Lichtbildpalast

As a wedding photographer based in Herdecke, I—Juliane Bukowski of Lichtbildpalast—bring years of experience and a heartfelt approach to documenting your day. For more than 20 years I have accompanied couples across the Ruhr area and Sauerland, focusing on emotional, unobtrusive wedding reportages that capture genuine moments. Why choose me: I combine a calm, reassuring presence with a keen eye for detail, helping couples and their guests feel comfortable in front of the camera. Many clients describe my approach as friendly and familiar—more like a trusted companion than a stranger—which allows real, spontaneous moments to unfold naturally. From fleeting glances to joyful laughter and quiet, intimate exchanges, I preserve the moments that make your wedding unique. My process: We begin with a relaxed meeting—often over coffee—where we discuss your wishes, plan a rough timeline, and select locations and outfit ideas. On the day itself I can accompany you for the full day or for selected parts; I stay discreet, stepping in when a composed portrait or a special scene naturally presents itself. Engagement shoots and couple sessions are a lovely way to get comfortable in front of the camera and explore meaningful locations together. My images aim to be natural and timeless, avoiding heavy retouching. In recent years my passion has shifted increasingly outdoors—I love to include the atmosphere of on-location settings and natural light in your wedding story. After the wedding we’ll review your photos together, reliving the day through the images. I present your pictures thoughtfully so your memories are kept safe and beautiful. I look forward to meeting you and telling your story through emotional wedding photography. Reach out for a non-binding consultation—I'll bring experience, calm, and an attentive ear for what matters to you.
