We photograph weddings the way you collect flowers for a herbarium: attentively, quietly and with a note for every find. So that in forty years you still know how this evening felt.
Herbarium is a wedding photography studio in Freiburg. We cover about twenty weddings a year. No more, so that each one gets the attention it deserves.

Field notes
We looked through the gallery three times on the first evening. Each time we found something new.

Our guests still order prints today. The code is on Grandma’s fridge.

Drawer C · Process
From the first talk to the archive.
Four steps, like pressing a flower. None of them can be rushed, and that is exactly why the result lasts.
Drawer D · Questions
A field key for couples.
What couples ask us most before the first conversation.
5 keys

2aCan our guests see the pictures?
→ Yes, if you like. You pass on the access code. You hide private pictures beforehand.
2bDo you also take group photos?
→ Yes. We plan the list with you beforehand, so everything is done in twenty minutes.
