Svenja Sonntag

Based in Rastede, I specialise in wedding photography that tells the real story of your day. My focus is on natural wedding reportage: capturing honest emotions, quiet moments and unscripted scenes that bring you back to the feeling of your wedding whenever you look at the photos. I prefer shooting outdoors and love working with natural light, open locations and relaxed celebrations where genuine images can unfold. What sets me apart is a personable and down-to-earth approach: I don’t just take pictures — I experience the day with you. I move through the schedule attentively and unobtrusively, ready to step in with practical help when small complications arise. For couple portraits I give simple, clear direction (I’ll demonstrate poses if needed) so your bridal-session feels natural and intimate rather than staged. My style blends reportage with thoughtfully composed moments. I prioritise real gestures and glances over over-the-top posing. As a mother and an experienced children photographer, I’m comfortable with little guests and family dynamics, which is a real advantage for family photos during the celebration. I also offer engagement (pre-wedding) shoots — a relaxed way to get used to the camera and to create images you can use for invitations or display at the wedding. I’ll gladly discuss your ideas, suggest suitable locations around Rastede, and tailor the shoot to fit your personality. Why choose me? Because I accompany weddings with care, warmth and reliability; because my images are honest and emotional; and because I’m a calm, supportive presence before, during and after your day. If you’re looking for a personal wedding reportage from Rastede and the surrounding area, I’d love to hear from you.
