Some situations make you smile. Like this picture. The bride said yes and that was not a mistake. Only her colleagues wanted a photo with her.

This picture was taken in the vineyards near Mainz in Germany. A few moments later the sun disappeared behind the mountains but the scenery had to be captured with the drone.

Through the historic city of Leipzig run many streams and rivers and correspondingly many bridges can be found in the city. Typical for this city are also the numerous graffiti. Coincidentally, the two letters match the first names, which definitely had to be captured in a picture.

A historic building like Brühl Castle is usually heavily visited. But sometimes you are lucky and are almost alone at the location.

It doesn't always have to be a bridal car. The modern bridal couple also likes to take the way to the registry office into their own hands.

In Cologne, Germany, the Hohenzollern Bridge crosses the Rhine. Thousands of love locks hang from the railing. This bridal couple has also immortalized themselves there with a castle. I was able to capture the quiet moment afterwards.

When different cultures meet, there are also different customs and traditions. Like here with the Danes: When the guests start to trample their feet, the bride and groom first have to climb on chairs and kiss and then crawl under the table and kiss again. Of course, a wonderful photo motif.

In the high mountains of Koh Samui, Thailand, stands the so-called Overlap Stone. A bridge leads to this stone and takes a good portion of courage to go to this platform as a bride with the appropriate dress. Around the stone it goes frighteningly steep downhill. Special locations often result in special pictures.

Basically, getting ready is one of the most beautiful moments during a wedding. The transformation into a beautiful bride, with a professional make-up and a great hairstyle and of course the wonderful wedding dress, is unique. The moment when the dress is closed in the last step and thus the transformation is visually completed is always magical. I really enjoy and love this special moment.

Again and again I am allowed to shoot wedding couples around the world. This year I was able to accompany two couples in Thailand - one in Chiang Rai, where this photo was taken. Without wanting to advertise; the bridal couple shooting took place in a wonderful park. If you like to drink Thai beer, you will know very quickly where this photo was taken.

Another photo taken in Thailand during a wedding. This time on the island of Koh Samui. Meanwhile, I accompany quite a lot of weddings of European couples abroad, which is not much more expensive than when I accompany a wedding in Europe. My passion for special places is often reward enough.

To this photo you could say: "no matter how bad everything around you may be, we go a common way."
Just make it simple and it will be authentic.
