Trash the Dress – Ana & Kilian – Walberla – Germany

Ana and Kilian, one of those couples that photography bring our way to do us the good. It all started with a message that Ana sent to me on Facebook and I took the liberty to quote below:

Hi, Arthur! I’m a big a fan of your work. I love the style, the edition and the feelings that you capture. My question is: Do you have any Workshop with photographers who are still taking the first steps in photography? Congratulations for the beautiful work! Hugs, Ana.”

Of course I was embarrassed by this message, after all Ana is also a photographer and good one. She showcases some of her photos in a very cool blog that I think you might like to follow. Here’s a link.

Unfortunately, I said no to Ana´s idea about the Workshop and we continued to talk and she ended up telling me that she lives in Germany. Then I asked if the city she lives in was near Frankfurt, and she told me that it was a two-hour trip by train. At that moment I said that I was going to Frankfurt in August of 2015, and she asked me if I would photograph someone there and I said: YES! I’m going to photograph you and your husband (I had checked her Facebook profile already). :-D

Ana was surprised and loved the idea. She talked to Kilian about the session and he was very excited too. They invited us to stay in their house and besides being great hosts, they were great tourist guides in Nuremberg. We saw most of the sights of the city and at the end of the day we drove to Walberla in Ehrenbürg, the location where we took the pictures.

Ana´s desire was pictures with her wedding dress and this made me super happy, because in weddings we never have more than 20 minutes with the couple to take pictures like that.

We arrived at the location after about 30 minutes by car and a 10-minute hike. I was so excited to be able to photograph at that place!

We started the session at 7:00PM. It was summer in Germany and the sun sets after 9pm. Enough time to photograph with that wonderful natural light. The sun seemed like it was never going to set. Amazing!

After the session we went out to have a delicious German beer with typical food.

We would to thank those two dear ones that we will remain forever in our hearts and memories.

Listen to some music. Enjoy it!
