Find Your Perfect Wedding Vendors
One.Two.Tree.Photography
One.Two.Tree.Photography is built on a clear, modern belief about love and choice. The brand’s ethos starts where tradition ends: “In our society, it’s not necessary to get married anymore. You have the freedom to choose your partner, who makes you feel comfortable, who accepts your the way you are as a human being.” That perspective shows up in the work—images that celebrate autonomy, tenderness, and the rare courage it takes to say yes in front of your favorite people.
Their aesthetic is observational but intentional. Expect movement over stiffness, editorial composition over formula, and a feel for atmosphere that turns passing moments into anchors. The style is “non-traditional and documentary style, mixed with art, fashion style and emotions,” which translates on the day to quiet guidance when it helps and invisibility when the moment is breathing on its own.
Vera Schulz
VEO MEDIA is Vera Schulz’s playground of light, fashion, and feeling—an editorial-minded wedding studio rooted in Munich and traveling often across Italy and France. Vera blends modern polish with lived-in warmth, crafting imagery that feels effortlessly chic yet deeply personal. As she puts it, “I love blending spontaneous, lively moments with the elegance of an editorial style, creating images that are timeless, stylish, and full of real emotion.”
Her visual language moves between ethereal portraits and honest documentary frames, guided by setting, wardrobe, and the couple’s energy. In her words, “I love shooting in an editorial way with a fashionable and ethereal touch… capturing real emotions and authentic storytelling is at the heart of my work.” Think true-to-life color, refined grading, and the occasional nostalgic flourish—yes, even a vintage Sony Hi8 for texture—always anchored by a natural edit: “My editing approach is always natural, I aim to stay true to authentic colors while adding a refined touch with color grading.”
EMÈS Weddings
EMÈS Weddings is the quiet, considered artistry of photographer Melanie Thomas—rooted in the South of Germany, shaped by a decade of weddings, and expanded into a small, intentional team. What began in 2014 alongside her husband Shayne (now the studio’s videographer) has grown into a refined, full-service brand. Since 2024, Melanie has been documenting weddings across Europe with photographer Joana, working solo or together with an ease that couples feel immediately. Their promise is simple and confident: “At EMÈS Weddings we offer a thoughtful balance between documentary-style coverage and refined artistic direction.”
The EMÈS look is modern yet lasting: true-to-colour, calm compositions, and a feel for light that flatters without fuss. They read the room, shape the frame, and then let the moment breathe. In their words, “With a deep understanding of when to step in and when to step back, we tailor our level of creative guidance to each couple and each unique wedding.” The result is work that wears time well—“a timeless photographic style, true-to-colour, elegant, and emotionally resonant.”
Michèle Schiermann Photography
Michèle Schiermann Photography brings a graceful, Italian-tinged sensibility to Munich’s wedding scene—images with air and intention, where setting and feeling are woven into one frame. She found her calling young, guided by her sister’s influence and a lifelong pull toward la dolce vita: “I’m based in beautiful Munich, but my heart has always been drawn to Italian culture — its warmth, aesthetics, and sense of timeless romance.” That affinity lives in her approach: “My photographic vision is best described as environmental storytelling: I aim to capture genuine emotions while allowing the surroundings to become part of the narrative, creating images that feel both personal and timeless.”
Her style reads timeless and cinematic—editorial elegance paired with documentary intimacy—favoring soft natural light, honest emotion, and meticulous composition. Client alignment is everything: “It’s very important to me that we speak the same creative language.” Expect a warm, kind collaboration that tunes into your story’s “little ingredients” so the pictures feel unmistakably yours.
Ayla Paul
Ayla Paul works in clean lines and lasting feeling—elegant frames with a quiet pulse beneath. Since 2016, she’s pursued a simple promise: “love going for aesthetics which will look timeless after many years.” Rather than ornate setups, she favors clarity with a wink of edge: “Describing my style as elegant and classic, there's an incorporation of a subtle touch of fashion and chic.”
Story drives everything. “What I love most is the storytelling part — capturing real emotions and turning moments into something that lasts forever.” To get there, she begins by tuning into her couples’ wavelength: “I always try to understand my clients’ vision first — their mood, their story, their expectations. Then I combine it with my style to create something unique for them.” Destination-wise, her compass points south: “My favorite destination so far is Lake Como, but Italy in general has a special place in my heart.” The result is Ayla’s signature: refined, fashion-kissed images that read classic today and still feel right years from now.
Save your favorites, peek at a few full wedding galleries, and jump on a quick call to see if the chemistry’s there. Ask about timelines, backup gear, film vs. digital, and delivery—then lock your date early (Munich books fast, especially May–September). If you can, schedule an engagement shoot in the English Garden or along the Isar to get comfortable in front of the lens. The right photographer won’t just document the day—they’ll translate your style into images you’ll love for years.
