Melissa Herkommer PHOTOGRAPHY

As a wedding photographer based in Schwäbisch Gmünd, my greatest joy is capturing real emotions and the small moments that make a day unforgettable. I'm Melissa — attentive, warm, and with a passion for telling stories through images. My approach is rooted in natural, unposed photography: “I photograph you as you are — natural and unforced. Emotion decides the pose!” Why choose me? Because I treat each wedding as a personal story. Rather than staging every moment, I look for genuine connections, candid reactions and the details that reflect your relationship. I work unobtrusively in the background while stepping forward when needed — whether for intimate getting‑ready shots, a heartfelt couple session in the countryside, or spontaneous moments during the ceremony. Many couples say I feel more like a friend than a vendor: supportive, calming and present. My focus is on wedding reportage: documentary, emotional and timeless. I blend candid storytelling with gently guided poses so your images feel authentic and beautiful. I often accompany couples for the entire day — one of my favorites is the getting‑ready phase, where anticipation and small rituals create some of the most touching photographs. Before your wedding we meet in a relaxed setting to discuss your wishes, the timeline and location ideas in and around Schwäbisch Gmünd. Engagement sessions are a wonderful way to get comfortable in front of the camera and to capture your connection before the big day. My style is heartfelt, professional and flexible. I create personalised wedding photography because every love story deserves its own visual language. If you want authentic, emotional wedding photos and a photographer who will accompany you with care and enthusiasm, I would be honored to capture your story for a lifetime.
