Wedding photographer in Oer-Erkenschwick, specialized in emotional reportage and couple shoots. Personal pre-consultation, creative lighting and careful retouching for lasting memories.
As a wedding photographer based in Oer-Erkenschwick, I focus on capturing genuine emotions and the unscripted moments that make each celebration unique. With over 25 years of professional experience and a deliberate choice for a calm, private working environment, I combine documentary storytelling with attentive portrait work. This balance lets me document the atmosphere and spontaneous gestures while creating relaxed, beautiful couple portraits. Communication and preparation are central to my approach. In a thorough pre-consultation we discuss your ideas, the desired style and the flow of the day so that the photography feels natural and true to you. Whether you prefer modern, romantic, natural or dreamy images, I tailor the shoot to your vision and guide you gently through poses and light setups to bring out your best. My background in portrait and family photography informs my wedding work: I give clear, patient direction while preserving authenticity. I use different lighting techniques to emphasize form and mood, and every image receives careful post-processing — detailed retouching and color work to ensure elegant, timeless results. Engagement (pre-wedding) sessions and dedicated couple shoots are available as complementary options — a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and create additional keepsakes. I know lovely outdoor locations around Recklinghausen and the wider NRW area, and I also offer studio sessions for couples who prefer a quiet setting. If you are looking for a personal, experienced and sensitive photographer to accompany your wedding day, I welcome the chance to meet you. Together we’ll create images that feel honest, emotional and unforgettable.
