Bastian Maria Fotografie

I'm Bastian Maria – adventurer & photographer based in Friedrichshafen at Lake Constance – and I specialise as a wedding photographer for couples who want authentic memories rather than posed perfection. My approach is documentary: I watch, wait for the moment, and capture the small gestures, laughter and quiet glances that make each wedding unique. Working as a wedding photographer in Friedrichshafen, I prioritise a calm and respectful presence. I stay unobtrusive so you can focus on each other. For couple sessions I prefer natural interaction over forced poses — with gentle guidance I help create relaxed images that feel real. The result are timeless photographs that tell your story, not just pretty pictures. My wedding reportage often begins with preparations and can include first look moments, the civil or religious ceremony and the celebration afterwards — each part with its own atmosphere. I also offer engagement shoots to help you get comfortable in front of the camera and create images you can use for invitations or save‑the‑dates. Why choose me? Because I value authenticity, I see you as people, not as props. My reportage style captures emotion and narrative so you can relive the day years from now. Living close to Lake Constance gives me a deep familiarity with local locations and light — a resource I love to use in your images. The process is personal: we meet to talk about your wishes and craft a photography plan that fits your day. If you want natural wedding photos and an empathetic wedding reportage in Friedrichshafen or the surrounding Bodensee region, I’d be honoured to document your story.
