    Yes, I have extensive experience with weddings of all sizes, from small to large celebrations with up to 900 guests.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    What is included in the package price?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    My packages include pre-consultations, photography on the wedding day, image editing, and an online gallery.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  7. \n

    Are the photos edited?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Yes, I edit all photos, focusing on a natural look. I do not use external filters but enhance the images to look authentic and real. I only do skin retouching on portraits of the bridal couple if necessary to underline natural beauty.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  8. \n

    How long does post-processing take?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Editing all photos usually takes about 2 months. However, you will receive the first 10 images within 7 days after the wedding so you don’t have to wait too long.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  9. \n

    Do you have a contract?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Yes, I work with detailed contracts to clearly regulate all details.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  10. \n

    How flexible are you with the schedule?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    I am flexible and adapt to the schedule of the wedding day.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  11. \n

    How many images will we receive?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The number of images varies depending on the package, typically between 300 and 700.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  12. \n

    Do you also offer wedding albums or books?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Yes, I offer high-quality wedding albums and books<\/a> that are a beautiful memory of your big day.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  13. \n

    Should we create a list of must-have shots?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A special list of must-have shots is usually not necessary, as I intuitively capture key moments and important details due to my long experience.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  14. \n

    How do you deal with difficult lighting conditions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    I prefer natural light and rarely use flashes. However, in difficult lighting situations, I use flashes and lamps to ensure the quality of the images.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  15. \n

    What sets you apart from other wedding photographers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    My approach is different by focusing on capturing authentic and unposed moments. I strive to capture the true emotions and atmosphere of your special day, which I achieve thanks to my extensive experience and a keen eye for details. For a deeper insight into my work and philosophy, I recommend reading more on the \u201cAbout Me<\/a>\u201d page.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  16. \n

    How long should I plan for the bridal couple shoot?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Normally, I recommend 1-2 hours for the bridal couple shoot to make a variety of relaxed and natural shots. However, since I specialize in reportage, sometimes I only have 15 minutes for the couple shoot. It really depends on how much value you place on these photos and what your schedule looks like. I am flexible and ensure that we get beautiful images even in a shorter time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  17. \n

    Do you work with assistants or second photographers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    No, I work alone. This allows me to fully concentrate on photographic reporting and create a personal and undisturbed experience for the bridal couple.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  18. \n

    How do you deal with guests who also take photos?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    I am used to dealing with guests who take photos. I focus on making professional and unobtrusive photos while giving guests their space.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  19. \n

    Do you have experience with different cultural or religious wedding ceremonies?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Yes, I have experience with a variety of cultural and religious wedding ceremonies and respect the special traditions and customs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  20. \n

    Can we use the photos for personal purposes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Yes, you get the rights to use the photos for personal purposes, to share and print.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  21. \n

    Do you also offer engagement shoots?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Yes, I offer engagement shoots. They are a great way to get to know each other in front of the camera and create beautiful memories before the wedding.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  24. \n

    How long do you usually stay at a wedding?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The duration of my presence at a wedding depends on the booked package. Typically, I accompany the bridal couple from getting ready to cutting the cake or the first dance to tell the best story of the day. Often I am also booked for the registry office or a get-together the day before to capture these special moments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  28. \n

    How early should we book you for our wedding?<\/strong><\/p>\n
