How does the booking process work with you?
It’s especially important to me that we have good chemistry, because I only photograph a limited number of weddings each year. That’s why I always want to get to know my couples first—through a phone or video call. During our conversation, you’ll share your wishes and ideas with me, and I’ll be able to put together a package that’s truly tailored to you. For me, this personal introduction is crucial, because only when we’re on the same page can those genuine, candid moments emerge—the ones that make your photos so special. Once you’ve chosen a package, we’ll draw up the contract, and before your wedding, we’ll meet in person one more time—usually at the venue. This allows us to further strengthen our connection so that you’ll feel completely relaxed and at ease on your big day. Throughout the entire planning process, I’ll be by your side, advising you and sharing my caring, professional wedding network to ensure your day runs smoothly and is handled with the utmost professionalism.
We're not photogenic at all and rarely take pictures—your photos are so great; we could never pull that off.
Don't worry—it's not about being "photogenic." My goal is for you to simply be immersed in your happiness on your wedding day, feeling the joy and love that bind you together. This natural, relaxed atmosphere automatically results in beautiful, authentic photos. Even men who are usually more reserved or camera-shy have a blast during my photo shoots—they often tell me afterward just how much fun they had. I’m always there to offer advice, give little tips, and gently guide you through the shoot without making it seem staged. This results in photos that show you exactly as you are—authentic, emotional, and full of personality. In the end, you’ll have wedding memories that bring back that special feeling time and time again—vibrant, heartfelt, and unique.
What happens if you're sick on your wedding day?
Over the past ten years, I have personally photographed every single one of my weddings—so far, I have never been unable to attend due to illness. However, in the unlikely event that this should ever happen, I have a small network of carefully selected colleagues who are just as professional, empathetic, and experienced as I am. This ensures that your special day will still be documented, and that the moments that matter most to you will be captured in all their beauty. It’s very important to me that you don’t have to worry: Your wedding is unique and precious, and my goal is for you to feel confident at all times that everything will be documented smoothly and with care—no matter what happens. So far, I’ve had the privilege of personally experiencing and capturing every celebration, and that’s exactly what sets my work apart: You don’t just get pictures; you get genuine, emotional companionship throughout your big day.
Why should we book you?
When you book me, you’ll have someone who truly experiences your day alongside you—like a friend who knows exactly when a moment is precious, when a laugh is genuine, and when a glance says it all. I capture the small, unassuming moments that will later tell your story, and I make sure your photos aren’t just memories—they bring your emotions to life. I work with passion, intuition, and a keen eye for detail, so that every shot reflects your personality. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease in front of the camera, to laugh naturally, and to simply be yourselves. In the end, you’ll receive not just photos, but a completely harmonious, emotional experience—along with a package so perfect, personal, and unbeatable that you won’t be able to help but say “Yes” with enthusiasm.
