Wedding stories A day full of moments
Wedding reportage tells the story of your day in photographs. The nerves before the ceremony, the hugs afterwards and the last song on the dance floor belong alongside your couple portraits.
I’m Janet, and I photograph weddings in Karlsruhe, Munich and wherever you celebrate.
What is
wedding reportage?
For your reportage, I join you for the parts of your wedding day you want to remember. I photograph what happens: the big moments and the little gestures in between. This style is also called documentary wedding photography. I do not restage moments, so your photos stay authentic and show your day as it really was.
This includes guided couple portraits and group photographs. Together with the interactions, details and setting, they show what your day felt like.
What could your
wedding day look like?
From getting ready to the party: on the wedding day page, I take you through each part of the day. You’ll find photographs, planning tips and an insight into how I support you.
Your timeline can be different. A first look, a short break for portraits during the day or in the evening: together, we’ll find what suits you.

wedding story works
We talk beforehand
We take about an hour for your initial conversation: the schedule, the places, the people who matter to you and where the light is most beautiful. Afterwards you receive planning tips for your day.
On the day, I am there without getting in the way
I accompany you from getting ready to the dance floor, or only the parts you would like, even just the registry office. For the couple portraits you are usually away from your guests for only ten to thirty minutes, as at the weddings shown here.
Afterwards you receive your whole day
With full-day coverage that means around 1,500 photos, all with my regular editing, usually about a week after the wedding. Five favourites of your choice also get detailed retouching.
What short couple time looks like in practice is described on the blog in Couple portraits without disappearing from the celebration for long.
Questions about
wedding stories
What is a wedding story?
For a wedding story I stay with you through your day and capture it the way it really was: from getting ready and the ceremony to the dance floor. Your couple portraits and group photos belong to it just as much as the details, the people who matter to you and the moments in between. That is why, for me, wedding photography and a wedding story are the same thing. Together, the photographs tell the story of your day.
What does a full wedding story cost?
A full wedding day starts at €2,400, half-day coverage at €1,200. The exact price depends on how long I join you and which parts of your day you want photographed. On the Prices and services page, you can select the parts of your day and get an approximate guide price straight away. Your personal quotation confirms the final price.
How long will you photograph us?
Anything from a few hours to the whole day is possible. For a full day, I am there from getting ready into the party. If something runs late, I stay longer without making you ask or renegotiate hours.
How many photographs will we receive, and when?
You receive all the good photographs from the day, around 1,500 for a full wedding, each with my regular editing. Five images of your choice receive additional detailed retouching. You will usually receive your finished photographs about a week after the wedding. If you need them sooner, that is possible too.
Where do you photograph weddings?
My base is the Karlsruhe area, my second home base is Munich. I work regularly in both regions, as well as in the Black Forest, Freiburg, Stuttgart and Frankfurt and in Bavaria, Austria and Switzerland. For full-day coverage, travel within 100 kilometres of Karlsruhe and of Munich is included. If you are marrying at the Karlsruhe registry office, have a look at my article on the Markgräfliches Palais.
Will we see our whole story or only a selection?
This website shows a selection because every couple decides what may be shared publicly. You receive your own complete story.
