Documentary wedding photography, on analogue film, in Berlin and beyond
Weddings photographed entirely on film
A wedding is one day, and then it is memory. I photograph it on medium format and 35mm film, from getting ready to the dance floor. The work is documentary: close to the day, attentive to what is real, and gently directed only when it helps.
At the end, there is something real to hold: the negatives from your wedding come home with you. Hold them up to the light in thirty years, and the day is still there.
A gallery to share, negatives to keep
The finished photographs arrive in a private online gallery, edited, ready to share and to print whenever you want them on paper. The original negatives come with them.
Behind the camera
I'm Martina, born in Prague and based in Berlin. I've photographed on film for more than twenty years, and weddings have been the heart of my work for the last nine.
