Last sunday Stefanie & Lars came to shoot their e-session. Their wedding will be in September. I have never worked with a more relaxed and happy couple. They brought the nicest weather with them and were so sweet together.

The reason why I m blogging this is that they used one of MY stock photos here. This is the most individual birthday gift I have ever received from a big company :-))))

Woody Allen quoting Groucho Marx

I always loved this quote, but well… no rule without an excemption, right? I am so proud to announce that I am an official member of the “Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association [AG]WPJA“.

“The Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association [AG]WPJA is a group of international wedding photojournalists, who capture unscripted wedding moments as they happen, and excel in the art of post-production image processing. The [AG]WPJA is a division within the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA); one which specifically promotes Fine Art Wedding Photojournalism.”

I am very excited about this honour. Wedding photojournalism is so very different from stock. Do not get me wrong; I love being a stock shooter, but weddings are so different. People trust you to capture the emotions and details on this very special day. They share emotional and private moments with you. And I have no words to describe the feeling when the couple comes to my house to see the album I have designed for them.

I hope I will shoot more weddings in the future. Wedding website: http://www.deine-hochzeitsreportage.com (only in German)
