Wedding photographer in Essen

Getting married in Essen? We accompany your wedding as photographers from neighbouring Bochum – from the registry office to the celebration, from an intimate setting to full-day coverage. Travel costs nothing for you, as everywhere in NRW.

No travel costs to Essen

From our studio in downtown Bochum it is only about 20 to 25 minutes to Essen. For you that means short distances for getting to know each other and for the pre-wedding shoot, and on your wedding day we arrive relaxed and on time.

Your wedding ceremony in Essen

Whether a registry office ceremony with close family or a big celebration with all your guests: we photograph discreetly and capture the moments that cannot be repeated – the exchange of rings, the signature, the first congratulations. Every wedding room has its own rules about where photography is allowed; we agree these with you beforehand.

Lovely places for your couple portraits

Essen has many lovely backdrops for couple portraits – for example at Lake Baldeney, in the Grugapark or against the industrial backdrop of Zollverein. Whether and under which conditions photography is allowed at a location, we clarify with you beforehand. Often the loveliest spot is right at your venue anyway.
