Freiburg
Couple shooting in Freiburg
Two people who know each other look different from two people posing. So here you get direction rather than instructions — and the pauses in between, where the better pictures happen.

What couple photography is used for
A picture of the two of you
Not every couple picture needs an occasion. Sometimes the reason is simply that there is no good photo of you together yet.
Anniversary and gift
For an anniversary, as a gift for each other or for parents and grandparents: a picture you are glad to put on a shelf or hang on a wall.
Profile pictures and invitations
For social media, cards or an invitation, the joint picture is often exactly what is missing when there are only selfies.
Wedding and engagement: GKN Hochzeit
For weddings and engagements there is the sister brand GKN Hochzeit. This shoot is the one without a wedding and without an occasion.
How a couple shoot works
Neither of you needs to know couple poses. The process is built so that you forget the camera.
A short talk beforehand
Occasion, mood and place: outdoors in the old town or on the Schlossberg, or in the studio. Two, three minutes, ideally before the appointment.
Arriving
The first minutes are for arriving. You do not have to perform anything straight away.
Guidance instead of staged poses
You get small cues about where to look or how to stand, and pauses in between, where the better pictures happen.
Selection during the session
The pictures are selected during the session, not days later.
Retouching and delivery
The chosen pictures are retouched naturally. The finished pictures arrive digitally, as express within two hours if you wish (€50 per image).
Preparation: clothing, shoes, time
Coordinated, not identical
Choose clothes in the same colour family rather than matching outfits. Large logos and tight patterns distract.
Shoes and weather
If you go outdoors: the old town means cobblestones, the Schlossberg means a climb. Comfortable shoes matter more than they look in the picture.
Arrive without a rush
If you arrive in a rush, it shows in the picture. With two people that counts double.
Make-up and hair
A make-up artist can be added (€120). Otherwise: the way you feel comfortable on a good day.
