Martin Schneider | Fotografie

I’m Martin Schneider, a wedding photographer based in Görlitz specializing in modern, emotional wedding reportage and natural couple shoots. I focus on capturing authentic, unposed moments—those small gestures and passing expressions that reveal the real emotion of the day. My philosophy is simple: avoid kitsch and standard clichés, be present at the right moment, and use light to highlight personality and mood. My style is unobtrusive and attentive. During a wedding I act as an observer, seeking out genuine interactions rather than staging them. This approach allows me to document the story of your day—from quiet preparations and the ceremony to candid laughter and spontaneous celebrations—so your images feel honest and timeless. For couple sessions, I create a relaxed environment that encourages natural poses and genuine connection, resulting in portraits that truly reflect who you are together. I’m mobile throughout the Görlitz region and surrounding areas, happy to photograph in the city’s historic streets, at a favorite outdoor spot, or at your chosen venue. Before the wedding we’ll have a conversation to align expectations, go over the schedule, and scout locations when needed. That preparation builds trust and makes the shooting experience calm and confident. In addition to wedding reportage, I offer engagement shoots as a complementary service—perfect for getting comfortable in front of the camera or for your announcements. My images emphasize authentic emotion, thoughtful light use, and a contemporary aesthetic. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Görlitz who works quietly, reliably, and with a real passion for storytelling, I’d love to hear from you. Together we’ll create images that bring your wedding day back to life for years to come.
