HOVE

  • I’m Franzi, the photographer behind HOVE, capturing weddings across Germany and Europe with a thoughtful, artistic approach.

    My goal is to preserve the essence of your wedding day — from grand emotions to fleeting moments and quiet gestures. With a focus on authenticity, I create relaxed yet elegant visuals that reflect your unique story.

    Inspired by art, travel, and human connection, I aim to capture timeless moments with subtlety and intention.

    When I’m not behind the lens, I cherish time with my husband — my best friend since high school — and our four-year-old son, exploring and explaining the world together. Family is a source of inspiration for love and connection. I aim to capture that in every wedding I photograph.

  • Elegant, Refined, and Effortlessly Romantic.

    HOVE embraces the art of capturing moments with elegance and ease. I focus on authentic interactions, spontaneous laughter, and the subtle gestures that make your day truly yours. My approach is:

    • Discreet and Relaxed – I blend into your day, capturing moments as they naturally unfold.

    • Elegant and Refined – Timeless imagery that transcends trends.

    • Genuine and Human – A celebration of the connections and emotions that matter most.

  • Relaxed Elegance. Timeless Romance.

    I craft images that are both refined and effortless. My work celebrates the quiet luxury of genuine connection and the joy of relaxed romance. Through natural light, subtle compositions, and a touch of spontaneity, I create photographs that feel timeless and alive.

    My signature style:

    • Natural Light and Colours – Capturing the authentic mood of the day by reflecting the natural lighting conditions, with occasional use of flash to preserve the atmosphere when needed.

    • Classic Compositions – Capturing the world as I see it: art, perspective, and a touch of spontaneous charm.

    • Artistic - Understanding how light and shadow shape a moment.

    • Subtle Humor and Joy – A touch of lightheartedness.

    • Understated Refinement – Effortless beauty, never overstated.

CURIOUS

prior to saying
YES

  • We can talk either via video call or in person, to ensure I am the right fit for your wedding.

    When we speak, it won’t be a sales pitch. It will be a conversation — genuine, relaxed, and free from scripts or strategies.

    My aim is to see if we connect, not to convince.

  • Yes, I do travel! I am available to photograph weddings across Germany and Europe.

  • 2 hours of civil wedding coverage:
    only in Berlin, Braunschweig and Hanover
    only Monday to Thursday

    Civil Wedding in the rest of Germany and Europe:
    available for bookings of 6 hours or more

  • Yes, I work with a trusted second photographer when needed to ensure every important moment is captured from multiple perspectives.

    For larger weddings, I always recommend a second team member.

  • Many couples feel uneasy in front of a camera, and I completely get it. As an introvert, I know how the camera can magnify every moment. But even introverts shine when they’re comfortable and surrounded by the right energy. It’s not about forcing anything — it’s about creating a space where you can naturally be yourselves. Your wedding isn’t about perfect poses; it’s about capturing what’s real and meaningful to you.

    I won’t tell you to just be yourselves — that’s easier said than done! The key is to lose yourselves in the moment: each other, your loved ones, and the emotions of the day. When that happens, the photos will capture your authentic story — no stiff poses, no awkward smiles, just beautiful, candid moments.

    Every couple has their own quirks, inside jokes, and traditions. I’m like a radar for these moments — whether it’s a quiet glance, a laugh, or a lively celebration. I blend into the background, knowing when to step back, guide gently, or simply disappear. My goal is to make you feel at ease, so the images reflect you — real, honest, and timeless.
