Real Weddings, Real Couples

Every couple asks the same question in different words: what will it actually look like? Here is the honest answer. No styled shoots, no models — couples like you, many of whom trusted a photographer they had only ever met on a screen, from three time zones away.

Sylvie & Max: An American-German Wedding Above the Rhine

Steigenberger Icon Grandhotel & Spa Petersberg · near Bonn

When Sylvie from the US married Max from Germany, one hundred guests from two countries gathered high above the Rhine at a hotel that once hosted presidents and chancellors. The DJ flew in from the States to keep both continents dancing until late. My favourite detail: for the evening, Sylvie changed into a gown created from a wedding dress in her family — the same fabric reborn for a new chapter.

Kevin & Steven: A New York Couple's Berlin Celebration

Soho House & DEEP Berlin

Kevin and Steven flew in from New York to say their vows in the city they love. Getting ready at Soho House, an emotional ceremony in the artfully lit DEEP, and a party that turned the venue into one of Berlin's best dance floors — complete with drag queens and a crowd that did not want the night to end. A wedding that celebrated love without borders, exactly the kind of story I am proudest to tell.

She wore Vera Wang, he wore Tom Ford, and Berlin wore its best light.
