What would you like couples to know about you?
I believe that photographs have the power to connect us to our past and preserve our memories. Photographs can be a bridge to the generations before us and a way to remember those we have lost.
Where are you based?
Frankfurt, Germany – but I am available worldwide.
Do you travel for weddings?
100% yes! I love to travel for love. Especially in Italy, Spain and France, but in general I love traveling in Europe for your wedding day.
How would you describe your style?
Timeless, true-to-tone, documentary approach meets the nostalgic touch of film.
Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?
Both! And I also offer Super 8 Film as a video option.
Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?
Yes! My offers are always tailored to the couple and their wishes and expectations.
What is a favourite product or service that you offer and why?
100% working with film! I am so happy that film photography is becoming more and more popular again! 9 years ago it was film that brought me back to photography when I got my first analog camera. Since 2024 I also offer Super 8 film as a video option to 35mm film and I have completely fallen in love with the whole vibe of this medium.
Where would you love to travel to for work?
I would love to shoot a wedding in Rome someday. It has been my dream since I started doing destination weddings. The city has won my heart.
But I really feel blessed to be able to travel to any destination through my work. It is such a huge privilege that I am really grateful for.
What is your advice to couples getting married?
Don't stress yourself too much! Especially about things that are out of your control anyway.
One of my favorite memories from a wedding was when it unexpectedly started to pour during the ceremony and all the guests had to take shelter indoors. What could have completely ruined the mood turned into the best day party ever. And after the rain stopped, the sun came out and the ceremony continued in the most beautiful evening light. A wedding for the books and a friendly reminder to all couples that sometimes the things you can't control turn out to be the biggest blessings of your day.
