My first weddings I have photographed just for fun.

0:00:11.456,0:00:15.340
I have been already photographing professionally before,

0:00:15.340,0:00:18.833
but I have noticed that as a photographer,

0:00:18.833,0:00:23.166
especially photographing wedding I can be most creative.

0:00:23.166,0:00:26.162
As a wedding photographer I am photographing people,

0:00:26.162,0:00:30.920
architecture, objects and, mostly, documentary.

0:00:33.090,0:00:37.308
For me, wedding photography is definitely a creative discipline.

0:00:37.308,0:00:41.032
Most important is the photographer’s individual vision,

0:00:41.032,0:00:46.581
the ability to notice details, overseen by the others.

0:00:46.581,0:00:50.236
On the other side, for me it is not art for art's sake.

0:00:50.236,0:00:53.825
For me it is primarily about the couple

0:00:53.825,0:00:57.929
and in my pictures I want to show these concrete people

0:00:57.929,0:01:00.583
not only from their chocolate side,

0:01:00.583,0:01:05.372
but also as natural and authentic, as possible.

0:01:09.096,0:01:14.534
Modern wedding photography has to my mind (besides the common term)

0:01:14.534,0:01:19.014
little to do with the wedding photography from the time of our parents.

0:01:19.014,0:01:23.610
It is not only about all these obligatory motives

0:01:23.610,0:01:30.306
like the picture in front of the altar, portrait near the tree and rings on the bride’s bouquet anymore,

0:01:30.306,0:01:33.090
it is about the complete story,

0:01:33.090,0:01:37.597
from getting ready till the reception late in the evening.

0:01:40.550,0:01:45.942
For me the most important is the trust,

0:01:45.942,0:01:48.618
which I have to win very quickly,

0:01:48.618,0:01:52.743
it is about common understanding with the people I am photographing

0:01:52.743,0:01:55.917
and about having fun together.

0:01:58.625,0:02:02.997
A considerable amount of my work is creative postproduction.

0:02:02.997,0:02:06.861
During this process I can intensify the mood and the atmosphere of the photo,

0:02:06.861,0:02:11.543
turning good raw pictures into creative pieces of art.

0:02:11.543,0:02:13.451
For the most couples

0:02:13.451,0:02:18.209
I then create with these results a beautiful, individually designed wedding album.

0:03:11.171,0:03:14.341
“The pictures are just perfect, they are gigantic!

0:03:14.341,0:03:16.634
I am absolutely thrilled. Really,

0:03:16.634,0:03:21.459
I have rarely seen such beautiful photos of this couple.

0:03:21.459,0:03:25.539
When our son gets married, we’ll book you again,

0:03:25.539,0:03:29.874
we have already clear about that.

0:03:29.874,0:03:33.065
We’ll do it again because it is worth every cent,

0:03:33.065,0:03:36.549
it is a precious memory for the lifetime and there is no second chance for this motive.”

0:03:37.180,0:03:41.718
It is a beautiful feeling to make people happy.

0:03:41.718,0:03:47.511
I get it when I present my pictures and albums to the couple.

0:03:47.511,0:03:51.950
I see how happy they are and it makes me happy.

0:03:51.950,0:03:54.708
This is the best part of my job.
