WEBVTT 00:00:06.540 --> 00:00:11.456 My first weddings I have photographed just for fun. 00:00:11.456 --> 00:00:15.340 I have been already photographing professionally before, 00:00:15.340 --> 00:00:18.833 but I have noticed that as a photographer, 00:00:18.833 --> 00:00:23.166 especially photographing wedding I can be most creative. 00:00:23.166 --> 00:00:26.162 As a wedding photographer I am photographing people, 00:00:26.162 --> 00:00:30.920 architecture, objects and, mostly, documentary. 00:00:33.090 --> 00:00:37.308 For me, wedding photography is definitely a creative discipline. 00:00:37.308 --> 00:00:41.032 Most important is the photographer’s individual vision, 00:00:41.032 --> 00:00:46.581 the ability to notice details, overseen by the others. 00:00:46.581 --> 00:00:50.236 On the other side, for me it is not art for art's sake. 00:00:50.236 --> 00:00:53.825 For me it is primarily about the couple 00:00:53.825 --> 00:00:57.929 and in my pictures I want to show these concrete people 00:00:57.929 --> 00:01:00.583 not only from their chocolate side, 00:01:00.583 --> 00:01:05.372 but also as natural and authentic, as possible. 00:01:09.096 --> 00:01:14.534 Modern wedding photography has to my mind (besides the common term) 00:01:14.534 --> 00:01:19.014 little to do with the wedding photography from the time of our parents. 00:01:19.014 --> 00:01:23.610 It is not only about all these obligatory motives 00:01:23.610 --> 00:01:30.306 like the picture in front of the altar, portrait near the tree and rings on the bride’s bouquet anymore, 00:01:30.306 --> 00:01:33.090 it is about the complete story, 00:01:33.090 --> 00:01:37.597 from getting ready till the reception late in the evening. 00:01:40.550 --> 00:01:45.942 For me the most important is the trust, 00:01:45.942 --> 00:01:48.618 which I have to win very quickly, 00:01:48.618 --> 00:01:52.743 it is about common understanding with the people I am photographing 00:01:52.743 --> 00:01:55.917 and about having fun together. 00:01:58.625 --> 00:02:02.997 A considerable amount of my work is creative postproduction. 00:02:02.997 --> 00:02:06.861 During this process I can intensify the mood and the atmosphere of the photo, 00:02:06.861 --> 00:02:11.543 turning good raw pictures into creative pieces of art. 00:02:11.543 --> 00:02:13.451 For the most couples 00:02:13.451 --> 00:02:18.209 I then create with these results a beautiful, individually designed wedding album. 00:03:11.171 --> 00:03:14.341 “The pictures are just perfect, they are gigantic! 00:03:14.341 --> 00:03:16.634 I am absolutely thrilled. Really, 00:03:16.634 --> 00:03:21.459 I have rarely seen such beautiful photos of this couple. 00:03:21.459 --> 00:03:25.539 When our son gets married, we’ll book you again, 00:03:25.539 --> 00:03:29.874 we have already clear about that. 00:03:29.874 --> 00:03:33.065 We’ll do it again because it is worth every cent, 00:03:33.065 --> 00:03:36.549 it is a precious memory for the lifetime and there is no second chance for this motive.” 00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:41.718 It is a beautiful feeling to make people happy. 00:03:41.718 --> 00:03:47.511 I get it when I present my pictures and albums to the couple. 00:03:47.511 --> 00:03:51.950 I see how happy they are and it makes me happy. 00:03:51.950 --> 00:03:54.708 This is the best part of my job. 00:03:55.534 --> 00:03:57.695 Video by Happy Moments, Music by Ryan Taubert, themusicbed 00:03:57.695 --> 00:04:01.695
