Whether it is about the small or the big moments, my passion lies in making the invisible visible and capturing the touching moments of life. My dedication to capturing authentic moments, pure joy, and genuine emotions on your big day, as well as the essence of you and your couple dynamic, is therefore essential to my work. My goal is to let you relive the day with my timeless images even years later – and to create images for eternity.

Kind words of my clients

"Dear Lea, thank you so much 🥰 we loooove the photos ❤️ every single one so beautiful, thank you so much for your work! My favorite pictures are the ones taken on the way back from the couple shoot ❤️ I found you to be a very pleasant photographer, I always felt comfortable with you! I especially liked how many ideas you had and how independently you worked🥰 Thank you for all your effort! I would stand in front of your camera again anytime!" (translated from german)

Lea accompanied our civil wedding in April 2023. And we are so happy to have had Lea as our photographer. She managed to capture all the emotions and the special atmosphere - from getting ready, from our first look, to our wedding ceremony - perfectly. We are so in love with the photos. They are exactly how we always imagined our wedding photos to be, but also so much more. They directly reflect the day and the emotions of us as well as our families and friends, they are so incredibly authentic. We can't decide on a favorite photo, every photo is beautiful.

We hardly noticed Lea at the civil ceremony, she managed perfectly to appear "invisible" and still capture hundreds of incredibly beautiful snapshots. During the photos with our families and friends, Lea managed to take all our wishes into account thanks to her professionalism. Even my husband, who is usually rather reluctant to be in front of the camera, felt right at home thanks to Lea's open, lovable and very attentive manner and had fun with our couple photos after the ceremony. In general, all our guests got on so well with Lea, had nice conversations and laughed a lot together.

When the wedding was barely over, Lea already sent us the first pictures. We were immediately in love. We can recommend Lea 100% to everyone! At this point again to you Lea, a huge thank you! (translated from german)

"Dear Lea! It was sooo nice to look through all the pictures. We have already given them all to our guests. I really have to say, we are blown away. You captured so many beautiful moments, of the decorations, individual pictures of the guests, group pictures, of Henning and me. The pictures from the day are so uniquely beautiful! We are so incredibly grateful and feel so lucky that you spent the day by our side. I feel like browsing through the pictures again and again and reminisce about the day with them. We are infinitely happy! THANK YOU!" (translated from german)

"Yesterday was great, everything was perfect. Everyone was full of positive praise for you and your performance 🫶 The photos are gigantic, fantastic, galactically perfect 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💫💫💫💫💥💥💥💥💥 And for a preview, that were quite a lot of pics 🫨🫨🫨🫨 Thank you so much again! We made the absolutely right decision with you. THANK YOU !!!!!!😘😘😘😘"

Service: 5.0⭐ Performance: 5.0⭐ Communication: 5.0⭐ Assignment on site: 5.0⭐ Photo skills: 5.0⭐ Social skills 5.0⭐ Lea: 5.0⭐ Conclusion: Just book her and see for yourself 😎

I was a wedding photographer myself for a long time and with Lea I knew straight from the start that she could surpass my own expectations. And that's exactly what happened! Our wedding guests also said afterwards that they had rarely experienced such a great photographer (both at the registry office wedding and at the free wedding ceremony) (translated from german)

We were more than satisfied with Lea from A to Z! Lea was recommended to us by a friend for our wedding and we couldn't have been any happier. Uncomplicated, friendly, professional and just an absolutely pleasant person - even I, who doesn't like to be photographed, felt super comfortable. All my guests were also more than thrilled. Anyone looking for natural, beautiful pictures and snapshots can count on Lea. Thank you for accompanying us! ☺️ (translated from german)

FAQ

Below you find a FAQ which might answer your questions. If not, please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.

I am happy to answer all your questions and help you out.

Where are you based

I am based in Cologne, Germany but available for bookings worldwide.

Do you travel for weddings abroad?

I love to travel and meet people from far and near, therefore I like shooting a wedding somewhere around the globe as much as I also enjoy capturing a wedding in Germany.

When will we get our photos?

I totally understand the curiosity and the anticipation to get the pictures. Therefore, already 1-2 days after the wedding or shooting you get a selection of highlight photos.

In my contracts I stated that you get the entire selection of pictures latest 8 weeks after your shooting or wedding day, but normally I am much faster than that.

Where do i find your prices?

After filling out my contact formula, I will get back to you as soon as possible with all information and a price guide.

For what can i book a shooting with you?

I love to tell visual stories. Thus, I love to capture a variety of events. You can book me for weddings, engagement and couple pictures, an after-wedding shoot, a maternity shoot with your unique baby belly, newborn images, family portraits or some beautiful pictures of you alone or with friends.

how do i book you?

Just write me a mail via my contact formula and tell me about your wedding or other shoot and I will get back to you as soon as possible. After that we will have a phone or video call, so we get to know us a bit better. In my opinion it is very important to create a trustful and harmonic atmosphere where all of us feel comfortable. Especially for weddings, I love to grab a coffee together to really get to know you, your wishes and expectations and your wedding details some weeks before your special day. I am always happy to assist, answer questions or help you out in whatever form. I like to have a short communication line. You can always text me via e-mail or WhatsApp.

what is your photography style?

My images speak a very emotional and happy language. I enjoy the natural moments as they happen and do not like to stage pictures very much. I take photojournalistic photographs, as undraped and genuine as possible. Of course, I am happy to assist and guide you but I really want to capture your true authentic self and your unique couple dynamic. My colour tone is vibrant, warm and kind of soft and I love to play with natural light and an open aperture to create a beautiful bokeh effect in the background. I like my greens and try to keep my editing style very natural. Overall, I want that my images feel like a hug to you and stay timeless and special to you.

I do not like staged pictures. Do I need a special couple shoot on my wedding?

I also really like natural images. Instead of a longer shoot somewhere around the wedding, we can also create some beautiful couple images during the day in the in-between moments.

How many images do we get?

This really depends on the length of the shooting or wedding, on the number of people attending the wedding, the happening itself and what pictures you like to get.

However, I always send out a gallery with a lot of images carefully selected throughout the entire day. I never count my images but you get as many pictures as I think I need to tell the story of your event including all the beautiful little detail shots, portraits of guests, group and couple pictures, and all the special moments I see happening throughout the day.

How do we get the pictures?

The day after the wedding or shooting, I will send you some highlights via WhatsApp or other communication channel.

The entire gallery entailing the full quality images are uploaded on a password-protected online gallery. You will get the link and password and I am happy to assist creating a QR code with which you can also send out the gallery to your guests in a printed version.
