Happiest Moments Photography, Janet

About me

Hey! I am Janet

I am a wedding photographer, I use she/her pronouns, I enjoy being around people and I almost always have a camera with me.

Let us make your day unforgettable, in the most literal sense.

Let us get to know each other

And sometimes in front of it.

How it all
began

I have been taking photos since I was twelve. I started with landscapes and animals, and only turned to people once I really knew my camera. I have been photographing weddings since 2021. Since then there have been more than 30.

During the week, I work in IT. That gives me the freedom to follow my passion at weekends. I deliberately photograph no more than two or three weddings a month so I can keep loving what I do and look forward to every single one.

Every wedding is special to me, and you can tell. I laugh a lot, get involved and am there when you need me. I also want to get to know you personally beforehand and leave enough time afterwards to edit your photographs.

That is why I particularly love personal weddings with people who want to make their day truly their own. I celebrate with you like a good acquaintance who is lucky to be part of your wedding.

This is
part of who I am

I am a lesbian myself and photograph couples who treat each other with openness and respect. If you are planning a queer wedding, you can read more on my page for queer couples about what matters to me when I photograph your day.

My home is Bruchsal near Karlsruhe, and my second home base is Munich. For your wedding I also travel to the Black Forest, Freiburg, Stuttgart or Frankfurt, and I love working in Bavaria, Austria and Switzerland. Consultation and coverage are available in German and English.

How I work

You can tell that I love being there. I laugh a lot, talk with your guests and am there when you need me. At weddings, I quickly become part of the group. Some guests even hug me goodbye, which makes me happy every time.

When we take a group photograph, I gather people and show them where to stand. That is one less thing for you to manage, and you can get back to celebrating. For the big picture with everyone, my drone goes up as well; I always have it with me. During the ceremony or a personal moment, I keep my camera discreet and give you space.

During couple portraits, I help if you do not know what to do or where to put your hands. I give you small prompts that let you focus on each other. In between, I leave you time and see what happens.

Out and about
with my camera

I take my camera when I travel too. I especially enjoy photographing landscapes and animals, and these days I plan trips around favourite subjects. I am particularly drawn north, to Iceland, Canada and Svalbard. I have also travelled with my camera through Chile, Bolivia and the Amazon.

Free time
and hobbies

I like learning and trying new things alongside travel. I build and make a lot: I developed my photo booth myself, wrote its software, and its props come from my 3D printer. Because I love experimenting, I have set up a fully equipped studio at home. It is mobile, so I can also pack it up and bring it along. When the technology takes a break, I pick up a brush or a pen.

Sport is part of my life too. I played rugby for ten years. Now, depending on the season, you will find me snowboarding or kitesurfing. I like being outside and really using up my energy.

Now I am curious
about you

Tell me your date, your place and the people you would like to celebrate with.
