To be honest, I am not really an expert if it comes to shoes what is probably because I am a man. I am owning more cell phones than shoes and need to buy the latest model as soon as it has been announced. On the other side, I am fascinated by the wide variety of today’s elegant bridal shoes and every wedding is a new challenge for me to put those wedding shows in the right place to get some attracting pictures. Below you’ll find some nice examples of the second most important accessories for a wedding – besides the wedding rings

Hochzeitsfotos in Nürnberg und Fürth. Das wunderbare Hochzeitsfest von Janine und Leonardo im Logensaal Fürth

International Wedding Photographer Thomas Riess - Fotograf Hochzeit — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:16:35 +0000

Im Juli des letzten Jahres haben wir die Hochzeit von Janine und Leonardo begleitet. Der Hochzeitstag des symphytischen Brautpaares begann schon sehr früh am Morgen und auch wir fanden uns bereits um 10.00 Uhr morgen im Beauty Salon ein um die ersten Impressionen beim Hairstyling einzufangen. Danach machten wir einen fotografischen Abstecher ins private Reich von Leo. Auch hier waren die Hochzeitsvorbereitungen bereits in vollem Gange und nach dem Leo und sein Vater angekleidet waren, eilten wir zurück ins Hotel um die verbleibende Zeit vor der Trauung mit der Braut zu verbringen. Das Brautpaar wurde dann am Nachmittag in der monumentalen Elisabethkirche in Nürnberg getraut. Dieses klassizistische Bauwerk bot eine unvergleichliche und überaus beeindruckende Kulisse für die Hochzeitszeremonie. Nach der Kirche legten wir einen kurzen Zwischenstopp ein um die Hochzeitsportraits zu fotografieren bevor wir uns dann zum Logensaal in Fürth aufmachten wo die bereits anwesenden Hochzeitsgäste schon sehnsüchtig auf das frisch vermählte Brautpaar wartenden.

A short interview about my work as a wedding photographer

What’s so special about wedding photography?
I am passionate about wedding photography and it has become my professional quest to document people’s emotions in extraordinary pictures. Moving incidents are particularly abundant at weddings. Not only does it enable me to photograph the wedding couple with family and friends, it also gives me the opportunity to accompany them through the important day in a spontaneous and intuitive manner. This allows me to combine my personal motivation with a professional quest for high-quality pictures. Wedding photography continues to provide me with positive challenges, as the diversity of locations demands a great deal of professional flexibility. Numerous positive reactions from wedding couples attest to the fact that I am on the right track.

What would you consider to be the most compelling moments at a wedding?
A wedding is always comprised of a string of special moments, which all have slightly different qualities. I enjoy the quiet moments during the wedding ceremony, which are emotionally charged for the wedding couple, their family and their friends, a much as the boisterous high jinks at the wedding reception, later in the evening.

Do you prefer to employ report-style photography or portraits?
Report-style photography is obviously more prominent because I spend the day experiencing the occasion together with the wedding couple, their family and friends. However, this does mean that the portrait photography is entirely neglected. I do not photograph the wedding couple in static positions. My pictures are the products of spontaneous actions and are taken, with a good deal of enthusiasm, at exactly at the right moment. I consider it to be my professional duty to recognise the right moments and to translate them into aesthetically gratifying pictures.

What has influenced your particular style?
I am interested in report and documentary photography. This kind of photography not only demands a high level of technical proficiency but also requires a sense of intuitive behaviour and the capacity to take action at exactly the right moment. These skills are not only necessary in difficult situations, however, they can also be put to good use where people come together to celebrate a joyful event. Moreover, I am always happy to cover the proceedings — passionately and professionally.

Do you offer additional options?
Couples can book the “photo booth” – a mobile photography studio – for their weddings, “trash the dress” shootings – for after the wedding, and exclusive designs for stylish volumes, coffee table books and magazine-style albums. A spontaneous “engagement shooting” can be organised for couples who wish to sample my work before the big day.

Hochzeitsfotos im Wasserschloss Dürremungenau – Die Hochzeit von Tina und Timo

International Wedding Photographer Thomas Riess - Fotograf Hochzeit — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 14:53:42 +0000

Im September letzten Jahres war mir die Ehre zu teil, die Hochzeit von Tina und Timo fotografisch zu begleiten. Wir kannten uns bereits von drei vorangegangenen Hochzeiten aus dem Familien-und Bekanntenkreis und so war es natürlich nicht verwunderlich am Hochzeitstag jede Menge bekannter Menschen dort wieder zu sehen. Das junge Brautpaar gab sich in der Sankt Jakobus Kirche das Ja-Wort und wurde nach der Trauungszeremonie von einer riesigen Gruppe kleiner Kinder und vielen roten Luftballons sehnsüchtig erwartet. Zum Sektempfang lud das Brautpaar seine Hochzeitsgäste ins gegenüberliegende Wasserschloss Düremungenau. Im wundervollen Schlosshof wurde Kaffee und Kuchen serviert und kleine Pausen zwischen dem offiziellen Hochzeitsprogramm nutzen wir immer wieder für kurze Portraitsshootings mit dem Brautpaar und seinen Hochzeitsgästen. Gegen Abend machte Sie dann die Hochzeitsgesellschaft auf den Weg ins Hüttlinger um mit dem symphytischen Paar das Hochzeitsfest zu feiern.

