Question 1

Do you photograph baptisms?

Accepted Answer

Yes, dignified and unobtrusive - in the Kremstal, the Wachau and surroundings. I stay in the background and don't disturb the ceremony.

Question 2

Do you cover first communion and confirmation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both. I know the liturgical flow, find the right moments and stay respectfully in the background.

Question 3

What does covering a church occasion cost?

Accepted Answer

The "Segenslicht" package is € 220 and covers the ceremony plus short group and family photos.

Question 4

Is photography even allowed in church?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes, in agreement with the priest. I clarify it in advance and respect the rules - quiet, no flash during sacred moments.

Question 5

Do you disturb the ceremony with the camera?

Accepted Answer

No - that's my top priority. I work quietly, with fast lenses and no flash, from a discreet distance.

Question 6

Do you also take photos after the ceremony outside the church?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the congratulations and family photos in front of the church are part of it - I organise the groups briskly and warmly.

Question 7

How many images do we get?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the occasion, typically 30–80 edited images via a private gallery to download and share with family.

Question 8

When are the images ready?

Accepted Answer

Usually within one to two weeks - early enough for thank-you cards.

Question 9

Do you also cover the celebration afterwards?

Accepted Answer

On request, yes - the celebration at home or in a restaurant can be added as an hourly package.

Question 10

Do you also take photos at a memorial service?

Accepted Answer

On explicit request I also cover memorial services - very discreetly and respectfully, as a quiet keepsake for the family.

Question 11

Can we get a printed keepsake?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a small photo book or fine prints of the best images are available as an add-on - a lasting keepsake of the day.

Question 12

Do you know the churches in the region?

Accepted Answer

Many - from the parish church of Krems via Stein to the village churches of the Kremstal. I know where the light falls best at which time.

Question 13

How should we prepare for the images?

Accepted Answer

Not much - just be present. Tell me in advance which family groupings matter to you; the rest I capture observationally.

Question 14

Do you also cover a free ceremony?

Accepted Answer

Yes - free ceremonies and blessing celebrations, whether in the vineyard or garden, I photograph and film just as sensitively as church occasions.

Blessing light.
