meet your photographer
Hey, it's Toni!
the magic is in the connection
Let's break the ice!
Getting to know each other is super important to me. If we feel comfortable around each other, not only will your entire wedding photo experience be more enjoyable, but it will also lead to more authentic photos. I can’t wait to find out all about you! Meanwhile, I want to share with you what makes my heart beat.
8 years have passed since I shot my first wedding. It was a lucky coincidence that got me into it – and funny enough, I initially didn’t want to because I thought wedding photography is kitschy. Turned out it doesn’t have to be, and I fell in love with weddings. I might have developed an addiction to the positive vibes at weddings.
During the pandemic, I offered Tinder photo shoots and was even featured on Pro7 Galileo in a TV show about social dating. Last year, I had the pleasure of photographing my first wedding that resulted from these shoots. What a love story!
I also got to capture a wedding in the VOX TV show Guido’s Wedding Race (yes, Shopping Queen Guido).
My current top obsession, aside from photography, is making pottery. I have a pottery wheel at home and I create purely for personal pleasure, no business ventures in sight (despite what some may ask).
Another favorite activity is redoing the interior of our apartment. Apparently I need aesthetic surroundings and regular changes to stimulate my restless creative mind. And there can never be enough houseplants. Meet me at the next plant pop-up store!
Our story… I grew up in Bamberg, Germany, and my husband (Artem) is from St. Petersburg, Russia. Most of the time, we speak English to each other, but we also do German. Additionally, I’ve been studying Russian, but with moderate success ;).
We got married in July 2023 at Munich’s Standesamt Mandlstraße and celebrated in our own unconventional way. Scroll down for a glimpse into our wedding day!
