A wedding is made of many small moments that nobody can repeat. As a wedding photographer in Bielefeld, I cover your day in a reportage style: I am there without getting in the way, and capture how the day really felt. There are no stiff poses. When a couple portrait is on the cards, I guide you in a relaxed way.
My photos come in colour and in black and white. I photograph getting ready, details such as rings, shoes and buttonholes, the ceremony, the couple shoot and the party. Aerial photos of the venue are possible on request. My aim is to make the atmosphere tangible.
What I photograph at your wedding

- Outdoor couple shoots, for example at the Sparrenburg, Johannisberg or Obersee

What sets my wedding photos apart
Reportage, not posing
I capture real moments: laughter, emotion, dancing. The pictures show how the day was.
Colour and black and white
Depending on the scene, colour or black and white works better. You get both, matched to the picture.
Relaxed guidance
During the couple shoot I tell you what to do. You do not need any experience.
Personal and fair
You talk directly to your Bielefeld wedding photographer and receive a fixed-price quote without hidden extras.
My aim is not just to capture moments but to make the atmosphere tangible.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The key answers at a glance.
How much does a wedding photographer in Bielefeld cost?
The price depends on how long and how much I cover, for example the registry office only or the whole day. You receive an individual fixed-price quote, usually on the same working day, so you know the cost before you book.
How does wedding photography work?
After your enquiry and the fixed-price quote, we plan the schedule and places. On the wedding day I shoot in a reportage style and guide you during the couple shoot. You receive the images in a password-protected online gallery, where you make your selection.
How long do you cover a wedding?
As long as you wish. Some couples book only the registry office and a couple shoot, others the whole day from getting ready to the party. We agree the scope together in advance, so nothing important is missed.
Do you photograph just the registry office?
Yes. You can book me for the registry office ceremony alone, for example with the exchange of rings, congratulations and a short couple shoot afterwards. Tell me the date and registry office when you enquire and you receive a fixed-price quote.
Where do couple shoots in Bielefeld take place?
Popular spots are the Sparrenburg, the Johannisberg and the Obersee in Schildesche. Anywhere in Bielefeld works, though, such as a park, a forest or the old town. We choose the place to suit your style and the season.
Do you make wedding films?
This page is about wedding photography. As a photographer and film producer I also work with video. Whether a film is possible for your wedding is best clarified directly in your enquiry.
Do you photograph humanist ceremonies?
Yes. Whether in a garden, a barn or a venue, I cover the ceremony quietly in a reportage style, without interfering. We discuss schedule and place in advance, so I am in the right spot at the right time.
Do you work outside Bielefeld?
Yes, I work across East Westphalia-Lippe, for example in Paderborn, Gütersloh, Minden, Detmold and Herford. Weddings outside OWL are possible on separate request. You still receive a quote with a fixed price.
