My Polaroid „Affair“

Many bridal couples and guests who saw me working as a wedding photographer this year have seen an antique looking camera which I used from time to time. A thing without display and battery, which was the current technique when my father learned how to walk. What I am using is an old polaroid camera, I am using two different models, depending on the light situation.

Every time I pulled a photo directly out of the back of the camera the eyes of the couples became big. The „normal“ polaroid, which comes out with a whirring sound out of the front, is known by most people. I am using the „Packfilm“-format, which goes more into the direction of real photos ;-)

This year was a test run, the really positive feedback led to the decision to offer the polaroid-action as a guestbook-option. It an idea for a present for the bridal couple as well as for the wedding guests.

The price will depend on the number of guests and from the chosen guest book. The photographed guest couple will always receive two photos, one to take home and one which they can, together with their wishes for the bridal couple, put in the guestbook.

Free spirit

A freed spirit is beautiful, but who achieved that? In the hotel Freigeist („Free Spirit“) in Northeim you might find some help, it is an oasis in the middle of a big forrest. I shot there the amazing wedding of Mona and Martin, with many Best Men and Bridesmaids giving the wedding a soft international touch. Best men and Bridesmaids are not very common in Germany.

Shortly Before the Wedding

In two weeks they say YES to each other, so before that we took our time to do a small round in the harbor. So what can I say…these two have passed this test, from now on they are „wedding-proved“ :-)

Sylt, my love…

Nowadays I almost live on Sylt. I have already photographed many weddings there, and I am booked quite a lot this year as well. I can almost say, I know the Shuttle-guys with their names. I always enjoy fresh air and amazing light on the island. Sylt is a great place to get married, I have never experienced bad mood there, maybe because Sylt has such relaxing atmosphere.

I know étoile very well already, so many weddings that I have photographed start here. I can always recommend this place with a prefect team of hairdressers and make-up artists.
So this wedding had started in étoile as well, and then we moved to Watthof, where the groom was getting ready.

The ceremony had taken its place in the church of Keitum, and after that we made a Photo-shooting around the island. A great conclusion for everyone was excellent cuisine of Söl´ringhof. My special thanks to Nina K., who took the pictures from the church gallery.

As a Wedding Photographer in Hamburg

A wedding in the traditional big town hall in Hamburg. Two days, on first day after the wedding brunch at the Süllberg. Next day portraits and party in the Speicherstadt. Enjoy the photos!

Hamburg-Hafencity-Engagement-Shooting

Here is another photo shooting in Hamburg. Once again Speicherstadt and Hafencity and once again I manage to find some new beautiful places, which I had not photographed before. We also found out what the Easter bunny is doing the rest of the year and that you could have a look into some apartments of the Marco-Polo-Towers, when riding the ferris wheel. And these are real people living there…
