Iceland is one of the most charismatic countries on earth. This jungle of nature, color and light is just the paradise for me as a photographer. Weddings in this country are the absolute highlight. The contrast between a bride and this grandiose landscape is just fantastic. But it was so f***cold, that the bride didn't really had fun after a hour of shooting :-)

I think the contrast between a dilapidated, vanishing location is very inspiring for many photographers.
On the one hand something slowly passes - on the other hand something new is emerging: a young family and everything that grows out of it. These opposites always give wedding pictures a little story.

An old factory near the party location was the location for the bridal couple shoot. Unfortunately it rained that day and only little light was available. I found this armchair in a corner and found these lighting conditions in another room. Since I never really use lightning to capture the real situation, it took a few tries to get this picture. But i love it - and i hope you love it too.

I love it when bridal couples sometimes take more difficult photos. Now one wonders what was so difficult about it ?! OK. The access to the pasture was secured with barbed wire. The bride is afraid of cows, and a wedding dress doesn't really get along with what cows leave behind in a pasture. :-) Still, both of them managed it wonderfully.

This couple has a close connection to their homeland, whose flagship is huge fields of water lilies. The two love water lilies - their daughter is also named after a variety.
With my drone I was able to give both of them such a picture.

Take off into the clouds with happiness.
The friends had no mercy on the bridegroom and made him look frighteningly high. Sometimes I also got scared because the "safety net" was very sketchy. But we all survived and ist was definitely a lot of fun.

Ayleen and Max were civilly married in Germany. The church wedding took place in Flims, Switzerland. We were able to take this picture just in time, before the sun disappeared behind a fantastich mountain formation.

This wonderful moment was taken in Dubai, a few seconds before the bride stepped onto the wedding stage. She told me that she hardly noticed anything except her heart, which was beating up her throat. Wonderful words for a wonderful moment.

When it was possible to celebrate a wedding with over 20 people again in Germany, the joy was great. Throw away the mask and joy all the happiness in all those faces. I wish all wedding couples that a carefree wedding will soon be possible again.

Spontaneity taking photos is always something special. When I told this bride and groom to go down the path, they talked. Then suddenly he stopped and kissed his wife like that. When I asked what was the reason, they just smile. Now I know the Tessin - she told him she was pregnant.

Intimate, tender moments that are recorded unobserved from a distance show real feelings. That's why I like to take photos with 600mm. Because of the great distance, in particular, you are not tempted to intervene in the scene. The couple can concentrate entirely on themselves.

The subtropical climate, an unconventional couple and all in a boho style. You don't always have to get married in white or wear a veil. A wedding is a celebration where two people swear allegiance to each other for eternity. They love each other as they are - far from any convention. Just the thing for me as a photographer. And I am only too happy to accompany wedding couples to the places in the world that are magical for these couples.
