Your wedding,as it really felt

What it feels like to work together

We tune intoyour day

Every wedding has its own energy. We don’t bring ours to your day, we tune into yours. Your guests don’t have to pose or perform. They can simply be who they are.

  • Guided, never over-directed.
  • Rooted in reality, not performance.
  • Calm when plans change.

Meet Dennis

I’m Dennis,your photographer

I believe the best photographs happen when you’re not thinking about the camera. When you’re surrounded by the people you love, completely present, and simply enjoying what you brought everyone together for.

I’ll step in when a little direction makes a difference and disappear into the celebration when it doesn’t. I photograph every wedding personally, together with one photographer from our team.

What your investment pays for

Experienceyou do not have to explain

A lower price usually means a photographer who is new to your country, your families and your traditions. What you invest in with us is the opposite: a team that already knows how to read your day.

  • We know the country. Every country has its own customs, timings and rules. We have worked across Europe and adapt to each one, so nothing needs to be explained to us on the day.
  • We know many cultures. Your guests may come from different countries and traditions. We have photographed these gatherings many times and know which moments matter.
  • We blend in. We tune into the mood of your day and move among your guests without standing out. They forget the camera and are simply themselves, and that is why the pictures feel real.
  • We become part of the day. By the end of the wedding we feel like part of your guests and your family, and couples and their families tell us so again and again.
  • We plan it with you. We go through the day together with you or your wedding planner, so we understand your vision before the wedding.
  • A network you can lean on. If someone is missing in your chain of vendors, we can bring in trusted professionals from our worldwide network.

Questions

Good to know

Who will photograph our wedding?

Dennis photographs every wedding personally, together with one photographer from our team. You know who is with you on the day.

Is travel within Europe included?

Yes. Travel throughout Europe is included in every collection.

Is up to 8 hours enough for a destination wedding day?

For most wedding days, yes. If your day needs more, for example from getting ready to the party, extra hours can be added to your collection.

How does payment work?

Your date is reserved with a simple agreement and a 50% deposit at signing. The remaining balance is due about one month before the wedding. All prices include tax.

Do you offer both photography and film?

Yes. Photography, film and content are created by one team under one creative direction, so everything feels consistent.

Can you cover a full wedding weekend?

Absolutely. Many of our couples celebrate over several days, from the welcome dinner to the farewell brunch, and we shape the coverage around your plans.

How far in advance should we book?

Because we take on only about 15 weddings a year, we recommend reaching out as soon as you have a date and venue in mind. Many couples book 12–18 months ahead.

Can we work with you in English?

Of course. All communication, calls and planning happen in English (or German, if you prefer).
