Hi, i am Lars My photographic roots are in beauty and fashion photography. But my heart has always been in storytelling wedding photography. I love those special moments and the feelings between bride and groom. I do not just shoot a wedding - I try to capture creative and meaningful wedding photos that bring bridal couples back to their emotions of their wedding day, even years later. I do not just photographically determine what it looks like, but what it feels like. Cologne in Germany is my home base, but I'm traveling all over the world to tell wedding stories. I would like to be with you and be your wedding photographer wherever you choose to celebrate your celebration!
When different cultures meet, there are also different customs and traditions. Like here with the Danes: When the guests start to trample their feet, the bride and groom first have to climb on chairs and kiss and then crawl under the table and kiss again. Of course, a wonderful photo motif.
In the high mountains of Kohcalled Overlap Stone. A bridge leads to this stone and takes a good portion of courage to go to this platform as a bride with the appropriate dress. Around the stone it goes frighteningly steep downhill. Special locations often result in special pictures.
Again and again I am allowed to shoot wedding couples around the world. This year I was able to accompany two couples in Thailand - one in Chiang Rai, where this photo was taken. Without wanting to advertise; the bridal couple shooting took place in a wonderful park. If you like to drink Thai beer, you will know very quickly where this photo was taken.
Another photo taken in Thailand during a wedding. This time on the island of Koh Samui. Meanwhile, I accompany quite a lot of weddings of European couples abroad, which is not much more expensive than when I accompany a wedding in Europe. My passion for special places is often reward enough.
To this photo you could say: "no matter how bad everything around you may be, we go a common way."
At least for me as a wedding photographer, there is hardly anything more beautiful than the contrast between a graceful bride and a rugged location.
What a look - and what a joy in the face of the bride's father. These moments make you forget for a brief moment that so much is going wrong in the world – it's just about that tiny moment.
When generations meet, it is always a special moment. I don't think so much of the bride - but much more of the grandma. What has this woman already experienced in her life? A lot of suffering like a world war for example, and now she stands there holding her granddaughter in her arms and is just happy.
Men are usually the cool ones when it comes to emotions. I find that it is much stronger when you can show your feelings freely.
A shoot doesn't always have to be serious. Just have some fun and enjoy the day. And I can say that it went on so fun until late at night.
