About

Hey, I'm Kea!

To me, photography is a way of truly seeing people

Since 2021 I've accompanied couples and people through their most special moments – calm, attentive and with an eye for what happens between the frames. It matters to me that you can let yourself go. That there's time to breathe, to laugh, to pause.

Because that's exactly where the images are born that feel real later on. My photos don't just tell you how a moment looked, but how it felt.

What I stand for

Natural, aesthetic and by your side

Naturalness

In front of the camera you get to be entirely yourself. I gently guide you so no one has to pretend. That's how I capture the unforced, real moments – including those of your guests – instead of stiff poses.

Aesthetics

An eye for light, calm and composition. Images that feel like they're from a magazine – and still look like you.

By your side

I'm never just your photographer. I'm there for you before, during and after – honest, close and with all my heart.

Personal insights

My heart-places

Wide sandy beach on Norderney

Norderney

Because my mum lives on the island, I spend a lot of private time on Norderney too. For me it means slowing down, breathing and arriving again and again. I love the wide beaches, the North Sea light and the special stillness in the early morning, when the island is entirely mine. I know the paths, the hidden corners and the loveliest spots at every time of day – and it's exactly this familiarity that I bring to every shoot I get to accompany here. Norderney isn't a backdrop for me, but a piece of home.

Italy

And then there's Italy. As a child I spent many summers at Lake Garda with my parents – camping, warm evenings by the water, that special light in the early morning. That time left a deep connection in me: to the Italian lightness, to the slow life, to long tables full of good food and people who take time for one another. When I accompany couples for their wedding in Italy today, it never feels foreign to me – more like a reunion with a place that shaped me.
