Your photo shoot
I’m delighted that you like my pictures and that they have won you over. I love capturing the many big and small moments and milestones for you.
First of all, you should know that I have no expectations of you. Whether it’s your first or tenth photo shoot. The most important thing is that you have fun!
During my photo shoots, it is just as important to me to stay as far in the background as possible in order to create natural and beautiful moments for you. There will be few basic poses; I will direct you in other ways and capture your reactions or actions. As each person reacts differently or handles my instructions differently, new images are created each time and no two are the same.
Do you now really want to capture your personal moment of happiness?
Please contact me as early as possible so that we can find a suitable date together.
You can read below what you need to know and how the whole process works.

Wedding FAQ
It is best to contact me as early as possible via my contact form or by e-mail. Give me the most important information such as date, place, time and length of the escort and I will get back to you as soon as possible to discuss further details.
Yes, very much so! I love traveling and following you to different places. Please ask me early enough, because for a so-called destination wedding I have to plan everything very carefully. But maybe it turns out that I am nearby, then there are no travel costs.
I start my wedding reportages with the getting ready. Depending on where you are getting ready for your ceremony, I will visit you at home or in your hotel room. I stay discreetly in the background and capture the many big and small moments, such as when a glass of champagne is drunk with excitement, when the bride is getting her make-up and hair done and when the maid of honor helps you into your dream dress. I capture all these moments for eternity so that you can recall them at home in peace. Because let’s be honest, who isn’t totally nervous and excited when you swear eternal fidelity to the love of your life?
First Look” means “first glance/first look”. This trend from America is becoming more and more popular here in Germany. During the first look, the bride and groom consciously take time for themselves, usually before the actual wedding ceremony, to see each other for the first time, all dressed up. I am a silent observer and capture the moment for you. It is often a highly emotional moment that is peppered with intimate details. Some couples write each other a love letter that they can read back to back, some couples hold hands before turning to each other. But a first look doesn’t always have to be with your partner, it’s especially nice when dad sees the bride for the first time, his little girl in a wedding dress. Or the grandpa, the grandma, the best friend, the girls or or or or…
This varies, but roughly speaking you can expect around 100 images per hour. Sometimes it will be more, sometimes a little less. It depends on the type of escort and whether, for example, it is permitted to take pictures in the church or only the ring exchange may be photographed (varies from pastor to pastor).
Depending on the length of the accompaniment, it takes between 4 and 8 weeks until you hold your pictures in your hands.
Especially in the current situation, this question is not entirely unjustified. Should I fall ill and not be able to carry out my duties, I will endeavor to find an adequate replacement for your big day. I am very well connected in the wedding industry and have already been able to find a replacement in the past.
Shooting FAQ
Very relaxed and lots of fun! It is very important to me that you know that I have zero expectations of you. We’ll have a good time without a lot of posing and smiling into the camera. I have my tricks so that even the men say after the shoot that they had fun.
As early as possible! This is the only way to secure your preferred date. I do not offer Sunday sessions, so appointments on Saturdays are booked very quickly.
Of course, if something should come up or someone falls ill, the date can be canceled and postponed.
This is completely normal and happens more often. The little ones may not know me yet and have to warm up to me first. That’s why we try to make them forget that it’s a photo shoot. We tickle them, fool around a bit or let them pick flowers for mom.
The processing of the pictures takes about 1-2 weeks. If the photo shoot takes place during the wedding season, it can take up to 3 weeks to process the photos.
In rainy weather we can move to my studio in Erkelenz.
But a shoot in the rain can also be fun, especially for the little ones. So that would also be possible.
Payment must be made in full after the shoot. Please note that the pictures will only be sent or made available after full payment.
