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.

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.

    Travel fees are always included in Germany.

    For weddings taking place outside of Germany, additional travel fees will apply. These costs are customized based on the destination, ensuring seamless planning and uninterrupted, exceptional service throughout your celebration.

    only in Berlin, Braunschweig and Hanover
    only Monday to Thursday

    Civil Wedding in the rest of Germany and Europe:

  • 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.
