As a wedding photographer in Herdecke I capture genuine moments and emotions. Specialised in authentic wedding reportage and stylish couple shoots across the Ruhr area.
My name is Ralf Schönenberg. As a wedding photographer based in Herdecke, I specialize in capturing your wedding day honestly and beautifully. My focus is on wedding reportage, bride and groom shoots, and a calm, observant presence that lets genuine moments unfold naturally. My aim is to create images that do more than look good — they should bring back the feeling of the day. What sets my work apart is a combination of empathy, experience and technical reliability. With more than ten years of experience in wedding photography, I understand how unique and fleeting wedding moments are — and I make sure to capture them. I favor a documentary approach that is attentive but unobtrusive, complemented by composed portrait work for couple images and important details. I value the personal relationship with my clients: we’ll meet beforehand to discuss your wishes and, if desired, do an engagement or getting‑to‑know shoot. On the day of the wedding I work calmly, courteously and discreetly so you can enjoy your celebration. Technically, I’m prepared for every situation — professional equipment, fast prime lenses and duplicate gear minimize the risk of technical issues during those once‑in‑a‑lifetime moments. I mainly serve Herdecke, the Ruhr area and nearby cities like Hagen and Dortmund. Flexibility, short communication lines and strong customer focus are central to my approach — I’m not satisfied until you are. While wedding photography is my primary specialization, I also offer engagement sessions upon request. If you’re looking for a personal, unobtrusive and technically assured wedding photographer in Herdecke, I’d be happy to hear from you. Together we’ll create images that you’ll cherish for years to come.
