FAQs – Your Wedding Photography Questions Answered

Contemporary but ageless, fashion-forward yet natural are the terms that best represent my aesthetic. I love my images to have a color representation that is closer to real life but yet has a painterly quality to it.

The term that best describes my approach is “Editorial Wedding Photography”.

Because all events are different, I provide a made-to-measure service in which you may hand-craft your ideal Collection. Please have a look at the inquiry process here.

I accept a very small number of weddings per year (no more than 15). I want to be fully present at every wedding I shoot, and give all my attention to my couples, before, during, and after their wedding.

I travel around the world. Destination and international weddings are my exclusive offering.

My vision is to create art with a net carbon-zero footprint, even though my work requires air travel. In order to offset our air travel carbon emissions, and as of 2022, we participate in various voluntary Carbon Emission Offsetting initiatives, and have managed to offset 80% of our emissions. We’ve also made it a priority to fly using Sustainable Aviation Fuels, and have achieved this goal for 95% of our air travel.

I use medium format film and digital cameras in my work, including the revered GFX system. My team always takes a lot of backup equipment, which is all serviced by expert specialists on a regular basis.

Absolutely. I place a high value on formal family pictures. I photograph families the way I’d like to be photographed at my own children’s weddings one day. A suitable duration of time for family formals is 20-30 minutes (typically immediately following the ceremony).

I will coordinate a questionnaire through which I will collect crucial information, including a list of your most important guests and preferred family portrait groupings. I memorize VIP guests’ names so that I can address them personally. I’ll also be in touch with your planner on a regular basis.

I will always go above and beyond to connect with my couples in a way that puts them at ease. The experience of being photographed is just as important as the quality of the photographs. It’s important to look at a photograph and remember how much fun you were having at the time, and my presence at your wedding is one of generous service to you.

Appropriate attire is a show of respect for both you and your guests, in my opinion. Please let me know if you have particular dress code requirements; otherwise, I and everyone on my team will be dressed formally.

All images are carefully picked, and we normally produce between 50 and 100 photographs for each hour of coverage.

Your gallery of images will be downloadable and in hi-resolution, suitable for printing at any shop.

My mission is to create work that captures your essence as a couple and the beauty of your chosen destination. I’ll assist you with styling, timing, location suggestions, and crafting a plan that perfectly reflects your personality and vision.

I photograph both film and digital, depending on the lighting conditions and how much time we have in my disposal. On your wedding day, I will mostly shoot digital as it allows for lower light captures. It also allows me to work faster. During portraits I have the luxury of time, and I shoot both film and digital. I absolutely love the luminous and raw quality of film, and I strive to achieve its look even when shooting digital. At the same time, I love digital photography for the sophistication it brings with regards to post-processing.

We estimate the appropriate number of photographers based on the requirements of each project. The minimum number of photographers is 2 (myself included). As a rule of thumb, larger productions with multiple elements, and multi-day weddings with cultural traditions require at least 3 photographers. Our team consists of photographers I trained personally myself and can deliver excuisite work at international standards.

You can count on me to collaborate closely with your wedding planner to develop a backup plan.

Absolutely! A significant portion of my mission is dedicated to preparations before the wedding day.
In fact, around 50% of man-hours are dedicated to the stages before the actual wedding day(s). I limit myself to no more than 15 weddings per year, allowing me to offer personalized attention to each couple. You’ll have multiple ways to contact me and enjoy priority access to my calendar, making it easy to schedule as many consultations as needed. Meanwhile, please explore my insightful guides and advice.

One of my important missions is to fully understand your vision and desires, collaborating closely with your planner to integrate these seamlessly into the timeline. One of these protocols is a detailed questionnaire, which serves as an effective tool for gathering essential information.

I am always the lead photographer at every wedding. My artistic vision, values, and professional ethos will be reflected in your special day.

I design Albums myself in a way that best narrates the event and highlights the most complimentary and striking images. You will then have the opportunity to review and make changes accordingly through my online proofing system.

My team is made up by a minimum of two master photographers (Andreas being one of them), to ensure everything is captured professionally and artfully.

Considering a third photographer depends on the complexity and scale of the wedding. As a rule of thumb, I recommend a third photographer for larger events encompassing multiple locations, extensive cultural rituals, and when events span over larger venues. In general, we may encourage adding a third photographer for 200+ Guests, while for over 300 Guests a third photographer is almost essential.

I generally prefer working with a smaller, tightly-knit, highly trained and efficient team. All the photographers in my team are trusted and trained personally by myself to ensure professionalism and style consistency.
