Love is Love - Engagement Shoot

in , , , ,

Come away with me and we’ll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I’ll never stop loving you

These two travelled all the way from Vienna for their engagement shoot. We decided on nature, forest, colourful leaves and romantic lake for the shoot. The perfect setting for two people so deeply in love. And boy did we have fun too.
I wish I could be a little mouse to watch their wedding this October.
It will be unique, incredibly stylish and full of emotion and wonderful people I am sure.

Andreas  & Adrian – it was such an honour that you chose me to capture your love.
I am proud and grateful and humbled.
May your love never stop growing.

Scottish Highlands Wedding

in , , ,

"My love is like a red, red rose that’s newly sprung in June
My love is like the melody that’s sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, so deep in love am I..."

When my dear friend and very talented colleague Ann-Kathrin Koch asked me to be her second shooter and assistant at a wedding set in Aberdeenshire - on the edge of the Scottish Highlands I dropped everything to be able to join her.
Victoria & Mark had the perfect wedding day. Full of deep, honest love, amazing family and friends. So many tears of joy, so much laughter. I am not even going to start on the dress, the veil, the FLOWERS, the decorations, the breathtaking location... look for yourself.
It was heartbreaking to leave when the party started actually.
They made me feel incredibly welcome and I will never ever forget them.
Thank you so much Ann for your trust in me and for the great time we had in our little highland cottage. Thank you so much Victoria and Mark for introducing me to the world of men in kilts and whiskey and British weddings and for your warm, kind, fun personalities.
Stay this happy forever xxx
The day I return to Scotland I'll drink a dram in your honour.

Beauty Portraiture

in , , ,

"Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself." Coco Chanel
 

I am deeply honoured that Zuzanna of Hajs-ajs asked me to take her portraits. What was supposed to be business portraiture turned into beauty photography of the finest. Because she simply decided to bare her soul to me and let me do my thing. And these are some results of 1 hour in crazy heat and outfit changes in a busy town neighbourhood :-)

If you ever need a stylist and make-up and hair artist - she is the one to go too! Trust me!

Many thanks to my trusted lab Carmencita for taking such great care of my film and knowing exactly what my vision was.
All images shot on Kodak Professional Film and Ilford Film on my trusted beloved Mamiya :-)

 

Bohemia Gathering Vol. 1 - Vichy - France

"Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you, even when you don’t see it yourself.” Edmund Lee

April 9-12 2015 - the days where a dream became reality and magic happened.
Isabelle of 2Brides and me, Siegrid Cain had a joint vision for a gathering designed for female film photographers. Women that are likeminded, women who have passion, and dreams. Women who want to grow as persons, not just come home from a workshop with many pretty pictures but with a heart and head full of inspiration, self-love, kindness and knowledge and most of all with new friends alongside them who share all these trades.
Our Location - the beautiful B&B Aux Jardins des Thevenets literally fell into our field of vision out of nowhere. Because it simply was meant to be. We followed our gut-feeling from the get-go. Lynn and Olivier were so perfectly matched to all of us and our lifestyle, they became a part of Bohemia that we never want to miss.
And of course Lynn's cooking skills topped all our wildest dreams. A French food heaven.
Our girls - oh our girls... unfortunately one of the group could not join us in the end. But the 9 girls from all over Europe that we chose as our first attendees will be in my heart forever. Every single one so unique and special - we shared, we cried, we laughed (lots) and we photographed...
This is possibly my greatest treasure - that all these women - who did not know each other beforehand - managed to accept and love and find each other.
All because we share this one big love for photography.
Isabelle my dear friend - it's an adventure that I hope we will keep up for many years to come. To help us grow just like the women who join us along the way.
In a way it feels like we have become our own little Bohemia family.

A very deep thank you goes to Jonathan Canlas, most inspirational film shooter of our times to me, and creator of FIND. Because it's FIND that was a life-changer for me and it's where Isabelle and me met and where we started to grow and dream.

All images shot by me - except the one of me - that was shot by the massively talented Isabelle
developed and scanned by the awesome CarmencitaFilmLab in Valencia

We are currently planning the next Bohemia Gatherings in Autumn and Spring. If you would like to find out more please shoot as an email: bohemiagathering@gmail.com

Kapuzinerhof Laufen

in , , ,
Mit dem guten Geschmack ist es ganz einfach:
Man nehme von allem nur das Beste. Oscar Wilde

Der Kapuinerhof Laufen hat mich letztes Jahr eingeladen, das wundervolle Ambiente und Eindrücke der leckeren Küche einzufangen. Es war und ist mir eine Ehre. Nicht nur weil ich schon einige Hochzeiten begleiten durfte, die im Kapuzinerhof ganz besonders fein gefeiert haben.
Sondern auch, weil ich persönlich unheimlich gerne dort zu Gast bin - ob privat mit meiner Familie und Freunden oder geschäftlich um Klienten zu treffen.
Zu jeder Tageszeit ist es ein Genuss im Garten zu verweilen oder in einem der gemütlichen, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichteten Gasträume ein bisschen Zeit zu verbringen. Es ist jedes mal ein bisschen wie Urlaub und man möchte gar nicht mehr weg.
Das vielseitige Angebot an Gaumenfreuden ist unvergleichbar - auch für Vegetarier ein absoluter Hochgenuss.
Und gekrönt wird das Erlebnis noch von professionellem, freundlichen Personal und der unheimlich liebenswerten Gastgeberin Sina Fingerhut.
