Authentic wedding photography

Your Wedding.
Authentically Captured.

No posed shots. No stiff group photos.
Just you — as you really are.

The Problem

Posed wedding photos don't feel like you

Most wedding photos look like a photoshoot. Perfectly staged, but without feeling. That's not your story.

My Approach

I do things
a bit differently

With me, nothing is staged, nothing is planned. Most things happen naturally, just as they unfold in the moment.

You enjoy your time together — I'm there as a quiet observer. The result: images that feel like your day.

Frequently asked questions

Everything couples want to know

What does a wedding reportage cost?+

Investment starts at 950€ for a civil ceremony. Full-day reportages begin at 2,550€. You receive all edited images in high resolution plus a wooden box with USB.

How early should I inquire?+

I deliberately take on only a limited number of reportages so I can dedicate time to each couple. Most couples contact me 9-14 months in advance. For spontaneous dates, it's still worth reaching out.

Do you also cover civil ceremonies and small weddings?+

Yes. I cover civil ceremony reportages as well as small, intimate celebrations. What matters most is that it feels right for you.

Do you travel to us?+

I travel throughout Germany and abroad. For weddings outside Leipzig, I work with transparent flat rates — no hidden costs.

What about bad weather?+

Rain is no problem. I always plan a backup and use indoor spaces with beautiful architecture. Often, that's when the most intimate images are created.

Can we meet you beforehand?+

Yes, absolutely. A personal meeting or video call before the wedding is important to me, so we can get to know each other and you feel comfortable.

How many photos will we receive?+

It depends on the scope. For a full-day reportage, you typically receive 400-600 edited images. Quality over quantity.

How does the booking process work?+

After your inquiry, we'll have a short conversation to clarify all questions, and I'll send you an offer. If it's a good fit, there's a contract and a deposit.

Is there a deposit required?+

Yes. After signing the contract, 50% is due as a deposit. The remaining amount is paid when you receive your photos.

Can we book a second photographer?+

Yes, for larger weddings a second shooter makes sense. This creates more perspectives and an even richer reportage.

Do you edit all the photos?+

Yes. You receive a curated, edited gallery in full resolution — cohesive, timeless, and without filter looks.

How quickly will we receive the gallery?+

Usually within 1-2 weeks. If you need it faster, just let me know beforehand and I'll plan accordingly.
