Wedding Photography in Heidelberg — personal & authentic
What began as a professional career in Shanghai has become a passion project. Alongside my full-time job, I document weddings in Heidelberg, Mannheim, and the entire Rhine-Neckar region – out of love for photography, not out of necessity.
Whether an outdoor ceremony, civil wedding, or church service — I accompany your day with an eye for the real moments.
Real Emotions
No posed shots. I capture the real moments – the laughter, the tears, the glances.
Fujifilm Medium Format
Professional medium format camera with a large sensor. Up to 100 megapixels on request – perfect for large-format prints.
Fair Prices
No overpriced packages. €50/hour for high-end quality – because passion is my driving force.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ – Wedding Photographer Heidelberg
As a wedding photographer in Heidelberg, I charge €50 per hour. Unlike many colleagues, I work without expensive packages – you only pay for the actual time. A typical wedding reportage (8-10 hours shooting + 8-10 hours editing) thus costs €800-1,000. This is possible because I photograph out of passion, not as my main profession. All details about my wedding reportage and packages.
For a full-day wedding reportage, you will receive 300-500 professionally edited images in full resolution. Up to 100 megapixels on request for large-format prints. All images are provided in a private online gallery and can be downloaded without limits.
Since I practice wedding photography alongside my main profession, my availability is limited. I recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for popular dates during wedding season (May-September). Request your preferred date now.

For weddings beyond 30km, I charge a small travel fee.
