Discover honest Hamburg wedding photography that tells your true stories
Are you planning your wedding in and around Hamburg and looking for a local, Hamburg based wedding photographer? Someone who will capture more than just your pictures? Someone who will go beyond the usual clichés and capture your story as authentically and deeply as it is? Well, hello there!
I'm Chris, a finalist for New York's RangerFinder Magazine's Rising Star of Wedding Photography Award and the 2023 International Wedding Photographer of the Year Award. But most of all, I'm a big nerd at heart, love the north in all its eternity and have endless sympathy for people who go their own way without pretending. Born in Hamburg, I feel at home on the Elbe and have been offering my services as a wedding photographer in Hamburg and beyond for over a decade.
“Chris is not an off-the-peg photographer! We spent a long time looking for a photographer for our wedding. Unfortunately, we kept getting the same 'boring' standard pictures. Chris' website was the first time I realised he saw more than just a photo. He was always available during our planning, giving us tips and familiarising himself with the location. From the preparation, to the ceremony, to the beach party, to the evening location, Chris was always there, but never overly present! Very, very pleasant!”
- Nadine & Hilko
Anchored in Hamburg. At home in the world.
My wedding photography is characterised by a style that is timeless and transcends trends. Influenced by the light of the north, the coast, the marshes and the winding corners of Hamburg, I capture every emotion, every detail and all the unwritten stories between the lines. As your local Hamburg wedding photographer, I will be your companion and observer, capturing the authentic moments and raw beauty between you.
In the exciting dynamics of your big day, I am not only your Hamburg wedding photographer, but also your calming influence. Introverted at heart, I find strength in silence, from which I intuitively perceive the energetic preferences of my couples. This sensitivity allows me to create an atmosphere at your wedding in Hamburg in which you can be completely relaxed and genuine - free from any pressure to stage yourself.
Your wedding photographer in Hamburg for elopements, intimate weddings and more
My couples invest in their wedding photography because they are not just looking for simple images, they want a profound reflection of their unique union, a representation of the stillness and intimacy they cherish in their life together. They want a documentation of their equal relationship, captured in images that honour the raw, honest nature of each moment. They prefer someone who understands the beauty of imperfection and captures the ephemeral - the windswept hair, the raindropped faces - in a way that reflects their appreciation of solitude, nature and the small but meaningful company of close friends. They appreciate the quality and understated luxury of my service, which goes far beyond the visible. On the coast, in the woods or under the overcast skies of Hamburg, I find beauty in moments that others might consider imperfect. For me, bad weather is not a limitation, but an invitation to capture love in its most diverse forms.
The couples who come to me are often like me: introverted, open-minded and looking for a meeting at eye level. They plan their wedding as an intimate celebration, where quality takes precedence over quantity and genuine relationships are the focus. They are not interested in staging the 'best day of their lives', but in celebrating an honest expression of their journey together.
If you recognise yourself in these words and are looking for a local wedding photographer Hamburg who can capture the quiet intensity and unconventional beauty of your love, then I look forward to being part of your story. Let's create memories together that will stand the test of time.
Why Hamburg is the perfect destination for your wedding
Hamburg, Germany's second largest city and the Pearl of the North, Hamburg is a vibrant metropolis that effortlessly blends modernity with a rich history. Situated on the banks of the River Elbe, Hamburg's maritime spirit can be felt throughout the city, from the bustling harbour to the picturesque waterfront promenade. With its unique blend of modern architecture and historic backdrop, this city offers a diverse stage for your special day.
Vibrant and timeless, the gateway to the world reflects the diversity and depth that I, as a Hamburg wedding photographer, seek and capture in my images. From the graffiti of St. Pauli to the Alster promenade and Elbe beach, from the historic buildings of Speicherstadt to the modernity of Hafencity, every corner of Hamburg offers a mix of old charm and modern design, of tradition and modernity. A unique setting for your story.
Love for the harbour
Whatever your personal preferences, you will find a place to celebrate your love and relationship in and around Hamburg. For example, the rugged, industrial charm of Hamburg Harbour, with its ships and cranes, is not only a symbol of Hamburg, but also of departure and adventure, providing many newlyweds with a breathtaking backdrop for their wedding photographs. Here, where sailors once brought their stories from distant lands, as a Hamburg wedding photographer I capture yours - honest and genuine, full of your love, closeness and shared vision of the future.
In touch with nature
For those who appreciate seclusion and nature, the beautiful forests, meadows and heathlands around Hamburg, along with the countless parks and hidden corners along the Elbe, offer the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Surrounded by dunes, heather and Nordic forests, there are many quiet and perfect places to say "I do" in peace and quiet. Even in bad weather, these landscapes reveal a dramatic, almost mystical beauty that I will capture in your pictures forever.
For introverted souls and quiet moments, Hamburg offers an endless supply of inspiration and stories as individual and profound as love itself.
If you would like to capture your own unique love story in Hamburg or beyond, as a Hamburg wedding photographer I am ready to embark on this journey with you. Let's explore the hidden gems of this city together and capture the unforgettable moments of your big day for eternity.
