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.
"Working with Melanie was an absolute joy from start to finish. Her kindness, patience, and genuine warmth made the entire process feel effortless and enjoyable. She brought such a positive, calming energy that truly elevated our day and helped capture some incredibly special moments. Melanie was always quick to respond, consistently supportive, and made us feel completely at ease throughout. The photos turned out beautifully and we are so happy to have chosen her!"
"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!"
"We highly recommend Melanie for any event you may be organising! Her photography is incredible, with an eye for detail and sincere emotions. She photographed both our civil wedding and wedding party, and in both events provided a calm presence, offering suggestions as well as quietly flowing between people to capture honest and candid moments. She was also always available for any questions or concerns we had from before, during, and after the events."
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.