Hochzeitsfoto – Fundstück der Woche

International Wedding Photographer Thomas Riess - Fotograf Hochzeit — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:01:51 +0000

Ich war heute damit beschäftigt, die vielen Hochzeitsfotos der letzten 6 Jahre im Rahmen einer umfangreichen Datensicherung auf neue Festplatten zu packen, als mir diese Fotos aus dem Jahre 2006 wieder aufgefallen ist. Es lohnt sich, immer mal wieder in den alten Datenbeständen zu stöbern. Oh weh, die letzten 6 Jahre sind wie im Fluge vergangen

Ich verschenke ein Braut-Portrait-Fotoshooting im März 2012.

International Wedding Photographer Thomas Riess - Fotograf Hochzeit — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:40:46 +0000

Ein wunderbares Jahr 2011 ging vor kurzem zu Ende und die Hochzeitssaison 2012 steht auch schon bald wieder vor der Tür. Vor dem eigentlichen Start möchte ich gerne die Gelegenheit nutzen ein paar fotografische Ideen umzusetzen. Aus diesem Grund verschenke ich ein Braut-Portrait Shooting welches spätestens Mitte März stattfinden sollte da ich im April bezüglich eines Buchprojektes noch mal für einen Monat nach Thailand reisen werde. Das Shooting wird überwiegend Indoor stattfinden, aber selbstverständlich sind auch Außenaufnahmen geplant. Gesucht wird hierzu eine hübsche Frau mit Brautkleid und Schleier, lange Haare wären toll, die natürlich viel Freude an der Fotografie mitbringen sollte.

Das Testshooting ist natürlich kostenlos und die auserwählte Person bekommt selbstverständlich die Bilder auch auf DVD. Das Shooting wird in der Gegend um Nürnberg stattfinden. Also Mädels, schickt mir einfach ein Bild von euch mit einer kurzen Beschreibung bis spätestens 20.Februar 2012 an info@weddingphoto-riess.com und vielleicht sehen wir uns schon bald zum Fotoshooting. Bitte habt Verständnis dafür, dass ich mich unter den Einsendern für eine Person entscheiden muss.

Ich freue mich auf eure Zuschriften und wünsche eine herrliche Zeit
Thomas Riess

Are you getting married in Thailand and looking for a wedding photographer?

International Wedding Photographer Thomas Riess - Fotograf Hochzeit — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 05:47:27 +0000

Creative wedding photography in Thailand from March 29 until second of May 2012.

Thailand is one of the most beautiful places in the world in which to experience an unforgettable wedding. I am very familiar with all facets of this fascinating country since I have been spending my winters there for several years. I am familiar with the communication conventions and idiosyncrasies specific to this country, I speak a bit of Thai and I am also accustomed to using gestures to express myself. The exotic paradise that is Thailand provides a gorgeous setting for western or Asian wedding ceremonies, romantic moments for couples or for more boisterous celebrations.

It is a pleasure for me as a photographer to be able to capture the most emotional moments of your wedding ceremony, your intimate celebration with loved ones or your jovial wedding fest in high-quality photographs at locations such as this one. Some of the most beautiful places in Thailand to celebrate your dream wedding include: Phuket, Kho Samui, Koh Chang, Chiang Mai and of course the fascinating metropolis of Bangkok. I am also available for an after wedding shooting if you would like to have some exclusive wedding portraits taken the day after the wedding or during your honeymoon.

Wedding photography in Phuket / Thailand – The tropical wedding of Seyma and Max at Trisara privat pool villas

International Wedding Photographer Thomas Riess - Fotograf Hochzeit — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:20:14 +0000

Back in June this year I received a inquiry for a wedding that was planned to happen in November at the intimate and exclusive Resort Trisara in Thailand’s south island Phuket. I have had immediately checked my travel itinerary and luckily my already booked flight to Bangkok was scheduled for November the 3rd. Checked Air Asia for a connection flight straight to Phuket and yes, I could possible arrive there in time. So I sent out my offer and after some nice conversations with Seyma regarding some specific details for the wedding a confirmation showed up in my mail account. Cannot describe how excited I was being the wedding photographer on that special day, cause Thailand is still more to me than a second home since many years.

Some month later: Arrived in Bangkok some hours too late but thanks to the highly motivated team at Air Asia I had caught the flight to Phuket and arrived late night at the airport, checked in my bungalow and felt asleep. At the very next day I took a taxi to Trisara resort to meet with Seyma and Max the happy and pleasant wedding couple from Dubai to discuss everything about the wedding day ahead.

At the final wedding day, the bridal preparations were already in full swing when I arrived at the Resort. While champagne and relaxed music provided a great atmosphere, the girls enjoyed the bridal styling in their luxury pool villa in the jungle. The wedding ceremony has became closer and finally the beautiful and charming bride was led by her proud father to the altar near the beachfront where the groom with his wedding guests already waited for the arrival of the bride. Congratulations from the wedding guest followed after a touching ceremony under palm trees and we set off to take some official wedding photos and group shoots around the resort. Before Seyma and Max later opened the dance floor to start an unforgettable wedding party, a fire show was held on the beach.
