DRIVEN BY CONNECTION,
REFINED BY EXPERIENCE.
Photography is my form of expression, and the years I spent in design and the creative industry are what taught me to see. I photograph weddings and nothing else, because I can think of nothing more interesting — a love letter to life. Two people choose each other, and then choose everything around that choice: the people they want in the room, the setting, the flowers, the food, the music, the light at the end of the evening. A celebration of love, of life, of belonging — and of being a little unreasonable for one day.
I am a very warm and empathic person — the kind who will get choked up during a heartfelt vow or speech. That is what I look for in my photography: real, deep connections expressed by people for each other.
Being based in Vienna I get to enjoy and work with some of the most grand palaces and interiors while calling Italy my second home for all the incredible landscape, villas, borghi and warm culture it hosts.
I work in an unhurried way — refined yet natural.
On the day itself, couples describe me as calm and energetic in equal measure. I keep my approach unobtrusive, letting the day unfold while stepping in with subtle direction whenever needed. By taking on only a limited number of weddings each year, I can give every couple my full attention throughout the entire process.
My vision is to tell your story through images that feel both timeless and alive. I combine documentary honesty with a touch of editorial direction, creating photographs that are effortless, elegant and enduring.
Being married myself, I know how much thought goes into planning a wedding. But what matters most to me is that you are fully immersed in the moment. If you and your guests are having a great time, the photos will show it.
Every gallery I hand over is carefully curated. The result is not just a record of what happened, but a collection of images that allow you to relive the atmosphere, the people, the laughter and the love of your wedding day — again and again, for years to come.
When I am not photographing a wedding or working on a gallery in the studio, I travel with my wife Sarah, enjoy art of every kind, or take the road bike out until my head is clear again.
“From the moment we began planning our wedding in Italy, finding the right photographer was one of our top priorities — and hiring Jakob was without question the best decision we made. He’s not only incredibly talented but also went above and beyond to capture every moment exactly as we had envisioned. Jakob found the most beautiful backdrops, helped with thoughtful little details during the preparations, and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The photos turned out absolutely stunning — more perfect than we could have imagined!”
