Pose and Say Cheese Photography

I’m Swapan Chhabra — a wedding photographer based in Ettlingen who focuses on capturing real, unposed moments. My approach is documentary-led: I accompany your day calmly and attentively to capture the small gestures, laughter and spontaneous moments that make your story unique. I aim to deliver more than pictures — I create memories you’ll want to revisit. Why choose me? Because I specialise in wedding photography and combine unobtrusive reportage with thoughtfully composed couple portraits. This mix ensures you get emotional candid shots as well as timeless portraits of the bride and groom. I work closely with my couples: from a free initial consultation to planning the day and delivering the edited images, I provide a personal and reliable service. How I work: Before the wedding we meet to discuss your wishes — favourite locations, meaningful rituals or inspiration images. On the day I remain discreet yet present; I don’t interrupt the flow but look for the moments in between. For engagement sessions and couple shoots I create relaxed settings that show your connection naturally and build confidence in front of the camera. After the event I carefully select and retouch the best images to deliver a cohesive, timeless gallery. Living and working around Karlsruhe and Ettlingen and influenced by my multicultural background, I bring patience, empathy and a keen eye for colour and composition — qualities that matter at weddings. Whether an intimate registry office ceremony or a lively celebration with many guests, I capture the details that tell your story. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Ettlingen who values authenticity, heart and a personal collaboration, let’s get in touch. Together we’ll create a photographic concept that fits you — from engagement photos to the bride & groom session and beyond.
