Your relationship is unique and deserves to be captured! Whether you’re newly in love, engaged or in between, treat yourselves to a couple photo shoot in Munich and show your connection in authentic couple photos!
I recently had a wonderful couple photo shoot in Munich with Lisa and Tom. They were celebrating their anniversary and wanted to capture this special day in photographs. On the phone, they told me about their shared passion for hiking and that they had met at Riemer See. Our couple shoot was to take place there.
Every couple photo shoot starts with a relaxed phone call. I like to take the time to get to know you and talk about your wishes, ideas and expectations. What connects you? Which places have a special meaning for your relationship? Do you prefer a romantic setting at sunset during the golden hour or in the middle of the city during the day? These questions help me to design your couple shoot in Munich with you. Whether you want a romantic outdoor couple shoot with a boho look in Munich, a shoot at your favorite location or simply reserved couple photos in nature: together we will plan a shoot that suits you.
Lisa and Tom quickly realized that we would meet at Riemer See in the early evening, as soon as the daylight became soft and warm. They brought several outfits with them, different colored dresses from tight-fitting to flowing. I also contributed a bright boho dress that shone beautifully on the meadow in the evening light. So we were able to alternate different outfits and styles and photograph a generous selection of motifs for the gallery.
I like to organize my couple photo shoots as a relaxed walk through nature. Instead of discussing stiff poses, we simply set off together. I like to start with relaxed full-body shots and then move on to more emotional, intimate picture situations. You tell me about yourselves and I accompany you with my camera. Our shoot resulted in very emotional couple photos when the two of them told each other about their first date: the looks, the laughter, the little hug in between, all very informal.
I give you little suggestions during the shoot: “Whisper something nice in your ear”, “Dance to your favorite playlist” or “Show me how you normally hug each other”. This creates moments that show your natural connection. For couples who are a little unsure or don’t feel so comfortable in front of the camera, I provide gentle support and adapt the motifs to your wishes. We coordinate so that you always feel comfortable and remain yourselves during the shoot.
I prefer to photograph outdoors with soft natural light. The beautiful surroundings help you to focus on each other and enjoy the moment. This results in spontaneous couple pictures as well as deliberately staged motifs that show your connection without appearing posed.
There are many wonderful places for couple photos in Munich: the English Garden with its extensive meadows, the Isar with its riverbank, the Olympic Park or the Nymphenburg Palace Park. I went to Riemer See with Lisa and Tom. And as the sun slowly set, the warm, golden light bathed everything in a magical atmosphere. You can’t plan moments like these, but with the right instinct, you can create exactly the kind of couple pictures that you’ll be looking at for years to come.
Some couples bring in their own ideas, be it a particular outfit, an accessory with meaning, a pet or a place that brings back memories. I am happy to respond to you and combine your ideas with my photographic expertise. Tom had secretly prepared a little surprise: a handwritten letter to Lisa, which he gave her to read during the shoot. The tears of emotion that flowed turned into very emotional couple photos in this shoot.
After the shoot, I will select the most beautiful couple photos for you and edit them in my natural, subtle style. You will receive the finished pictures via an online gallery, so you can view, select, download and share your couple photos in a relaxed manner.
Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, preparing for your engagement or wedding or simply want to capture your love in beautiful pictures: I design every couple shoot individually with you. Together we will find the perfect location, the right motifs for you and create an atmosphere in which you feel comfortable and are completely yourselves.
After the photo shoot, you can choose your personal favorites in the online gallery and decide which picture package suits your selection.
I recommend that you think about the Premium package early on when making your selection, so you don’t have to!
