Fotografie Manuel Hilgert

Fotografie Manuel Hilgert is a wedding photographer based in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm, specialized in emotional, documentary-style wedding coverage. My approach can be summed up in one phrase: naturally lively. I focus on capturing real moments—unscripted smiles, quiet glances, the chaos and the calm—so your wedding photos remain timeless and true to the day. Why choose me? Because I treat each wedding as a unique story. I combine a calm presence, an eye for meaningful detail and technical reliability to document your day from preparations through the ceremony to the evening celebration. My style is unobtrusive: no staged scenes unless you want them, no artificial flash shows—just honest images that let you relive the emotions years later. How I work: Our collaboration starts with a conversation—over coffee, on the phone or online. A getting-to-know shoot (engagement session) is available and helps everyone relax in front of the camera. On the wedding day I move like a quiet observer, anticipating moments and reacting fast so I don’t miss the small things that matter. I always bring backup equipment and create secure backups of your images. What you receive: carefully edited, high-resolution photos delivered in a protected online gallery, plus the option of handcrafted photo albums and premium prints. Delivery is typically within a few weeks so you can revisit your day without long waits. I primarily serve Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm and the surrounding region, and am happy to travel across Bavaria. I limit the number of weddings I accept each year to ensure each couple receives my full attention. If you want a photographer who is professional, relaxed, and passionate about telling your wedding story, I’d love to hear from you.
