DortemFotografie

I’m Dorte from DortemFotografie, a wedding photographer based in Paderborn who specialises in capturing the little moments that become lifelong memories. I call them "marmalade‑jar moments" — the small, precious instances you want to revisit and share years from now. This approach guides every wedding reportage, couple shoot and engagement session I create. What sets me apart is a gentle, attentive style. My first camera arrived when I was six, and that early curiosity for detail still shapes my photography today. On your wedding day I work unobtrusively and with sensitivity: observing and documenting spontaneous emotions, stepping in only when you want a few relaxed, directed portraits. The result are natural wedding photos that reflect the true mood and spirit of your day. My services focus on full wedding reportage, intimate bride-and-groom sessions and engagement photos. Before the wedding we take time to get to know each other—your wishes, favourite places and special moments—so you feel comfortable in front of the camera. On the day I document preparations, quiet glances, laughter and the emotional highlights, creating images that transport you back to the feelings of that day. Why choose me? Because I treat wedding photography as a matter of the heart: I love honest moments, real emotions and creating a calm atmosphere where couples can be themselves. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Paderborn who will accompany you without intruding and tell your story in warm, timeless images, get in touch—I’d love to hear about your plans and capture your marmalade‑jar moments.
