Hello, I am Andreas. I am a photographer who works with couples who want to preserve the memorable & ephemeral moments of their wedding through intimate, candid, and relaxed photographs.
GET TO KNOW
I enjoy photographing weddings because…a wedding is like a play. It’s set up, the actors are in place, the stage is set. That part makes it easy. Yet at any given moment, something personal and unique happens, making that wedding completely different. The random events that happen throughout the day keep me on my toes and keep the creativity juices flowing.
My 20 years of photographing weddings has taught me that… life is a long marathon of experiences, and that the wedding day is just one of many important days in our lives. “Stuff” is nice, but the time we spend with our family and friends during that six or ten hour day can’t ever be replaced. The wedding day is likely the only time in your life that all those people will be there together to celebrate your relationship together.
The nicest thing people tell me at a wedding…”How long have you been friends with the bride?” Almost every week I get asked how long I’ve known the couple - the reality is that I often only speak with my clients on the phone, and meet them for the first time at the rehearsal or on the wedding day.
A Wedding is… just one day. It’s important. But it’s just one day of many in your life together. Plan it, make it what you want, and then let it happen how it happens. Enjoy it. Don’t stress over it. Trust the people you’ve hired to be a part of the day to do their best, and spend the day focusing on what is most important to you.
The nicest wedding you’ve ever photographed was…the last one. While there have been weddings that were truly incredible (like the one with earth wind and fire playing during dinner), each one has its own elements that make them special.
The influence of being married and a father of three children on your work is…Over time as my daughters and son grew up, I began to react and pay attention to things that I didn’t really notice before being a father. Now, as our kids are teenagers, and in some cases I am closer to age than the parents than the couple getting married, I find that I now see the wedding from both perspectives and that informs the way I document the wedding day.
