Authentic Wedding Documentaries
Documentary Wedding Photographer Thomas Marek

"Memory demands an image"

Bertrand Russell

The best stories tell themselves, the storyteller remains in the background.

As a silent observer, I document your wedding in the style of a classic photo reportage that tells the story of your wedding day in pictures.

I photograph in such a way that these pictures speak for themselves, capturing the moment and the moods of the day and bringing the experience directly to life. For this purpose, I accompany your wedding unobtrusively over a period of time that allows us to capture the special and the small moments and, of course, the really big ones, sensitively, excitingly and candidly.

This creates authentic images that are both beautiful and enduring. The result, timeless in color and black and white, is a story that tells itself - the story of your wedding day.

The day that the bride and groom spend so long planning, organizing and imagining flies by in a burst of emotion, and the fuzziest memories always have those who are actually the subject of the event. All the more important are pictures that not only capture the classic moments, but tell the stories in between, behind and around them: 
capturing impressions, moods and details that still hold

discoveries and revive memories years later.
This requires a photographer who harmonizes with the bride and groom in both style and storytelling, who is passionate - and professional. So as important as the decor and location, music and menu, is the choice of photographer.

I would be happy to invite you to a personal meeting.

Your wedding is one of the most important days in your life. A wedding reportage is the most beautiful way to make the memories of this day come alive.

FAQ
Questions for a documentary wedding photographer

How would you describe your style?

I act as unobtrusively as possible when I'm photographing and don't interfere in situations. I see myself as a silent observer, documenting the world as I perceive it through my viewfinder. Stylistically, I am influenced by classic photo reportage and my goal is to show the emotions of individual moments naturally, honestly and sensitively in my pictures. 

How many pictures do we get?

Depending on the length of the wedding, my wedding coverage includes between 200 and +500 photos, which are carefully selected and edited by hand.
After all, more important than the number of photos is that the story of your wedding day is told fluently and the photographs have a consistent quality. 

Are are the photos being edited?

All photos are post-processed and "developed" by hand. I do not use ready-made filters, but each image is edited individually and delivered as a high-resolution jpeg.
The finished wedding reportage consists of a mixture of color and black and white photographs. I

Is there a first personal meeting?

Yes, absolutely. Your wedding day is an important and above all exciting day that should be well planned. Since I will spend a lot of time with you as a wedding photographer, it is important that the chemistry between us is right. If this is given, then authentic and exciting wedding photos will be created. 

Where is your area of operation?

In a nutshell: everywhere.
I am permanently installed in Vienna and Hamburg. In addition, I photograph your wedding of course throughout Austria, Germany, Europe as well as internationally.
If my portfolio appeals to you, I will be happy to photograph your wedding, no matter where it takes place. 

Do you also do portrait and group photos?

Even though my focus is on wedding reportage, I know how important portraits and group photos are.
With good preparation and planning, group photos are done quickly and professionally, so you and your guests can celebrate joyfully again. 

I will be happy to photograph your wedding and I look forward to hearing from you.
