Frequently asked questions

General


“Are you a full-time photographer?”

YES! I have been able to start my own business with photography/videography and have specialized in wedding photography. I am very grateful for it and love it!

“How far in advance should we book you?”

The earlier, the better. Most couples start looking for a photographer around one year before their wedding. But that doesn't mean that nothing is possible at short notice. Even if I can't be there for you at short notice, I will be happy to recommend colleagues to accompany you on your day. But in general: it doesn't cost anything to ask!

“How long does the couple shoot take on the wedding day?”

I don't want to keep you away from your loved ones for long. That's why I keep the shoot between 30-60 minutes. During this time we can really create a lot of beautiful pictures, because you are emotionally charged and this results in the best pictures. It's best to look around for a suitable place near your location so that we can save ourselves a long journey.

“How does the down payment work?”

I always take a flat-rate deposit of €1000 for wedding reportages, regardless of the number of hours. For civil ceremonies it is approx. 35% of the total amount. With the deposit the date is reserved for you. Together with the preview gallery, which contains a few highlights of the day, you will receive the invoice with the remaining amount.

“By when do we have to have decided on the number of hours?”

You can change the number of hours flexibly on your wedding day. We will talk on the phone a week before your wedding and discuss your day. Usually it will then become clear how many hours I will be accompanying you.

“We've never been in front of the camera before!”

Most couples have never been in front of the camera and yet we manage to create beautiful images together.

I don't expect any unnatural poses from you! We'll go on a relaxed walk together, where we'll chat, laugh, have fun and also take some pictures. The entire experience should be fun and not stressful!

I'll give you a few little instructions here and there, but the rest will almost run itself.

“Can we get to know you before we book you?”

I would love to! After all, I'm around you all day - you have to know me and preferably like me :D. If you live near Hanover, we can meet for a coffee without obligation. Otherwise we can also chat via video call!

“How long can we extend the civil wedding ceremony?”

You can extend your civil wedding ceremony by up to 4 hours. You don't have to decide this in advance. Like any type of extension, you can also decide this on the day of the ceremony.


“where are you located?”

I’m located in Germany - but I travel all around the world.

Pictures


“How do you edit your pictures?”

I mainly work with Lightroom and took a lot of time to develop my own colors. It was important to me that the colors were natural and timeless. Despite the fact that I use my preset, I adjust the colors individually for each wedding, because the colors are also individual for each wedding!

“When will we receive the pictures?”

This of course depends on my capacity. In any case, you will receive your pictures no later than 6-8 weeks after the wedding. But I will send you a preview gallery in the following days after the wedding, so that the anticipation doesn't get any smaller :D

“do you retouch?”

Yes, up to a certain point. If you think you want to change your entire skin, then the answer is no. But I will remove unpleasant issues and also skin impurities.

“How many pictures do we get?”

At full-day-weddings I deliver between 600 and 1000 edited pictures.

“How exactly does the online gallery work?”

Super easy! You will receive a link from me where you can download ALL edited images in the highest quality. You can share this link or individual pictures with your loved ones. You can also download all the pictures. Free of charge, of course. You also have the option of ordering print products, such as albums or individual pictures, simply and easily via the gallery. You can also download the whole thing as a free app on your smartphone.
