Melina Krause Fotografie

I’m Melina — a wedding photographer based in Schwalmtal, specialising in authentic, emotional wedding reportage. For me, wedding photos are more than posed images; they are time capsules that bring you back to the feeling of the day — the goosebumps, the quiet smiles, and the joyful tears. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? I follow a storytelling approach: observant during the ceremony, attentive in the in‑between moments and caring during the couple shoot. I avoid stiff posing and staging; instead I give gentle guidance so your connection can show naturally and spontaneously in the images. My style is personal and approachable. As a mother, I know how quickly special moments pass and how precious calm, honest memories are. I bring patience, calm and a sense for timing to every wedding — knowing when to step back and when to create gentle direction. The result: lively, honest and timeless photos that reflect your day. How I work: we get to know each other first — via contact form, WhatsApp or phone. I usually reply within 48 hours and offer a planning call to discuss your wishes and the flow of the day. On the wedding day I accompany you discreetly, capturing the mood with sensitivity and taking time for a relaxed couple session. You’ll receive a short highlight preview shortly after the wedding and a fully edited gallery within the agreed timeframe. I also offer engagement and couple sessions — perfect as a warm‑up for the wedding or to capture your excitement before the big day. My promise is consistent: real emotions, natural images and a collaboration where you feel comfortable. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Schwalmtal who tells your story with heart, humor and attention to detail, let’s talk. I’d love to preserve your heart‑felt moments.
