Lara Hein

I'm Lara Hein — a wedding photographer based in Rees, specializing in natural, emotional wedding reportage. I love capturing the unposed moments that make a wedding unique: the quiet nervous smile during getting ready, an unexpected tear during vows, or a spontaneous laugh on the dance floor. My aim is to tell the story of your day honestly, preserving the atmosphere and feelings as you experienced them. My approach is calm, attentive and documentary. I work unobtrusively, observing and stepping in gently when I guide you through couple portraits so you feel comfortable and relaxed. This creates authentic images and real connections without stiff posing. Engagement sessions are a wonderful complement — they give you relaxed photos together and are a great rehearsal for your wedding day. Why choose me? I combine long-standing passion with targeted further training — workshops and coaching in wedding reportage and studio work — and practical experience since my first weddings in 2019. As a photographer from the Niederrhein region, I enjoy reflecting local charm while focusing on your personal story. Building trust with couples is essential to me; I want you to feel safe and genuine in front of my lens. How I work: We begin with a personal conversation (phone or in person in Rees) to discuss your wishes and timeline. Before the wedding I clarify technical details and special photo wishes so your day runs relaxed. On the wedding day I stay flexible and attentive, capturing moments and crafting the final images with timeless editing. Afterwards you receive your photos in a curated digital gallery. Whether it’s a countryside celebration, a civil ceremony in town or an intimate family gathering — I look forward to documenting your wedding story as a devoted wedding photographer in Rees.
