Wedding | Berlin | Germany: Tahar & Laura

Shots from the wedding of the lovely Tahar & Laura. The day started with a ceremony at the Rathaus Schönberg, followed by portraits in der Nahe von graffiti and down by the river, before the reception at the Spreespeicher, also riverside.

It's always a privilege (and a lot of fun) to photograph a wedding, and Tahar and Laura's celebration was no different in that respect. But - and I think if I understood him correctly the father of the bride touched on this in his speech - because of who they are, because of the diverse mix of cultures present at their wedding (German, Turkish, Tunisian, French, Austrian, Egyptian, to name a few), and because of what has been happening this year at Europe's borders, their wedding felt special in another way too. 

As they and their families have big, open hearts, I think I can say that their wedding felt like not only a celebration of love, but also of a wider embrace, inclusiveness and diversity, and that was a fine thing to be a part of.

Wedding | Berlin | Germany: Gard & Bitte

These shots are from an intimate ceremony at the Nordic Embassy in Berlin, and locations nearby. Gard, from Norway, and Bitte, from Sweden, popped over to Berlin for a few days to marry (and shop for vinyl) before heading back to Oslo for a weekend party for friends and family.

It was a fun shoot and I wish them both health, happiness, and good tunes for their future together!

Wedding | Bernau | Germany: Elliot & Simone

At the end of August I photographed the wedding of Elliot and Simone, a lovely couple from Canada and Deutschland. The ceremony was at the Rathaus Bernau, and the reception was at the Villa Biesenthal, a modern building with an old, stucco facade.

It was grand, and a privilege to be there to document their special day for them among their friends and family.

Wedding | Berlin | Europe: Oliver & Samantha

These shots are from Oliver & Samantha's intimate autumn wedding in Berlin with close friends and family from Germany and Brazil. After their morning ceremony and lunch I took them for a portrait session in the Englischer Garten, in the Tiergarten, and the sun did shine on us.

Many thanks to both of them and their loved ones for making the day such fun, and thanks also to Dorothy Roffat for helping me out with hair and make-up services at short notice.

Wedding | Belgium | Europe: Poppy & Joris

In June I photographed Poppy and Joris' wedding ceremony in Oud-Turnhout, Belgium. They're a lovely, fun-loving couple, and the night before the wedding, they took me out to dinner and introduced me to some fine Belgian beers.

Here are a few shots from their special day:

Wedding Photographer in Berlin

Finally, after quite a bit of tinkering, my new wedding photography website is up and running. So now I have a site for editorial/travel/commercial work, and a separate one that's purely for weddings and engagements.
