Good photography. Clear pricing.

The eight hours follow your schedule. Typically they include getting ready, couple portraits before or after the ceremony, the ceremony itself, congratulations and group photos, and the reception and celebration with dinner, speeches and, depending on the schedule, the first dance and party. We agree together on when I start and how far into the evening I stay. You’ll find an example schedule above under “How I cover your day”.

Both are possible: before the ceremony, if you’d like to see each other beforehand, or after the congratulations while your guests enjoy the reception. A short extra moment in the softer early-evening light is lovely too. Couple portraits on the wedding day are part of the booked time. A separate couples shoot on another day, such as an engagement shoot, is optional.

No. During the ceremony and celebrations you do not need to worry about the camera. For couple portraits I give you simple guidance and pay attention to light and background. You do not have to memorise poses — you can move, talk and laugh together.

Yes. You receive your photographs in high resolution, including for albums and wall art. A suitable print size depends on the subject, crop and viewing distance. For especially large prints, selected images can also be upscaled on request.

You normally receive your complete edited gallery within one week, and at the latest within two weeks. The private online gallery and downloads remain available for 12 months.

I charge €50 per working hour — for photography and the subsequent image selection and editing. Editing takes roughly as long as the coverage. As a guide: 6 hours of photography plus around 6 hours of editing cost approximately €600. You receive a cost estimate before booking; the actual hours worked are billed.

Then I can extend on the spot by arrangement. Each additional hour or part thereof costs €50, plus the corresponding editing time.

Yes. By default I bill the hours actually worked. If budget certainty matters to you, we’re happy to agree on an individual fixed price. No deposit is required; the invoice only comes with the finished photographs.

After your inquiry, I usually get back to you within 24 hours for a no-obligation conversation — whatever works best for you, by phone or video call. We'll go over the schedule for your day, the number of hours you need, your preferred locations, and any open questions about pricing and services. If everything fits, your date is firmly reserved once I confirm your booking; no deposit is required. Once your photographs are fully edited, I send the invoice together with the online gallery link. The gallery and downloads are available immediately, and the invoice is due within 14 days. There are no hidden costs and no complicated paperwork: I discuss everything important with you personally, so you feel well taken care of from our very first contact. Should you ever need to reschedule, just reach out to me early — together we'll usually find an easy solution.

The number depends on the length and flow of your wedding. On average, you receive 50–100 fully edited photos per hour of coverage. Sometimes it is more, sometimes less — this is a guide, not a guaranteed number. What matters most to me is quality over quantity. You won't get a thousand nearly-identical variations of the same moment, but a carefully curated selection of the strongest shots — each one color-corrected, balanced in light and contrast, and subtly retouched. That way, you won't spend hours sorting through the gallery — you can simply enjoy your memories. You'll receive your finished photos in high resolution through a private online gallery for download, from which you can also order prints and photo books directly. A small preview with a handful of selected images (your sneak peek) usually arrives within 3 days of the wedding, with the full gallery usually following within a week, and no later than 2 weeks.

We adapt your couple portraits to the weather and light. We can use a dry spell or move to a sheltered place. What is possible at your venue matters — we discuss it in the context of your schedule.

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. The price calculator gives you a rough estimate for your location.

All delivered images are professionally edited. Colour correction, lighting adjustments and subtle retouching are part of post-processing; these work hours are billed separately from photography at €50 per work hour. Editing takes roughly as long as coverage. We discuss and quote more extensive retouching in advance at the same hourly rate.

The most popular locations for wedding photos in Heidelberg are: the Heidelberg Castle with its wonderful panoramic view over the old town and the Neckar river, the romantic Old Bridge (Karl-Theodor-Brücke) with its iconic view of the city skyline, the Philosophers' Walk with one of the most beautiful views in southern Germany, the elegant Palais Prinz Carl with its baroque façade right on the Kornmarkt, the historic Old Town with its winding alleys and warm sandstone façades, and Handschuhsheim with the atmospheric Tiefburg. Each has its own distinct character — from classic and elegant to rustic and romantic. On request, I'm happy to photograph at several spots in a single day, for example a short couple's shoot right after the ceremony. Since I've known these places for years, I know exactly what time of day gives the best light at each one. I'm happy to advise you on the perfect location for your personal style even before the wedding.

As soon as your date is set is best. We can check my availability and discuss coverage that suits your day early on. A last-minute enquiry is worthwhile too. I usually reply personally within 24 hours.

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 this for detailed images, subtle transitions and clear separation between subject and background. You can see the results in my portfolio and wedding stories.

If you would like your photographs to live beyond the screen, you can also order a wedding album or wall art. We discuss formats, design and costs separately.

Yes. You can book shorter coverage too: the ceremony, congratulations and subsequent couple or group portraits. With 2–3 hours of photography and roughly as much editing time, the estimated total is €200–300.
