fotorika

I’m Rika — the photographer behind fotorika, based in Buchholz in der Nordheide. I specialise in documentary-style wedding photography that captures honest moments: not only posed portraits but the small, unguarded instances that make a wedding unique. After more than a decade working as a freelance photographer, I know how much trust and calm are needed for genuine emotions to surface. Why choose fotorika? Because I value authenticity. My approach combines unobtrusive observation with thoughtfully composed couple portraits: I blend into the background, document spontaneous gestures, tears and laughter, and still take time for beautiful, composed images of you as a couple. No stiff ‘‘say cheese’’ moments — just a relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy your day while I capture your story. Preparation matters: a personal pre-shoot chat over coffee or a detailed phone call builds trust and helps me learn what matters most to you. Many couples also appreciate an engagement session as a relaxed rehearsal in front of the camera — a lovely way to become comfortable together before the big day. I have an eye for detail: the décor, nervous hands, the guest who laughs at just the right moment. These details form the heart of a wedding reportage that will bring you back to the feeling of that day. Technically confident and guided by emotion, I create images that you’ll want to display and revisit for years to come. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Buchholz in der Nordheide who specialises in emotional, candid wedding reportages and works with calm, competence and heart, please get in touch. I’d love to hear your story and accompany you on your special day.
