MEET THE ARTIST

Martin Koch

Hi, I am Martin

I capture what happens between the lines — real moments that can’t be staged and that preserve your story long after the moment itself has passed.

My photography is shaped by connection, intuition, and a sensitivity for emotions you can’t plan. This combination is what makes every wedding unique.

MY GOAL IS TO CAPTURE YOUR MOST BEAUTIFUL DAY IN A NATURAL AND AUTHENTIC WAY, SO THAT YOU CAN LATER SAY:
”THIS IS US. THIS IS OUR LOVE.”

the person

behind the lens

My journey began more than ten years ago — with one spontaneous request.
A colleague asked if I could photograph her daughter’s wedding.

I had no idea that this moment would change everything.
What started as a favor turned into a passion. And that passion became my calling.

Since 2015, I’ve photographed weddings with genuine dedication.
By now, I’ve accompanied almost 200 couples on one of the most meaningful days of their lives — across Germany and throughout Europe.

And there is still one moment that touches me every time:
when the groom sees his bride for the very first time.
Those few seconds are filled with emotion and truth — and they never lose their power.

I’ve had the opportunity to present my work in exhibitions, a feature about me was broadcast on SWR television, and I’ve received various awards over the years.
But all of that is just a frame.
What truly matters are the people who trust me — and the memories I get to preserve for them.

What drives me

A wedding day is full of energy, joy and genuine emotion.
For me, it’s something special to experience these moments so closely and to be part of an atmosphere that exists only once in this exact form.

I don’t photograph for today.
I photograph for later.
For the moment when you look back at your images and feel the day all over again — together, as a couple, and maybe one day with your children.

My approach

Wedding photography is personal.
That’s why trust is essential to me.

I bring a sense of calm that gives you confidence.
I guide you when you want direction and step back when you’re fully in the moment.

I’m attentive without being intrusive — and present exactly when a moment deserves to be captured.
After almost 200 weddings, I’ve developed a fine sense for when an important moment is about to unfold — and how to capture it in a way that gives it lasting meaning.
This experience blends with my intuition — and from that, my way of photographing emerges.
