago, and in that time, she has carved out a niche with her distinct style. Her aesthetic leans heavily on her editorial background with touches of artistic flair. For Nadine, the goal is always to capture meaningful moments—the grand gestures and the quiet, intimate exchanges that define the day.
“My artistic approach is deeply influenced by the worlds of cinematography, music, photography, and abstract art,” Nadine shares. Her ability to blend these influences results in photographs that evoke both emotion and elegance.
Nadine’s photography is a blend of modernity and timelessness. Her ability to combine fashion photography with wedding moments allows her to bring a unique editorial edge to every shot.
“I capture meaningful moments, the big and the small ones, with a touch of editorial, art, and an eye for aesthetics. With my love for fashion photography, I bring a unique and creative perspective to every shot, crafting images that are truly unforgettable,” she says.
This approach, coupled with her background in design, ensures that Nadine sees a wedding day from an entirely fresh perspective, allowing her to capture both the broader picture and the intimate details with precision.
Post-processing is an essential part of Nadine’s workflow, and she’s meticulous about maintaining a natural color palette in her final images. Her goal is to create photographs that feel as timeless in ten years as they do today.
“I am trying to use natural colors in my post-production so that the pictures are timeless and elegant,” Nadine says. Her images are not only filled with movement but also radiate a modern yet classic feel, ensuring that each photograph remains a timeless keepsake for her clients.
For Nadine, the greatest joy in photography is simple: capturing love in all its forms. Whether it’s a candid moment shared between the couple, a glance, or an emotional embrace, Nadine thrives on documenting the raw, unscripted moments that make a wedding day special.
“Capturing love in all its different forms,” is how she sums up her passion for photography, and this love is evident in every image she delivers.
One of Nadine’s guiding principles is open communication with her clients. She starts with an in-depth conversation, creating mood boards to ensure she understands the couple's vision. This collaborative process allows Nadine to deliver exactly what her clients are looking for, but often with a creative twist they hadn’t imagined.
“Having calls and creating mood boards together,” she says, is the key to her process. Nadine also emphasizes the importance of prioritizing certain moments or types of images that are meaningful to the couple. She believes that even if one partner is more focused on specific photos than the other, it’s worth having a conversation about their significance.
Every couple is unique, and Nadine believes that their photography experience should be too. She works closely with clients to craft custom packages that meet their specific needs. Whether it's a small, intimate wedding or a large, extravagant affair, Nadine is there to ensure every moment is captured in the way that best reflects the couple’s vision.
“Of course,” she says when asked if she customizes packages, further proving her commitment to client satisfaction.
When it comes to preparing for a photo shoot or event, Nadine offers practical yet insightful advice. She suggests couples take a moment to discuss their priorities ahead of time and encourages open communication with her throughout the planning process.
“I suggest taking a moment together to discuss your priorities. It’s possible that some photos hold more significance for one of you than the other. Even if you’re not particularly concerned about specific photos, it’s worth considering their importance to your partner,” Nadine advises. “Just as open communication is important between you, the same goes for communicating with me.”
Nadine’s love for travel pairs perfectly with her career, and she is passionate about capturing weddings in stunning locations. She’s photographed weddings across Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece, where the natural beauty of these landscapes adds another layer of magic to her photos.
Nadine loves destination weddings. With her editorial eye and love for aesthetics, these destinations provide the perfect backdrop for her creative vision.
As Nadine continues her journey in photography, one thing remains clear: her dedication to crafting timeless, meaningful images that capture the essence of each couple’s love story. With her artistic background and unique vision, Nadine Pramhas is a name to watch in the world of wedding photography.
