Das ist der Tag, an dem wir uns zum ersten Mal zusammen setzen und uns kennenlernen. Für mich der “make or break” Tag. Finden wir zusammen? Verstehe ich eure Wünsche und Ansprüche? Vertraut ihr mir? Für wundervolle, emotionale Bilder muss die Chemie zwischen uns stimmen.

Wir nehmen uns gemeinsam Zeit – ob online oder offline – für ein persönliches Gespräch von etwa einer Stunde. In dieser besonderen Stunde erzählt ihr mir von euren Träumen und Plänen für euren Hochzeitstag, wir klären offene Fragen und ich teile wertvolle Tipps und Hinweise mit euch. Gemeinsam schnüren wir euer ganz individuelles Hochzeitspaket, perfekt abgestimmt auf eure Wünsche.

Nach ein paar Tagen Bedenkzeit teilt ihr mir mit, ob wir den Weg gemeinsam gehen. Ab diesem Moment begleite ich euch voller Engagement und Herzblut auf eurem Weg zu eurem unvergesslichen Tag – eurer ganz persönlichen Hochzeitsreise!

Dieses erste Gespräch ist für euch kostenlos und unverbindlich. Und: ich bin überhaupt nicht böse, wenn ihr sagt, wir passen nicht zusammen. 

…I am particularly looking forward to staying in touch with you between the time we get to know each other and your big day. This allows us to build a trusting relationship step by step, making your wedding even more personal.

I will gradually provide you with important, individual information about my work on the day of the wedding – so that everything runs smoothly and you don’t have to worry about anything.

During this time, we’ll talk to each other from time to time and create “moods” – because you’re sure to have special requests that I’m happy to accommodate. You can let yourself be inspired, think about which poses, styles or group pictures appeal to you the most and share your favorites with me. This will allow us to tailor your bridal shoot perfectly to your wishes and I will help you get the best out of your posing, look and feel. Together we will create memories that are as unique as your love!

On your wedding day, I like to be there early, soaking up the atmosphere, exploring the surroundings and capturing the initial mood. I’m there when you need me – always by your side to capture the special moments and support you.

If not, I’ll pull back and let the emotions speak for themselves while I capture them for you. In other words: I am fully there for you and will give my all to preserve your day in unique memories.

I prefer to photograph you in the last hour before the wedding ceremony. I take detail shots, e.g. of shoes, wedding dress and jewelry. Ideally, the two of you should not be too far apart.

Please note: I am photographing you in a very intimate moment and of course I will be reserved with the necessary sensitivity and sometimes look away.

Now comes the ceremony. The speech, the ring, the signature (registry office), the kiss. Then the reception outside, trellis, bridal bouquet. I’m there everywhere. That’s why a contact person is important, I need to know what is planned when and in what order. This is your wedding planner or often also the maid of honor.

Please remember to ask the registrar/pastor in your preliminary talk what the photographer may and may not do.

Important: take your time! I recommend planning a good hour. Think about where the bridal couple shoot should take place on the wedding day and plan travel times between the locations. What are the guests doing in the meantime? I am happy to provide you with tips for your individual planning.

When is the best time for the bridal couple shoot?
The simplest rule is: the further away we are from the midday sun, the better – no matter in which direction. Evening light is the most beautiful, it creates the most atmospheric bridal couple pictures.

If this is not possible, you can of course also schedule the shoot at lunchtime, e.g. before or after the wedding ceremony. And if you have a few minutes to spare later, we can still use the time for beautiful pictures with a sunset atmosphere.

Some bridal couples also want to do the couple shoot a few days before or after the wedding. This is of course also possible.

Ab hier ist alles offen. Ich mische mich unter die Gäste und fange die Stimmung ein. Mache Schnappschüsse. Hier benutze ich gerne eine kleinere Kamera, die weniger auffällig ist. Sind Spiele geplant? Ansprachen? Euer Hochzeitsplaner (oder Trauzeuge) wird es wissen und mir sagen.

Jetzt habt ihr eine Idee, was alles zu eurer persönlichen Hochzeitsreportage gehören könnte. Wir besprechen alles und ihr könnt euch darauf verlassen, dass ich immer das richtige Auge und Gefühl dafür habe, wohin ich die Kamera ausrichten muss.

How and when will you receive your wedding pictures?

Your wedding photos are a very special treasure that I edit with the utmost care to perfectly showcase your memories. After your big day, the fine-tuning begins for me, where I go through each picture individually and optimize it so that it does justice to your most beautiful moments.

Processing time
As a rule, processing takes around 4 to 6 weeks. This time ensures that each image gets the attention it deserves and that you receive a gallery that meets your expectations. If you would like a quicker turnaround, I will be happy to discuss the options with you.

Handover and options
As soon as the photos are ready, I will send you a personal link to a password-protected online gallery. Here you can download your pictures in full resolution and share them with family and friends. You also have the option of ordering prints, photo albums or wall art from a professional partner so that you can keep your most beautiful moments in your everyday life.

If you would like an exclusive presentation of your pictures or special printing options, I am always available to discuss all the details individually.
