Melanie Hinz Fotografie

I am Melanie — your wedding photographer from Hattingen, active across the Ruhr area and throughout NRW. My passion is documentary wedding photography: I want to capture your day exactly as it was — honest, lively and without forced poses. Every wedding is close to my heart, and I put all my energy into making sure you relive the same feelings when you look at your images later. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? I work unobtrusively while remaining right in the midst of things: my style is authentic and reportagelike. I observe, discover small moments of joy and capture them with a confident eye. At the same time, I take time for personal portraits where you feel comfortable — relaxed, natural and with plenty of room for your genuine smiles. I love working with natural light and pay attention to the details that make your wedding unique. How I work with you: to begin, I offer a free, no-obligation consultation by phone or video chat so we can check the chemistry and discuss your wishes. On the wedding day I work discreetly and professionally, adapt to the schedule and document everything from getting ready to the emotional moments during the celebration — I’m also happy to accompany you for a full-day coverage. After the wedding I carefully select and hand-edit your images so a coherent, personal visual language emerges. The finished photos are delivered via a private online gallery for easy download. I photograph weddings in Hattingen, across the Ruhr area and throughout NRW — and I am available to travel across Germany on request. I also offer engagement or couple sessions if you’d like to get to know each other in front of the camera in a relaxed setting before the big day. If a natural, emotional reportage style is important to you and you want to preserve your memories in loving, honest images, I look forward to hearing from you. Your wedding is unique and irreplaceable — I help make those days visible forever. Yours, Melanie Hinz — Wedding Photographer from Hattingen.
