GOT QUESTIONS
What is your style?
Natural and emotional. Weddings with special concepts, at special locations, with attention to detail and in small groups are exactly what I like.
We want to evoke the emotions you had on your wedding day again and again when you look at your photos/film later. They should show you and your personality. Simply authentic.
How long have you been taking photos?
I got my first SLR camera when I was 16. However, I was already playing with my parents’ video camera or camera as a child.
How big is your team?
As a rule, there are always two of us on the road. At least three of us when booking photo & video.
How many weddings do you attend per year?
I only attend a limited number of weddings each year. I do this so that I can offer my couples the best service and wonderful photos and videos. My focus is on quality, not quantity. I don’t do weddings for the money, but for you and because of my passion.
Where are you from and do you also accompany international weddings?
From Regensburg in Bavaria! Here in Bavaria and in neighboring Austria there are many great opportunities to take unique photos. However, I like to be on the road and travel worldwide to accompany you and capture the great moments of your wedding.
How many pictures are included in the package?
You get at least 500 pictures. The longer we are booked, the more pictures you will get. I won’t give you a specific number, but I can promise you that you’ll get all the important moments I capture. It’s not always about the number of pictures, but about the special moments that I will capture for you. You will get more than enough photos to remember them for the rest of your life.
Can we get the RAW files?
For photos no, because I think an unedited photo is only half done. I promise you that you’ll get all the moments and I won’t hold any back. However, if you miss one, please let me know and I’ll take another look and send it to you if necessary.
Do you retouch our photos in Photoshop?
Everyone is beautiful in their own way! That’s why it’s important to me to show you as you are. The only exception are temporary skin changes that you don’t normally have (bruises, abrasions, acne, etc. unless you want it to remain visible). If you prefer a certain side of you, please let me know before the shoot and I will certainly take that into consideration.

When will we receive the pictures?
On average it is 4-8 weeks for photos. Films on average 8-12 weeks. Of course, it always depends on whether you’re the first wedding of the year, how much I’m traveling, etc. Of course I try to process everything as quickly as possible, but quality is my priority.
How does the payment work?
The deposit fixes the booking. You pay the remaining amount up to 2 weeks before the wedding or at the beginning on the day of the wedding.
What if we have to cancel/postpone our wedding?
If the date has to be canceled or postponed and I already have a wedding in my calendar for the new date, the deposit cannot be refunded. If I still have time, I will of course still be happy to accompany you.
What should we wear to the shoot?
Especially for this I have a guide where I give you tips on what you can pack for your shoot. You will receive this by email when you book.
What if you can’t come to our wedding?
Nobody wants it to come to that. However, should it happen (natural disasters, illness, death, etc.) I will certainly find a replacement photographer who suits you. In this case you will of course get your money back.
Will you help us plan the wedding?
Of course! I have attended so many weddings (and got married myself), so I know the wedding business very well. Let me know how I can help you, if you need any recommendations or if there is anything else I can do to make your planning easier.
Do you photograph families?
Only for couples that I have already photographed. Otherwise, however, I can recommend very dear colleagues to you.
What do we do in bad weather?
You don’t have to worry, because every weather is unique and beautiful in your photos! If there is no possibility at all, we will certainly find a way for you to get your photos.
Who pays the travel costs?
To make it as easy as possible for you, I have fixed packages for certain destinations. If the country where your wedding is taking place is not included, we can discuss this in detail. I can also stay in your house, with your family or in an AirBnB near the location. This saves us both time and money. It would also be great if you could pick me up from the airport, so you save on car rental.
I always book flights and car myself. The costs will be calculated as soon as I have booked everything. You can find out the approximate costs by searching for flights to the region yourself.
