Rea Papke Photography

Hello — I’m Rea Papke, a wedding photographer based in Kiel. My passion is capturing genuine emotions and the atmosphere of your day so the images tell your story years from now. Rooted in Kiel and with many years of experience, I photograph weddings with a focus on natural, timeless moments. My approach is documentary: I accompany your day discreetly and attentively, documenting small gestures, laughter and quiet moments, while also creating space for a relaxed couple session where intimate and natural portraits are made. I prioritize your comfort, working in a friendly, calm manner that helps even the camera‑shy feel at ease. I’m happy to photograph weddings in Kiel, Lübeck, Hamburg, Sylt, across Schleswig‑Holstein and even in Denmark. Every couple and celebration is unique, so I place great value on personal meetings to discuss your wishes, the schedule and any special moments. That way the photos truly reflect your personality and the mood of the day. In addition to wedding reportage I offer a Love‑Story / engagement session — a relaxed shoot before the wedding that gives you beautiful images and lets us get to know each other, which pays off on the wedding day. My images are meant to remain timeless, to look beautiful in albums and on walls, and to instantly take you back when you view them. If you want authentic, personal wedding photography with heart, calm and experience, I’d love to hear from you so we can plan the photographic coverage that suits you.
