Hi, I'm Melanie, wedding photographer and film lover, based in Germany, available worldwide. To me wedding photography is capturing unique moments, the intensity of love through visual art with a documentary style and editorial approach combined. Timeless poetry, yet revealing the essence of you as a couple in a subtlety, artful and genuine way.
You are the author of your wedding day. The day you say your vows to your person should be the most intimate, memorable day of your life! It is so important to feel safe so you can put your vulnerable self in front of the camera so authentic and genuine moments are able to be captured. My work is heavily influenced by photographing real moments, not posed ones. Let's capture the genuine relationship between you two, all big and small moments, every detail and every emotion.
"Melanie documented our wedding from the beginning to the end in such a perfect way. She's got the eye for capturing the atmosphere and every little detail. We also booked an engagement shoot in advance which convinced us even more she's the right photographer to capture our wedding day. We can't wait to see Melanie again and visit her for future photoshoots."
"Because Melanie impressed us during our civil wedding, it was clear to us from the beginning that she must not be absent from our big wedding celebration. From getting to know her, through the planning, to the actual photo sessions, we felt incredibly comfortable with Melanie at every stage.Her enchanting personality immediately dispelled any nervousness we had. The ease and familiarity during the photo sessions were unique for us. With an unmistakable eye for details and authentic moments, she captured our most beautiful moments forever. Throughout, Melanie was reliable, professional, and fair. We were particularly impressed by the speed of her work. Dear Melanie, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our emotional moments. With these moments, we, our friends, and family will have joy for many years to come. Thank you for your trust and sensitivity."
"Meli is a true artist! To me, simply the world's best photographer. The photos speak for themselves... so natural, genuine, and simply wonderful. I am consistently thrilled with the results every time. We met Meli during a couple's photo session. She is such a kind and enchanting person. You feel comfortable right away. Shortly after, we got engaged, and it was immediately clear: Meli must be our photographer on this special day. (Fun fact: We scheduled our wedding date based on her calendar because we absolutely wanted her as our photographer! And that means something, hehe ; ) What can I say? I now hold the photos of our wedding in my hands. I am speechless, infinitely grateful, and get goosebumps when I look at them. Memories for eternity that touch the heart. Thank you, Melanie, for your wonderful work!"
"Melanie accompanied us photographically at our wedding, from getting ready to the party! Melanie just knows what she's doing! Her pictures are all so beautiful and, above all, natural! She has such a great style. Thanks to her pleasant nature, one feels very comfortable in her presence. If you ever don't know what to do, she has the best tips! We are overjoyed to have booked Melanie, and the pictures are simply beautiful memories!"
My main focus above all else is that you are in the moment together, and enjoying your big day, not worrying about anything. Many couples fear being awkward in front of the camera - but by the end of the day, they keep
saying how fun it's been and how it felt like a date spending time with each other and also being grateful to escape the party for a bit and just enjoy some moments just with their partner.
