Irina Maier Fotografie

I’m Irina Maier — a wedding photographer based in Leichlingen, specialised in capturing calm, authentic wedding reportages across NRW. My work is built on quiet presence, sensitivity and an eye for the small, honest moments that make each wedding unique. I photograph in a documentary/reportage style: observing, blending in and capturing moments as they naturally unfold. The result are timeless, unforced images without staged poses or stress. Why choose me as your wedding photographer: I bring a composed, reassuring energy that helps couples and guests relax — and that calmness shows in the photos. Technically I work with two cameras and full backup equipment to ensure safe, reliable coverage, so you can focus on your day. My goal is to tell your story sincerely: from getting‑ready through the ceremony to the celebration. How I work with couples: Before the wedding we’ll talk in detail — in person or by phone — to understand your wishes and the day’s flow. Many couples appreciate a getting‑to‑know or engagement session (LoveStory), which builds trust and makes the couple shoot on the wedding day feel natural and relaxed. On the day I stay discreet, offer gentle guidance when needed and translate intimate moments into expressive images. My services are aimed at couples who value natural, emotive wedding photography — whether an intimate registry ceremony in Leichlingen, a free outdoor blessing or a larger celebration in Cologne or Düsseldorf. For full‑day bookings I offer flexible arrangements, including options to reschedule portraits if weather prevents outdoor shooting (weather guarantee). If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who works with heart, calm and experience to tell your story in authentic images, I’d love to hear from you. I’m happy to discuss style, schedule and all questions from engagement shoots to After‑Wedding sessions.
