Do you photograph large weddings too?
Yes, gladly. I particularly enjoy personal celebrations with up to around 80 guests. That is a preference, not a limit. I will also photograph your wedding if you celebrate with many more people. Together we will discuss the time and coverage that fit your day.
Do you also photograph just the registry office?
Yes, that too. The registry office is its own part of my price preview, about an hour and a half. What is allowed there and what to look out for is in my article on the Karlsruhe registry office.
What does wedding photography cost?
Half-day coverage starts at €1,200 and a full wedding day at €2,400. How much yours will be depends on which moments you would like me to capture, how long I stay and where you celebrate. You will receive an individual offer covering the agreed scope, travel and accommodation if needed. On the prices and services page, you can put together your wishes.
How many photographs will we receive?
You receive all the good photographs from your day. A full day produces around 1,500 images, all regularly edited. Five images of your choice receive additional detailed retouching. The actual number depends on your day and the length of coverage.
Do you bring a drone?
Yes, my drone comes to every wedding at no extra cost. I use it most for large group photos and short videos from above, and otherwise whenever you would like it or the place lends itself to it. Drones are not allowed to fly everywhere. I check beforehand whether it can be used at your venue.
How far will you travel for a wedding?
I am based in Bruchsal near Karlsruhe, spend a lot of time in Munich and photograph weddings everywhere, especially in Bavaria, the Alps and the Black Forest. I travel worldwide for elopements. With a full day, travel within 100 kilometres of Karlsruhe or Munich is included; longer journeys and any overnight stay are included in your offer.
Do we need to know how to pose?
No, you do not need to practise. If posing feels uncomfortable, I will give you small prompts that let you focus on each other. A couple session can also be very quiet: walking together for a while, pausing and having time for yourselves.
Do you photograph queer weddings?
Yes, very gladly. I am a lesbian myself and love photographing queer couples. My enquiry form asks for your names, rather than assigning fixed roles. We can talk about what matters to you and how you would like to spend your day.
How early should we book you?
As soon as you feel sure. I photograph no more than two or three weddings a month. If your preferred date falls between May and September, it is worth asking early. Weekdays and dates outside the season usually offer more flexibility.
When will we receive our photographs?
You receive the finished gallery within a week of your wedding. You can then choose your five favourites at your own pace. About another week later, you will also have the versions with more detailed editing.
How will we receive the photographs?
Through a private online gallery protected by a password. The photographs are organised by the parts of your day, from getting ready to the party, so you can find your way around and revisit individual moments.
Can we get to know you before the wedding?
Absolutely, and I would like that too. We usually have a video call for about an hour, because it gives us both flexibility. We talk through your day and you get a sense of who you are inviting to your wedding. You should feel comfortable with everyone who is there.
What if it rains?
Then we make photographs in the rain, with an umbrella and a few flashes that light up the drops. I often find those images especially interesting because they look so different from everything else that day.
