Archduke Imre and Archduchess Kathleen | Washington DC Wedding Photography

I am honored to present some images from this recent wedding of the Habsbourg-Lorraine family.

His Imperial and Royal Highness Archduke Imre Emanuel Simeon Jean Carl Marcus d'Aviano of Austria, son of Archduke Carl Christian of Austria and Princess Marie-Astrid of Luxembourg,

and

Her Imperial and Royal Highness Archduchess Kathleen Elizabeth of Austria, daughter of Robert and Margaret Walker,

on September 8th at St. Mary Mother of God Catholic Church in Washington DC.  The wedding ceremony was followed by a traditional Latin Solemn High Nuptial Mass celebrated by Monsignor Charles Pope.

  8. Wedding ceremony followed by Solemn High Mass how does that work it sounds wonderful but I always thought the wedding HAD to take place during the mass?? Something special in the Latin Rite??

  9. Yes, in the Extraordinary Form, the wedding ceremony takes place first, and is then followed by the Mass.

  12. She is such a beautiful bride! I heard they met in the same church they were married in?

  13. I cannot help but think the marriage of these two precious souls is of prophetic significance, both for Europe and for America. They walk in the footsteps of Our Lord and Lady, and Blessed Karl and Zita of Austria. We have not seen the last of these two....
