Joyce Karanfilyan Fotografie

Based in Recklinghausen, Joyce Karanfilyan is a wedding photographer who focuses on authentic, lively and emotional wedding reportage. Since completing her training in 2015, Joyce has refined her eye for capturing the beauty in unposed, real moments. Rather than relying on heavy staging, she prioritizes candid interactions—the shy glances, spontaneous laughter and quiet moments that together tell the story of your day. The result are timeless images that transport you back to the feeling of your celebration. Why book Joyce? Her approach blends solid technical skills with a warm, relaxed manner that helps couples feel at ease. She begins with a personal pre‑wedding meeting to go through the schedule, portrait ideas and any special wishes. This preparation makes her unobtrusive and confident on the wedding day, so she can capture both the major moments and the small details without interrupting the flow. Joyce’s style is documentary-led with an emphasis on natural light and honest portraits. She offers calm, guided couple sessions that allow you to breathe and enjoy each other while she photographs authentic connection rather than posed perfection. As a complementary service she also offers engagement (verlobungsfotos) sessions for couples who want additional memories before the wedding. Familiar with beautiful local outdoor locations and able to work in a studio setting when desired, Joyce creates a comfortable atmosphere where you can be yourselves. If you’re looking for a specialized wedding photographer in Recklinghausen who captures real emotion and the small, priceless moments of your day, Joyce is ready to tell your story—gently, honestly and with heart.
