Bridal couple shoot - timeless & authentic wedding photos

Why a bridal couple shoot should be an integral part of every wedding

The Bridal couple shooting is one of the most emotional and important moments of a wedding reportage. It is an opportunity for the couple to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the celebration for a few minutes and be completely to themselves. During the shoot, intimate, authentic and unforgettable photos are taken that perfectly reflect your love.

Many couples are initially unsure whether they need to pose for the camera - but that's not necessary. A successful bridal couple shoot thrives on natural moments, genuine emotions and a relaxed atmosphere. As an experienced wedding photographer, I make sure that you feel comfortable and that your pictures convey exactly the emotions that characterise this special day.

When does the bridal couple shoot take place?

A bridal couple shoot can be flexibly integrated into the daily schedule of your wedding. There are various possibilities:

▶ Before the wedding ceremony - First Look Shooting: You see each other for the first time in your wedding clothes without your guests being present. This private moment is full of emotion and is perfect for expressive pictures.

▶ After the wedding ceremony: Immediately after saying "I do", when the initial tension has subsided and you are still full of emotion, you can capture particularly natural images.

▶ During the Golden Hour: The time just before sunset offers the softest and most beautiful light for romantic wedding photos.

▶ After the wedding - after-wedding shoot: If you don't want to worry about schedules on the wedding day, a shoot on another day is a good option. This way, you can choose your favourite location with complete peace of mind.

Tip: Particularly atmospheric shots are taken in the evening sun. The soft, golden light gives the pictures a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
