Benjamin Bergen Fotografie

Hi — I’m Benjamin, a wedding photographer based in Lörrach. I photograph couples who want more than staged, cookie‑cutter images: those who crave honest emotion, spontaneous moments and photographs with character. My approach blends documentary reportage with occasional creative direction — I stay present and unobtrusive but sometimes intervene to create images that better reflect your story. That blend is what I call alternative wedding photography: experimental, heartfelt and tailored to each couple. Why choose me? Years of travel, wedding work across the tri‑border region and shoots in places like the US have shaped my eye for light, mood and narrative. I consider myself more than a vendor — a collaborator. The more trust we build, the more intimate and meaningful your photos will be. How I work: We usually start with a relaxed meet‑up — in person, over coffee or by video call — to see if the chemistry fits. We plan the day together and decide when and where your couple shoot should happen. On the wedding day I capture Getting Ready, the ceremony, couple moments and the party in natural sequences, often splitting the couple session into several short shoots so you’re not away from your guests for long. After the wedding you’ll receive an online gallery with edited images; highlights are sent shortly after the day. I also offer highlight videos as an optional add‑on to bring your day to life in motion, and I can design a fine printed wedding album to hold your memories. I primarily work in Lörrach, Freiburg and Basel but travel across Germany and internationally.
