Eva Mertzen - Fotografie & Design

I’m Eva — a wedding photographer based in Bottrop in the heart of the Ruhr area. There are few things I enjoy more than accompanying couples on their big day and capturing genuine moments. My work is characterised by an unobtrusive, reportage-style approach: I observe, document and only intervene when a small nudge creates a special portrait. This way, natural, timeless images are created that convey the feeling of your day. Why choose me? Because trust is the foundation of every collaboration for me. We start with a straightforward inquiry, I send you a clear offer with helpful tips, and we meet in person to get to know each other. In that meeting we go through your schedule, discuss wishes for the couple shoot, getting ready, ceremony and reception, and agree on the coverage time. It’s important to me that we connect on a human level — only then do the intimate, lively moments arise that will move you later. My approach is pragmatic, warm and attentive. I bring creativity and years of experience, work reliably on a technical level, and am often described as a calm, competent presence. Whether delicate love-story impressions before the ceremony, the emotional “I do” or exuberant party photos — I document your day as a cohesive, high-quality wedding reportage. On request I can also help create a wedding album so your memories have a beautiful home. Transparency matters to me: on my website you’ll find initial information about prices and package options; for a personalised quote, please tell me your desired date and your ideas. If I’m unavailable on your date, my reliable network of colleagues steps in — or we plan with a team to capture multiple perspectives. As a family and wedding photographer from the Ruhr region, I look forward to telling your story in images. If my work speaks to you: say “yes” — and write to me. Then we’ll set out together to create memories that will still move you years from now.
