Memories that don’t have to try hard to be meaningful
I remember the sound of the first click of the shutter on film. It was silent. No repetition. No „Do that again.“ Just a feeling that lingered. That’s how I still photograph today, with this quiet attention to the real. To what happens between two people when no one’s looking. I come from analog photography and although my camera is now digital, my approach has never changed: patience, respect, intuition. I accompany weddings in Berlin, in the countryside, and abroad, but only when I can truly tell a story. Not staged moments, but what remains once the noise has passed: genuine closeness.
My pictures don’t tell you how beautiful your day was. They show how it felt.
I often work with light that dares to create shadows. Black and white when color would be too loud. Movement when static doesn’t do justice to the moment. I leave space, for intimacy, for chance, for the unplanned.
My love for photography began at the age of ten, in a darkroom full of light, shadows, and magic.
Today, I accompany weddings with a perspective influenced by analog photography, editorials, and the fashion world. I work intuitively, artistically, with movement, black and white, and targeted flash but never staged. What I seek is the tangible: closeness, honesty, rhythm. I’m not a service provider with a camera, but a silent observer completely in your world for a day.
A path that begins with you
„It never felt like being photographed, more like a silent companion who understood us.“
Before images are created, trust is created.
We begin with a conversation. Not a sales pitch, but a chance to get to know each other. I listen what moves you, what you’re like, what you don’t want. This results in a mood board that’s more than a style collage, it’s a visual map of your desires.
The poetry of the unplanned.
During the day itself, I’m there, but never loudly. I’m in the middle of the action, yet never intrusive. I observe, sense, react. I use light like a paintbrush, sometimes raw, sometimes soft. In the evening, I leave more quietly than I arrived. What remains are images that breathe.
From moment to form.
The follow-up is a careful process. The selection isn’t a mass delivery, but a curated series. And if you like, a handcrafted album that you don’t leaf through, but open like a chapter.
The first step is a simple question
Is your date still available?
Each year, I take on only a limited number of weddings. My couples invest in a bespoke experience that goes far beyond documentation, creating timeless works of art that preserve their story for generations.
