I focus on documenting the unscripted moments that reflect who you really are. Whether you're out in nature, exploring the city, or just enjoying time together, I want to capture what feels real, not staged. This is your story, and it deserves to be told your way.
I'm a Documentary Photographer first,
and a Wedding Photographer second.
Experience
Love is for everyone, no exceptions. I’m here to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and all kinds of love. Racism and discrimination have no place here and every person deserves respect and dignity, no matter their background.
I believe true intimacy is found in those unspoken moments – the quiet smiles, loud laughter, and glances that say more than words. I’m not chasing trends nor sticking to traditions and like to focus on timeless but deeply emotive moments in a documentary way. I like to call it the real stuff.
I’m all about celebrating everyone who blazes their own trail. If a big traditional wedding isn’t your thing and you'd rather tie the knot alone on a mountain top — let’s lace up our hiking boots! Wanna bring your cat? You should totally do it! End the shoot with a skinny dip? Might be too cold for me, but I’ll definitely snap some photos of it. Pitch me your ideas, and we’ll make your dream adventure happen.
The Real Stuff

Love is love

Stepping in front of a camera can be a challenge, especially if you're a bit shy (I know the feeling. I’m more on the quiet side too). It’s all about staying relaxed; stiff poses can feel unnatural, almost mannequin-like. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, encouraging you to interact and connect. I might throw in a suggestion or two, just enough to spark a genuine moment or shared laugh. But in the end, it’s all about letting the magic happen naturally, without forced poses.

Micro-weddings & Elopements
After shooting a wide range of weddings—from large celebrations with over 80 guests to intimate gatherings with just close friends and family—I’ve realized that I truly connect with the smaller celebrations. Elopements and micro-weddings allow me to focus on what matters most: the fleeting moments shared between you and your loved ones.
If group images are your priority, I might not be the right fit for you. However, if you want to capture those undiscovered moments and the small details in a documentary style, I’m here for that. My approach is unstaged, raw, and true to how your day unfolds.
Need more reasons to choose a smaller wedding? Here you go:
Elopements and micro-weddings allow you to share your special moment in a private and intimate setting, focusing solely on your love for each other.
Planning a large wedding can be overwhelming and stressful. Small weddings typically involve fewer logistical challenges and details to manage. Without the pressures of accommodating a large guest list, you can truly savor each moment.
If love to travel or crave adventures you may choose to elope in a picturesque or exotic location, combining your dream wedding with a memorable journey.
For couples who prefer a more low-key celebration, micro-weddings or elopements are an absolute dream come true. As an introverted person myself, I understand that being the center of attention isn't everyone's cup of tea. A small intimate wedding provides a comfortable, authentic environment where you can be yourselves, surrounded by a close-knit group of cherished friends and family. Elopements can also help you sidestep potential family conflicts or pressures associated with guest lists, traditions, and cultural expectations.

“Dear Lena, you have done what probably no one else would have done - you have not only captured our most beautiful day forever, but also preserved all the tears, laughs and heart palpitations. We look at our photos over and over again, and feel exactly the same as we did that day. Everything is just right! You accompanied us on that day with so much patience, calmness and dedication, for that we are infinitely grateful. Even when you don't feel comfortable in front of a camera or know what to do now, you manage to create completely natural and pleasant moments. And that's what makes your pictures so special. Thanks a million for your wonderful work!”

“Lena! I am in awe. Truly, yours are my favorite photos ever taken!! The way you captured the emotion of the moment, the moody composition and tone of the story make the photos come to life in a dream state. Also the fact that we captured the Alster which is my favorite place in the world makes me cry of happiness. Thank you thank you thank you! I really love your images and cherish these memories in Hamburg. I just returned to LA and opening these beauties gave me a piece of Hamburg I felt I lost. Thank you capturing my dream Alster shoot, I really enjoyed our time together!!”
