YOUR STORY
That’s How We Capture Your Love Story.
Love rarely needs big gestures to be seen. It's the hand that reaches for yours without thinking. The pause before you say yes. The particular quiet of a Sunday morning once there are three of you instead of two. I'm waiting for what was already there. This was never only about the pictures. It's about being able to come back to exactly how it felt, years from now.
Together, we'll hold onto the moments you'd otherwise forget to notice.

THE BOOKING PROCESS
001.
REACH OUT
Start with my contact form. Tell me who you are, what you're picturing, what this moment means to you. It doesn't need to be a plan yet. Sometimes it's just a feeling, and that's plenty to begin with.
002.
LET’S CHAT
I'll come back to you with my pricing guide, and if it feels right, we'll get on a call - video or phone, whichever feels easier. We talk through your ideas, answer whatever's on your mind, and get a first real sense of each other.
003.
SETTING THE DATE
Once it feels right, a signed contract and a deposit will secure your spot. From there, it's simple: Your day belongs to you, and I'm just lucky enough to be there for it.
004.
PUTTING OUR HEADS TOGETHER
From there, we keep the conversation going. Starting with a videocall and continuing through voice notes, messages, a Pinterest board we build together. Locations, timeline, vendors I vouch for if you need them. All of it shaped around one thing: making sure it still feels like you, right up until the day.
005.
YOUR DAY
Whether it's a few hours or an entire day, I lead you through it gently. A small prompt here, a quiet suggestion there, never a pose held too long. Consider me your very best third wheel: there the whole time, quietly steering, and somehow still the one nobody notices. Until you look back and realize that's exactly how it felt.
006.
PREVIEW, PAYMENT + GALLERY
Shortly after your wedding, I'll send a handful of previews your way. Something to hold onto while the day is still fresh. The remaining balance is due once we're done shooting. Then, within 3-4 weeks for sessions or 5-7 weeks for weddings, your full gallery arrives: hand-edited, ready to download, share, and hold onto.
BEHIND THE LENS
Hi, I’m Nadine!
It started with sunlight through a curtain, and a laugh caught a second before it happened. The kind of moment nobody thinks to hold onto until it's already gone.
I picked up a camera to keep it a little longer. I never really put it back down.
That's still what I'm looking for in every session: the moment you forget I'm even there, and just become the two of you again. It is neither posed nor performed. Just real enough that you'll want to come back to it, years from now.

Liebe Nadine, die Fotos sind unglaublich schön geworden! Ich kann gar nicht beschreiben wie sehr sie mir gefallen!

the most powerful moments are the softest ones:
the hand that reaches for yours, the smile only the two of you understand,
a closeness that doesn't need words.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Not at all. Most of the couples I photograph have never done this before. We build the session around something small you'd do together anyway: a walk, coffee or ice cream along the way, an afternoon at a vineyard, a picnic, a glass of wine as the light turns gold. I start with a few small prompts and questions, and by the second or third one, the nervousness has usually quietly worn off. I work with a documentary approach — waiting for the moments in between, rather than asking you to pose — so what you get back is the two of you, not two people performing for a camera.
-
For couple sessions, wear whatever makes you forget about it within the first five minutes. Don’t forget: Comfort always comes first.
If you'd like to coordinate as a couple, think neutral, earthy and warm: cream, warm brown, soft green, a hint of dusty blue. In winter, that leans into richer creams and browns - beautiful against bare trees or snow.
In summer, the same palette just softens: think linen, sage, a washed-out blue. A scarf, a soft jacket, a little texture - that's where the depth comes from, not from patterns or logos, which tend to pull the eye away from each other rather than toward it.
And you won't have to figure any of this out alone: every booking comes with my Outfit & Posing Guide, full of real examples and small ideas to make getting dressed the easiest part of your day.
-
Sooner tends to work in your favor. For sessions, elopements and weddings alike, I usually recommend reaching out three to twelve months ahead - enough time for the right season, the right light, a date that actually fits your life.
That said, things don't always come together that neatly. If your timeline is tighter, reach out anyway. Some of the loveliest sessions I've shot came together with barely any notice at all.
-
Wherever the story breathes best - your home, a quiet outdoor space, somewhere meaningful. Guidance on location is always part of the process.
-
Yes. Objects or clothing that hold meaning can deepen the visual language. We’ll shape the mood together. For example sunglasses, your favorite book, hats, your guitar, etc.
-
Sharing the stories I get to tell is one of the quiet joys of this work - on the website and/or Instagram.
It's often how the next couple finds their way to me, the way you probably found your way to this page. But it's never assumed.
I'll always ask first, gently, before anything goes anywhere. And if you'd rather keep it just yours - your closeness, not for anyone else's scrolling. That's exactly how it stays. Some moments are meant to be held close, not shared.
-
No. Every image is hand-finished to match the tone and intention of the session. Unedited files are not part of the delivery – the edit is part of the vision.
-
All private sessions include private usage rights – for personal use only (sharing, printing, remembering).
Personal Branding sessions include professional usage rights – for use across websites, social media and brand communication.
If broader commercial licensing is needed, this can be arranged simply and transparently. Please let me know during the booking process so we can plan accordingly.
