Melissa & Willi · A wedding in Bielefeld

A personal piano moment, a church ceremony and a surprise from friends: we captured Melissa and Willi in photographs and film.

Flowers and piano music while getting ready.

Melissa prepared for the wedding at home. The bouquets inspired a portrait with flowers framing her face. We then invited her to play the piano. That moment brought a quiet, personal atmosphere to the preparations, captured in photographs and film.

Years of memories together.

Melissa and Willi have been a couple since their youth. Their church ceremony in Bielefeld felt especially heartfelt and intimate — another shared step after many years together.

Couple portraits and friends at the castle.

After the church, we headed to Schloss Neuhaus in Paderborn. Around the castle, we took couple portraits and photographs with the wedding party. We used the bouquets again as part of the composition. It was lovely to include their friends and see their joy in the photographs.

A surprise dance for the couple.

For the reception, friends prepared a surprise: a dance show spanning different musical styles, complete with matching costumes and a Texas-style number. Their preparation and personal effort made it especially memorable.

“They captured emotional, spontaneous and funny moments.”
