Mona + Simon

“The photos are absolutely dreamy!! Every time we look at them again and again, we’re transported right back into the feeling — and at the same time, all the little details come flooding back — all thanks to you!

It’s the greatest gift to have these memories preserved with such beauty, forever.

You are an incredible artist. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! <3”

Amira + Christoph

“The photos are incredibly beautiful and artful! Each one is so unique, special, and filled with love and thoughtful details. We can hardly put it into words. We’re beyond grateful that you captured our day so wonderfully. All of our guests are raving about you too!”

There’s no script for a wedding day — and thank god for that. I don’t believe in posing people into moments that don’t belong to them.

My approach is intuitive, a little scrappy, and deeply observant. I move quietly, notice quickly, and photograph what’s actually happening — not just what’s expected.

Of course I’ll capture the details you obsessed over (those handmade place cards? chef’s kiss). But more than anything, I’m here for the good stuff: the weird stuff, the soft stuff, the unscripted magic between you and your people.

You live it. I’ll catch it — all of it.

SERVICES

  • I photograph connection in its most honest form — the quiet gestures, the glances, the light that falls just right. My approach is calm, intuitive, and focused on creating space for real moments to unfold. I blend in like a friend with a camera, moving gently through the day so you can be fully present with each other.

    Based in Freiburg and often found chasing seascapes in Italy, the Greek islands, the South of France, or hiking over the border in Switzerland, I photograph intimate weddings and elopements with a calm presence and a design-trained eye. My style is honest and intuitive — documentary at heart, with a sense for detail and emotion.

    You won’t find poses or formulas here. Just connection, movement, and moments you’ll want to return to — again and again.

  • I work with creative brands to tell stories through light, texture, and atmosphere. From artisan labels to boutique hotels, I create visual worlds that reflect your values — with the same soulful approach I bring to weddings.

  • I love “other”! Whether it's Art Direction, Content Creation, or something totally unique snd unheard of, let’s explore your ideas. Pricing is tailored to your specific project, so we can create something that perfectly fits your vision.

let me romanticise your life and honour your story
