poetic Wedding Photography with an Editorial Touch
I’m drawn to what happens between the posed moments.
Working in unfamiliar places has taught me to slow down and to observe. To see you and the people who matter most to you. Documentary at heart. I love to travel across Europe for weddings, most at home in places that feel like they belong to another era like the hills of Tuscany and the coastlines of Greece.
I shoot digital, on film and Super 8. Every story is different. The approach is always the same: create something made to last.

Michaela
For ten years I've been photographing weddings, and what pulls me in has stayed the same: the quiet things that happen between people.
My work is to keep the day feeling like yours, so you're living it rather than performing it. I'm not after the perfect pose. I'm after the touch & the laugh that says more than any arrangement could.
What I want to leave you with is simple: images you'll keep coming back to.
FAQ
We feel a bit awkward in front of the camera. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Most of my couples feel this way. You don’t need to know how to pose or act. I create an atmosphere where you can simply be yourselves, and everything else follows naturally.
How far in advance should we book you?
Most couples secure their date 9–18 months in advance, especially for peak season weekends. As I only take on a limited number of weddings per year, I recommend reaching out as soon as your date and venue are confirmed.
What is included in a wedding reportage?
Every wedding reportage includes my full presence on the day, careful curation and editing of the images, and a private online gallery to share and download your photographs. Alongside digital photography, I also work with analog film and Super 8. These formats add depth, texture and a timeless quality. Film and Super 8 can be added to your coverage if you wish.
Do you photography multi-day celebrations?
Absolutely. Pre-wedding events, welcome dinners, and day-after gatherings are a beautiful way to tell a fuller story and can be included in your coverage.
When will we receive our photos?
You can expect your full gallery within 8 weeks. A small preview is shared earlier. Your analog images and super 8 film will take a little longer to be ready.
How do you work?
With over ten years of experience and more than 120 weddings photographed, I know how a wedding day unfolds. I know that things don’t always go according to plan, and that’s where experience makes a difference. It gives me the calm to stay present and focused, even when the day gets hectic, and to quietly anticipate what might happen next.

„Michaela accompanied us at our dream wedding in Italy. She traveled to Tuscany for us and went far beyond what we could have hoped for — joining us at our white party the night before, capturing the getting ready, and creating some beautifully bold photos for my husband.
We are incredibly excited to see our wedding images and deeply grateful for every moment and all the time she dedicated to us. We couldn’t have imagined anyone better to accompany us during these days.“– amelie & Yannik

„Dear Michaela, I’ve already told you this in person, but I want all the future couples and families who will one day stand in front of your lens to know it as well: I am an absolute fan.
You are a truly warm and caring person, and you accompanied us on our wedding day with so much sensitivity and ease. Your photographs are something very special — perfect for anyone who wants more than the ordinary.
This certainly won’t have been our last time being photographed by you.“
