Two Souls – one Story – Memories forever. As a wedding photographer based in Meiningen, I specialize in telling your wedding day as an honest, emotional reportage. I’m not after staged perfection but the small, candid moments: a grandparent’s smile, a secret glance during the ceremony, a quiet embrace between two people. Those are the moments that make your story singular—and those are the moments I preserve for you. My approach is personal, calm and trust-based. I want you to feel safe and comfortable in front of my camera, which is why getting to know each other beforehand is essential. Whether over a Coke or a short video call, building that connection allows me to photograph you naturally. On your wedding day I’m more than a photographer—I’m a trusted presence, a time manager, and a quiet observer. I focus equally on the big moments and the tender in-betweens so you can relive your day again and again. After the wedding you’ll receive a small preview and later your complete online gallery—carefully edited in my signature look. For full-day coverages I’m happy to work with a second photographer to capture multiple perspectives. I also offer engagement shoots as a secondary service: a lovely way to get comfortable in front of the camera and create images you can use for invitations or save-the-dates. I’m based in Meiningen and the Rhön, serving couples across Thüringen and beyond. My images should move you today and still tell your story in years to come. If you want a heartfelt, authentic wedding reportage that documents your love in a timeless way, let’s get in touch—your story deserves to be kept.
