Resi & Moritz: wedding reportage in Freiburg and Alsace

Resi and Moritz got married at Freiburg town hall and then carried on celebrating in Alsace. I was with them for the ceremony, the hugs and hellos afterwards and the weekend together. Flower crowns, warm colours and lots of little moments in between, right up to the walk in the woods near Munster.

Civil wedding at Freiburg town hall

At the end of September 2026 I photographed Resi and Moritz’s wedding. It started at the town hall in Freiburg with the civil ceremony. The warm wood of the room, the light from the windows and the flower crowns set the mood of the pictures from the very first shots.

During the ceremony I’m just as interested in the glances and the hands as in the big moment. I keep a little distance with the telephoto lens so the two of them can stay in their own world. The bouquet and the rings get their place without anything having to stop for it.

Hugs and hellos after the ceremony

After the ceremony things loosen up: hugs, conversations and the sparkling wine reception in front of the town hall. Later everyone moved on to the Jos Fritz in Freiburg. I love photographing transitions like these, because the tension eases and the ceremony turns into a day spent together.

The edges are part of what’s going on, too. A dog lies among the scattered petals on the cobbles while the celebrations carry on all around. Quiet pictures like these give a reportage room to breathe and tell you something that never shows up in a group photo.

A wedding weekend in Alsace

After Freiburg the celebrations continued in Munster in Alsace, with evenings together and a walk in the forest. So in this series the wedding doesn’t end at the town hall door. It stays a weekend in which people spend time with one another.

The warm colour pictures alternate with black and white ones. On the walk at the end, what matters most is the light between the trees and how close the people are. I show them from behind, mid-stride on their way, rather than stopping them one more time for a final portrait.

Photographer in Heidelberg

I photograph weddings, couples, families, babies, medical practices, property and theatre, in Heidelberg and the Rhine-Neckar region. Warm, close and observational rather than posed: with me, people can simply be themselves. Most of the time I work with the light that’s there and with a telephoto lens from a bit of a distance, so people soon forget the camera. And the little things at the edges have their place too.

As a wedding photographer, I follow you through the day reportage-style, from getting ready through the ceremony to the celebration. So far that’s taken me to Heidelberg Town Hall after a stroll through the old town, to the Chapel in Südstadt, to Schloss Neuhaus near Sinsheim and to a barbecue hut in the Taunus, for my best friend’s wedding.

I like photographing families best outdoors in Heidelberg, or at your home if that suits better, while you play rather than sit still. And couples on a walk through the old town, along the Neckar or in the woods. Babies I visit at home, from newborn to first birthday.

For medical practices, I take photos for their website that show what it actually looks like there, as I did for the Born & Winter paediatric cardiology practice in Heidelberg. With property, I’m all about bright rooms and straight lines, for example in a detached house in Pfaffengrund. And for the Wildfang theatre company in Eppelheim, I photographed scenes and group shots two days before opening night, using only the stage lighting.

Then there are my personal series, shot with the small camera in film-like colours, sometimes in black and white too: a trip up the Neckar with the Weiße Flotte and a few August days by the North Sea in Cadzand.
