A wedding day is more than a collection of beautiful photographs.
While you are getting married, so much happens at once: someone speaks at the front, while someone at the back wipes away a tear. A glance between you, a quiet embrace, your family on the dance floor. I look beyond the main events to what happens in between.
Photography and film have shaped my eye for over 20 years. At your wedding, I combine that experience with a documentary approach: observing, recognising the light and capturing the right moment. For couple and group portraits, I offer guidance without asking you to become someone else.
Real Emotions
I capture the encounters and little scenes that make up your day. For couple and group portraits, I offer calm guidance.
Medium format. More space for my visual style.
I photograph with the Fujifilm GFX medium format system. Its sensor has around 67% more surface area than conventional full frame. Together with my lenses, a considered use of light and careful editing, it is the foundation of my visual style: fine detail, gentle transitions and portraits with depth — even in large prints.
Clear pricing. Personal coverage.
You choose how long I photograph your day. Photography and subsequent editing are each billed at €50 per working hour. As a guide: 6 hours of coverage plus around 6 hours of editing cost about €600. Your edited images and private online gallery are included.

FAQ — Wedding Photographer Heidelberg
Frequently asked questions
I charge €50 per working hour — for photography and for the subsequent selection and editing of your images. Editing takes roughly as long as coverage. As a guide: 6 hours of photography plus around 6 hours of editing cost about €600. Before booking, you receive a cost estimate; the final bill is based on the hours actually worked.
On average, you receive 50–100 fully edited images per hour of coverage. The total can be higher or lower depending on the length and flow of your wedding; this is a guideline, not a guaranteed number. You normally receive your complete edited gallery within one week, and no later than two weeks. Your private online gallery and downloads remain available for 12 months.
Ideally, as soon as your date is set. We can then check my availability and discuss the coverage that suits your day. Short-notice enquiries are welcome too. I usually reply personally within 24 hours.
Yes! I photograph throughout the Rhine-Neckar region and offer destination wedding coverage on request. Travel within 30 km one-way of Heidelberg is included. Beyond 30 km, the entire round trip is charged at €0.30 per kilometre, not just the distance above the allowance. Any accommodation is discussed and agreed beforehand.
I deliberately chose the Fujifilm GFX system. Its sensor has around 67% more surface area than conventional full frame. Together with my lenses and approach, I use it for detailed images, gentle transitions and clear separation between subject and background. You can see the results in my portfolio and wedding stories.
My couples especially appreciate the relaxed, natural atmosphere during the shoot. On Google I consistently have 5.0 stars.
