Pforzheim Engagement Shoot

When I was getting my engineering degree (yes, I studied for almost 6 years in a tech university, however never worked as an engineer ever after, but this is a different story) I met Lisa and we became very good friends through all the study time. My passion for photography started back in those days and Lisa always told me that I should photograph her wedding when she will have one. Sure! But, you know how the life is, we moved to different countries and did not have many opportunities to meet.

Meanwhile, I got a text from her boyfriend Andrew and imagine my surprise when he asked me if I were willing to make a Sardinia (Italy) engagement shoot for them! Certainly I am! We have fixed the date and I went to Cagliari. 

I think weddings are celebrations of peoples love. You can do them literally, as you wish: at a remote island with only a photographer as a witness or, for example, among your friends and family at a beautiful wedding location near a nice lake. This is exactly what Giovanna and Francesco did at their wonderful open-air Steigenberger Inselhotel wedding ceremony and shooting.

Nature is a huge part of my life, especially forest and mountains. I have never thought that I will actually live in a national park. Moreover, not just any other park but the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) itself. Since 2015, we are blessed to live at the northern part of it and I have totally fallen in love with this place. I did an engagement not far from my home, and I was really looking forward to photographing my first real Black Forest Wedding.
