Romantic wedding at Gut Rehbach in Haßloch near Karlsruhe – a loving couple shares an intimate moment.

ALEX & LARISSA

Words can't express how grateful we are for Michi's fantastic work! His reference images already gave us an idea that he was a very talented photographer, but on our wedding day, he even exceeded our expectations.

He accompanied our special day with his friendly, relaxed manner, both professional and warm. He managed to capture all the special moments authentically and genuinely without ever being intrusive. With an exceptionally keen eye for detail, he captured all the important moments for us and our guests. All the pictures turned out beautifully and convey the love and joy of the entire day. The images are so beautifully edited that we can relive our special day at any time.

Working with Michi never felt like work! We quickly developed a trusting relationship, and we had a lot of fun having him with us on our day.

We highly recommend him to any couple! If you're looking for a photographer who will document such an important event with heart and passion, Michi is the perfect choice.

We had the incredible pleasure of working with Michi as our photographer during our trip to Puglia, Italy, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! From the moment he arrived from Germany, it was clear that Michi is not just a talented photographer but also a wonderful person to be around.

Over the course of three days, he captured our love story in the most breathtaking way, making every moment feel special and authentic. His professionalism was evident in every interaction, and his passion for his craft shone through in every stunning photograph.

In fact, our wedding guests were so impressed with Michi's work that many of them asked for his contact information for their own upcoming weddings! It's no surprise that we would rate him a six out of five stars if we could. If you're looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond while creating lasting memories, Michi is your guy! Thank you, Michi, for making our time in Puglia truly unforgettable!

Hey Michi, thank you so much for the wonderful memories from our wedding. You were barely noticeable at the wedding, and everyone was so impressed by you and your personality. I don't even need to start on the after-wedding photos. A dream! Thank you!

ADVENTURE

 

All of this becomes real again for a brief moment when you look at the picture. What once faded becomes a vivid memory that touches you again and again. It would be a pleasure to capture these precious moments for you and make them a part of your story. Let's bring unforgettable memories back to life together.

Nice to have you here.

Feel free to take a look around. Here I'll show you some of my passion and hope I can inspire you a little – capturing unforgettable moments and the emotions associated with them in a picture. Because many memories fade over time, but the power of an image can bring these moments back to life again and again. What did you feel, smell, or sense at that moment?

MY MISSION

Emotional and vivid: It's the small details that carry big feelings. I capture the moments when you're not aware that you're carrying the greatest happiness within you. An unconscious glance, a smile that says it all.

Every moment counts: It's not just the big moments that make a day unforgettable. It's also the quiet, almost unnoticed moments that last forever. I capture them for you so you can relive these moments again and again.

Your wedding is a day full of unique moments – and that’s exactly what I want to capture for you.

What you can expect from me:

Real, unposed images: I want you to feel comfortable in every moment. Not in front of the camera, but in the moment. My photos tell your story, naturally and authentically.

You are the focus: Your naturalness makes the pictures special. Be yourself.
