What does a wedding photographer cost? Your day
Your memories
Your coverage

Half-day coverage starts at €1,200. What your day costs depends on the scope and your wishes. The preview shows an approximate price range for your selection. This includes our conversation beforehand, all the good photographs from the day with my editing and five images with additional detailed retouching. For a full day of coverage, travel within 100 kilometres of Karlsruhe or Munich is included. Further travel and overnight stays are added separately.

Every wedding is different, so I calculate each one individually. It makes a difference how many guests you have, how far apart your locations are and what matters to you. Editing counts too: whether I sort and edit 5,000 or 10,000 photographs at the end makes a real difference to the work afterwards. If your day has a longer break in which I am not photographing, I do not charge that time like the hours I spend right in the middle of things. I want a price that fits your day, not simply the maximum.

No. The preview and approximate hours help you plan. Distances between your locations, the number of guests and your wishes and ideas affect the actual work involved. Your price is therefore individual and recorded in your personal offer beforehand.

I simply stay longer. You do not have to ask, and we do not negotiate additional hours for it. The time estimates help with planning. On your wedding day, you can focus on your people and your celebration.

No. The examples are a starting point for your planning. We can rearrange, leave out or add sections. A first look is not a separate price item here; we discuss how it fits your coverage.

Yes. I especially enjoy personal celebrations with up to around 80 guests, and I am just as happy to photograph larger weddings. The preview deliberately sets no guest limit. Together we decide what scope fits your plans.

Tell me what you have in mind. The extras in the preview apply alongside wedding photography. The photo booth is also available on its own: I then look after it myself for up to six hours, for 1,000 euros including travel within 100 kilometres of Karlsruhe and Bruchsal.

After signing the contract, you pay a deposit to reserve your date. The rest is due shortly before the wedding. You do not have to pay the full amount at once, and you know the total from the beginning.

For weekend dates, you can cancel free of charge up to four months before your wedding. After that, I cannot refund the deposit because the date has been held for you and unavailable to other couples. For weekday dates, the deadline is one month.

I do everything I can to be well on your day. If something still happens, I have a plan: I know several photographers who could step in, and I would take care of finding someone myself. You would not need to start searching.

No. Editing is part of my style and part of what you book. It stays authentic: your skin looks like your skin and the sky looks the way it did that day. Raw files say little on their own and often look flat. Instead, you receive all the good photographs fully edited, not just a small selection.

I advise against doing both at once. Someone photographing and filming simultaneously has less time for either and will inevitably miss moments. If you want moving images, I plan that as a separate service rather than doing it on the side. By arrangement, a videographer can also join as a second person and film your day.

You tell me your date, place and wishes. I usually suggest a conversation, because in an hour I can explain much better what wedding photography involves and why it costs what it does. A number alone says little. If you prefer not to talk first, you receive an offer directly. I use your choices from the price preview as a starting point.
