The Artist Behind the Lens
Hi, nice to meet you!
I’m Miriam, 27 years old and currently living in Leoben, Steiermark – I’m a visual storyteller, a quiet observer, and a wanderer guided by a deep belief in a soulful life. I do not see myself merely as a service provider with a camera, but as an artist whose purpose is to beautifully intertwine raw human emotion with high aesthetics.
My creative path began in Austria, where over the past eight years, I have had the absolute privilege of documenting around 50 weddings. Those days taught me that the truest, most monumental stories are never found in rigid, packed schedules. They are found in the slow, quiet spaces in between with the people we love the most.
Even after dozens of weddings, I am deeply connected to the stories I tell – it is not uncommon for me to quietly wipe away a tear behind my camera because an intimate vow has moved me so much I feel every story I capture, and that empathy is what allows me to translate your feelings into art.
My Artistic Vision: The Raw & Extraordinary
After years in the wedding industry, my soul made a definitive choice. I have dedicated my work exclusively to intimate celebrations, micro-weddings, and elopements with a maximum of 25 to 30 guests. I believe in creating a life and an art that breathes, stripping away the noise to leave room for intention.
While my heart appreciates the sun-baked charm of European villas, my true artistic fire awakens when confronted with the raw, untamed elements of nature. I am deeply drawn to rugged coastlines, wind-swept cliffs, and vast, silent expanses. There is an irreplaceable energy in landscapes that feel older than time itself—the dramatic mist of Ireland and Scotland, or the wild, volcanic textures of Iceland and the Faroe Islands (where I haven’t been yet – but it’s on my list)
My ultimate dream is to take brave, intentional couples into the most extraordinary corners of the earth. I vision documenting an intimate elopement amidst the shifting sands and timeless silence of the Moroccan desert, or capturing the monumental rock formations of Kazakhstan and the deep canyons of Arizona. Placing the delicate, honest connection of two human beings against the backdrop of these vast, otherworldly landscapes is where my heart beats fastest.
My Soulful Life: Behind the Scenes
When I am not traveling or capturing love stories, my life is anchored by a profound reverence for everyday beauty, peace, and nature. I believe that romanticizing our daily lives makes our souls come alive, and I bring that same sense of curated aesthetics into my private world.
Here is a glimpse into what makes my own soul happy:
Slow Mornings & Simple Pleasures: I deeply love slow, quiet mornings. A beautifully set breakfast table, the smell of good coffee brewing, and listening to a soft acoustic playlist as the morning light fills the room are my ultimate rituals. Good food and Mediterranean flavors are an expression of joy and connection for me. I lovingly tend to my own balcony tomatoes, serving them with fresh Burrata or Feta, rich olives, fine olive oil, and crusty bread.
Warm, Eclectic Living: Creating a beautiful, intentional home is a huge creative outlet for me. I express my love for aesthetics through a warm, eclectic interior style – thoughtfully blending textures, warm light, and rich details to create a soulful home that feels deeply comforting.
Rest & Reconnection: I cherish silence, slow living, and the luxury of sleeping in on free days. In a fast-paced world, I consciously protect my peace and recharge through calmness and time at home.
My Green Sanctuary: I have a deep love for plants , sharing my home with around 30 green companions – from one massive Monstera Deliciosa and other Monsteras, to delicate Philodendrons and striking Alocasias (which I love and hate at the same time). Caring for them and trying propagation have taught me a beautiful truth about life: growth takes time and needs patience.
I’ve learned that sometimes, you need to make a radical cut to allow something to root, reset, and grow back stronger, healthier, and more beautiful than before.
Beloved Heidi: Outside of my home, my heart belongs to my horse, Heidi, whom I love beyond words. Our connection is a powerful, grounding force in my life. Heidi has an uncanny, almost radical way of mirroring my inner state, gently forcing me to quiet the outside noise, look inward, and be completely honest with myself. Spending time at the stable with her is where I find absolute alignment and grounding.
Auntie-Life: My heart-felt family means everything to me. Since May 2026, I have stepped into the role of being an aunt to my sweet little nephew. I pour my whole heart into this, trying to be the best aunt I can possibly be for him. Watching him grow and experiencing the pure, innocent magic of a new life has brought a completely new dimension of love and warmth into my world. My sister daily sends new pics and videos from him in our family chat, and my heart melts every time.
The Wanderlust & The Horizon
Exploring the World, Rooted in Home
Austria is my home, and I carry a great love for it in my heart. It is a truly beautiful country—with its mountains, blue lakes, and rich heritages.. I am really proud of my roots and feel profoundly connected to the grounding energy of my home.
For me, traveling is not just a change of scenery – it is a necessity for my creativity and expanding my horizon. It is the fuel that keeps my artistic vision alive and forces me to look at the world with fresh, curious eyes. My camera is my constant companion, capturing the heartbeat of every place I visit.
Over the few last years, my path has led me through the coastal beauty of Portugal and Sicily, to the city of Kopenhagen, Denmark and other destinations. But the most transformative moments of my journey happened when I chose to pack my bags and head out entirely on my own.
My first two solo travels to Scotland and Ireland redefined who I am as a person. Navigating the rugged, wind-swept landscapes, standing alone on cliffs that feel like the edge of the world, and watching the mist roll over the highlands taught me a radical sense of independence and presence in the moment. There is a unique magic in the raw, unpredictable northern elements. Those journeys made me realize that I am deeply drawn to the extraordinary, untamed corners of this earth. They taught me not to fear the rain, the wind, or the unknown, but to embrace them as a vital part of the story.
