Wedding photographer Aplerbeck – Anna Dumke captures real moments: reportage-style wedding photography, relaxed couple shoots and optional engagement photos.
Based in Aplerbeck near Dortmund, I specialise in wedding reportage that captures the authentic moments and emotions of your day. Since 2012 I have worked as a photo designer across Dortmund and the Ruhr area, focusing on natural, lifestyle-oriented wedding photography. My approach combines documentary observation with sensitive portraits so your photos not only look beautiful but tell a meaningful story. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? I bring calm, experience and a personal touch to every booking. From the first conversation to the final delivery of images I aim to make the process relaxed and clear. Getting to know you and understanding your wishes helps me create an atmosphere where you can be yourselves. During the couple shoot I rely less on rigid poses and more on small, gentle prompts and natural movement to create intimate, honest portraits. On the wedding day I work unobtrusively, staying in the background to capture candid moments while stepping in when a composed portrait is needed. In addition to full wedding reportage I offer engagement (Verlobungsfotos) sessions on request — a great way to practice in front of the camera and create images for invitations or your guestbook. As a mother and family photographer I bring patience and empathy to every assignment — qualities that are invaluable on a wedding day. Every couple receives tailored support: I adapt the reportage to your schedule, priorities and personal style. If you have questions about the workflow or wedding photography pricing, get in touch — I prepare transparent, personalised offers. Your wedding deserves images that still evoke feeling years from now. Let’s tell your story in pictures — personal, emotional and timeless. I look forward to hearing from couples in Aplerbeck, Dortmund and the surrounding Ruhrgebiet.
