Tell us about your business!
My work is deeply rooted in human connection. It’s the base for everything I do and the most important thing when it comes to capturing your wedding day.
Where are you based?
I’m based in Frankfurt, Germany, but keen to travel all over Europe.
How would you describe your style?
Intentional photography with a warm, nostalgic feeling, rooted in human connection.
What inspires you?
I’m deeply inspired by craftsmanship of all kind. There is beauty in the human touch.
How would you describe your working style?
Mostly documentary approach for weddings, but knowing when to guide you through parts of the day. If I had to describe one of my strengths, I would definitely say that I’m really attentive and can spot a moment forming before it’s about to happen.
Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?
Shooting film has become a very big part of my work. While I do most of my weddings with a mix of digital and film, I always love the challenge of film only wedding days and enjoy experimenting with all types of media (e.g. 16mm, Super8).
Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?
Yes, always.
Where would you love to travel to for work?
Rome is my dream city! But I am grateful for every opportunity to travel, it’s a huge privilege!
What is your advice to couples getting married?
Don’t rush your timeline, make space for real connection between your spouse and your loved ones, be present on the day. Photographs should not be the first priority (the best photographs are unplanned anyway!)
