Start from a sensible baseline, adjust it live to your day, and see right away what still makes sense.

How to use this page

You do not start from zero here. You start with a setup that is already close to your day, then adjust timing, focus, and price without having to lock every detail in immediately.

Inside the calculator, you can switch between fixed pricing and time-based billing. Fixed pricing is the simple default. If you want the number to stay closer to the real flow of your day, time-based billing is usually the fairer option.

Planned fairly

This is not meant to feel like anonymous package-clicking. It should be a fair way to get to coverage that really fits you.

Start with the frame that feels closest to your day.

Pick the size that feels right first. Underneath, you can see how your current scope shifts, how the price reacts, and which billing mode fits your day better.

Half dayselected

For many couples, this is the most balanced middle ground when the ceremony, groups, portraits, and the start of the celebration should all fit without making the day unnecessarily long.

Coverage window
13:00 to 19:00

You are currently planning with 6 h on site. This is the time frame for coverage, portraits, and everything in between.

Ceremony
Free ceremony

Individual, often more emotional and varied in its flow.

Group photos
Around 60 people

More combinations, more coordination, more selection. The jump is intentionally not brutally linear, but it is very real.

Congratulations
Many, almost full highlights

Noticeably more real interactions and reactions should be kept.

Couple session
45 min daytime + 15 min evening

More calm during the day plus a short evening section with stronger light.

Photographer setup
1 photographer, just me

The clear, calm one-person setup. Good for days that should be covered closely without adding more people into the room.

Usage rights
Private use

This usage is included by default in all wedding packages.

What stays the same with every coverage
  • I do not work with artificial image caps. If strong images are made, they belong to your story rather than a pricing gap.
  • Editing is always part of the work. You do not get a half-finished selection, but a set that works as a whole.
  • Delivery is digital by default and kept straightforward. No unnecessary detours, no extra hurdles.
  • Before anything is booked, there is always a call or planning conversation, either online or in person.
  • All prices are shown without VAT under the German small business regulation for 2026 pursuant to Section 19 UStG.

Ceremony

Free ceremony

Match this choice to your actual ceremony. Depending on the format, pacing, image density, and editing effort shift noticeably.
More details

The focus stays on reportage, portraits, or other parts of the day. This module adds no dedicated editing block.

Often a fit for: Days without a classic ceremony or coverage that begins later.

More details

Registry ceremonies are often shorter and more tightly scheduled than other formats. Even then, there are enough moments and reactions to justify a dedicated editing block.

Often a fit for: Smaller coverages built around the ceremony, congratulations, and a short section afterwards.

More details

Free ceremonies often happen at the venue or outdoors and bring more movement, more content, and changing light. That increases the effort in curation, pacing, and look compared with a registry ceremony.

Often a fit for: Days with music, speeches, personal touches, and a little more room around the ceremony.

More details

Church ceremonies often run longer and include more distinct parts. Darker rooms, stronger contrast, and a denser editing block come with that.

Often a fit for: Classic church coverages with more liturgy, music, and a longer ceremony frame.

Congratulations

Many, almost full highlights

Congratulations often feel short, but they create a large number of small moments to curate later.
More details

This section is then simply covered as part of the reportage, without trying to preserve as many individual interactions as possible.

More details

On the day this often feels short, but it still creates many small situations later. If you mainly want the most important moments, the workload stays fairly compact.

Often a fit for: If a handful of strong interactions is enough and this part should not dominate the day.

More details

This is no longer just about a few key frames, but about much more of the actual sequence of hugs, reactions, and gestures. It is lively to photograph and much denser to curate later.

Often a fit for: If this section matters to you and you want much more of it preserved naturally.

More details

This option is for couples who do not see congratulations as a short in-between block, but as an important emotional part of the day. The ambition is high even though these moments should remain natural rather than directed like a shoot.

Often a fit for: If family, guests, and many individual reactions matter strongly to your memory of the day.

Couple session

45 min daytime + 15 min evening

The session sits inside your coverage time and should fit your day well. Many couples plan the main part before the ceremony or during the day and add a short second image moment in the evening.
More details

Portraits then happen more organically within the coverage, without carving out a dedicated session block. That can work very well if you want as few interruptions as possible.

More details

This is the clear standard option if you want a dedicated window for portraits. The session itself is part of your on-site time; this mainly reflects the later curation and editing.

Often a fit for: If you want a calm dedicated portrait session without adding an evening block.

More details

This is often the strongest middle ground: calm portraits during the day and a short second window with quieter evening light. It often creates the most atmospheric variety without making the session much longer overall.

Often a fit for: If you want strong portraits and your coverage runs into the evening.

My tip: If your schedule allows it, 10 to 15 minutes in the evening often create the biggest visual payoff.

More details

This is the most extensive portrait option. It creates more room for movement, motifs, and different moods and works especially well if portraits are a clear priority for you.

Often a fit for: If you want to give the session more room and your coverage is planned into the evening.

My tip: Most useful when portraits are a clear priority and you can make that time available without stress.

If this feels broadly right, you can take the next step now.

If the direction feels right, that is already enough for an enquiry. You do not need every detail locked in yet.

1. Send your enquiry by email, WhatsApp, or with this configuration.

2. We look at your plans, priorities, and open questions together.

3. After that, you get a clean final quote that actually fits your day.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a guaranteed minimum number of images?

No, not as an artificial package threshold. The number of images depends on the day, the flow, and the photographic situation. A strong and sensible selection matters more to me than a number that only looks good on paper.

Is editing included?

Yes. Curation, look, and clean finishing are part of the work.

What is the difference between fixed pricing and time-based billing?

With fixed pricing, you lock in one number for the agreed frame. The extra 5% is my small buffer to keep that frame stable. With time-based billing, the quote stays closer to your actual day and is shown with a realistic corridor of plus or minus 7.5%.

When does each mode make more sense?

It is less about which one pays off and more about preference. I personally like detailed, precise billing. If you would rather have clear planning certainty, fixed pricing is the better fit. I have worked with variable pricing a lot in the past, so both options have a valid place.

What happens if we need more or less than the package suggests?

Then we adapt the coverage to your day. That is exactly why every package also has a path toward an individual enquiry.

What happens if we choose fixed pricing and extend the day on site?

As long as the agreed frame holds, the fixed price stays fixed. If you deliberately extend the day on site or ask me to stay longer, those extra hours are billed separately at 100 EUR per hour.

What does the plus/minus 7.5% range mean in time-based billing?

It is not a trick, just an honest buffer around the actual time model. Weddings never run like pure maths. The base price is the cleanest calculation, and the corridor shows where things can realistically land depending on how the day unfolds.

Do we need to decide everything right away?

No. The packages are meant as a starting point. If you roughly know the direction, that is already enough for now.

Is this already a binding quote?

No. It is an honest estimate that helps you judge your day more clearly. The final quote is then adjusted properly to your actual plan.

Is there a call or planning conversation before booking?

Yes. Before the final booking, there is always a call or planning conversation, depending on the situation either online or in person. That gives us room to check whether the frame really fits you and your day.

Can we start with a rough enquiry only?

Yes. You do not need a fully locked schedule yet. In most cases, a date, a location, and a rough outline are enough to keep moving in a sensible way.
