It is these special moments that can tell a story without many words - depending on the viewer's imagination. I'll keep the real story to myself - it's much more exciting that way. And don't worry - they are still alive.

The most beautiful pictures are created when the bride and groom do not even know that they are being photographed. Like this couple in a tropical setting of Indonesia. This is the meaning of wedding reportage.

When I was allowed to photograph these two cuties on their day, all the weather forecasts were on the storm. We nevertheless went to a nearby, completely muddy field and used the very few sun rays of the day. The two were so in love and proud of each other and that is exactly the message of this picture.

If you get married in the Corona period, then please with sunshine. And the two deserve it; they already had to postpone their wedding due to Corona. Monica is pregnant and the weather was kind to both of them at the last possible appointment before the birth.

Rings as a sign of infinity always have a special meaning on the wedding day. This small and yet so important item simply deserves to be shown in the right light. I love the wedding photographer's ability to free up the time for a close inspection.

Love makes time standstill. In the middle of the city center of Aachen, this wedding couple lets time standstill. No matter what happens around them - nothing can distract their love. Maybe another form of lockdown.

A good wedding report shows what is really going on. As in this picture, which captures a small, intimate moment between bride and groom. I think the two radiate a wonderful unity - exactly what love means.

When Cologne football fans celebrate their wedding, the location must of course be near the 1. FC Köln stadium. With a few flares and loud roars, they "stormed" towards the stadium and had a lot of fun doing it.

Something wonderful about a wedding is, that no matter what happens, the good mood and happiness of a couple is not clouded by anything. Not even with a heavy rain shower during the bridal couple shooting. The groom has to help out spontaneously so that the bride can step up her legs. The absolutly right moment to take picture.

It was the first time after the corona-lockdown that a wedding couple could join a party with 50 people. Especially in Cologne, it was time to toast with a beer called "Kölsch".
