Hamburg-based wedding photographer with a passport full of stamps and a heart full of stories. I fell in love with photography long before weddings entered the picture — first through film cameras in high school, then through the way people connect and express emotion across cultures.
Weddings drew me in with their beautiful chaos — the raw emotion, the quiet in-between moments, the laughter and tears and everything that makes your day truly yours. I’m here to capture the full story: the big joyful moments, the tiny unspoken ones, and all the colors in between.
My style blends documentary intuition with editorial playfulness and an artistic eye shaped by life across continents: from Hong Kong to Canada to Europe. Whether we’re in Hamburg, Porto, Provence, or somewhere wild and wonderful across the globe, my goal is the same: make you feel seen, celebrated, and utterly comfortable in front of the camera.

What inspires me
I draw inspiration from diverse sources, including travel, film photography, cinematography, visual arts, fashion, and various art movements like surrealism, and impressionism. Observing people, nostalgic places, and subtle human emotions also influence my work, all of which converge into the images I create for your wedding day.
Outside of photography, I enjoy traveling, painting, sitcoms, exploring new restaurants, and petting dogs. Energetic yet sensitive, I create a comfortable atmosphere for my couples, embracing both introverted and extroverted qualities. I'm drawn to creative, unconventional individuals who appreciate art and culture. Let's connect—I'm eager to learn and share new experiences with you!
My favourite things
My passions boil down to the big four: photography, painting, movies, and food. Here are some of my favourites:
Photographers. Doisneau, Leiter, Wing Shya, Maier, Fan Ho, Haas
Painters: Kusama (for finding calmness in chaos), Magritte & Dali (the leaders of surrealism), Schiele (for his unconventional portraits), Botticelli (captivating with the way he paints Venus) , Caravaggio for his provocative art), Picasso (for challenging the notion of reality)
Directors: Wong Kar Wai (embracing imperfection, chaos, and vibrant colors in his movies), Lanthimos (crafting an artful dystopian world), Gerwig (her portrayal of women's hero journey), Wenders (his cinematography), Lynch (use of space to tell compelling stories)
Food: Sushi, truffles, risotto ... my list is never-ending since I'm a true foodie at heart.
The shoot experience
I've got a bit of a different approach here—no micromanaging, just some gentle guidance. My focus is on capturing a uniquely you experience with effortless candidness, think of it as natural wedding photography. In this safe space, authenticity thrives, and together, we'll create some art. Whether it's handing you tissues during heartfelt moments or hitting the dance floor for candid shots, I've got your back.
From tears to boogie-ing down, I'm here for every step. That's what you deserve from a photographer – nothing less. I'm eager to document your life in an artful way.
Take a laid-back scroll through my approach and what to expect. If we vibe, awesome! But if you think another photographer might offer a better time, I'm all for it. Because how you feel about the photos later is all about the experience you have with your photographer. Let's make it memorable.
My philosophy
Photography has become a journey where I grow and learn so much about myself. I want couples to find and feel their genuine selves in my sessions. Photo sessions are a way to spend quality time together and simultaneously allow you to reconnect to each other on a deeper level. My priority is to ensure that you have a safe place to feel at ease and allow yourselves to open to each other.
Photography can be a therapeutic experience
albums
Preserve your memories physically
Wedding
Imagine gathering with loved ones over wine or cocktails, flipping through a wedding album. Unlike screens, holding an album offers a distinct emotional impact. Inspired by fashion coffee table books like Jacquemus and Celine, my albums feature a modern, subtle aesthetic, serving as artwork that complements your home decor. It's the perfect keepsake—preserving memories while adding modern elegance.
Throughout the process, your active involvement is key. Choose your favourite snapshots and explore cover options. Once finalized, we send it to the printer. Within weeks, your beautiful wedding album arrives by mail or pick-up (if you live in Hamburg, Germany)!
Jackie shot our wedding week in Tuscany and she captured our happiness so perfectly in a candid and emotional way.
