Behind the Camera

Hi, I'm Maik.

I'm a documentary wedding filmmaker based in Frankfurt, available across Germany and Europe. I know how fast a wedding day goes by. You barely notice, and suddenly it's over. What's left is only what someone captured for you. So your dream wedding doesn't turn into another polished, off-the-shelf video, it becomes an authentic film: your own film, telling your romantic story exactly the way you lived it. And that's why it matters so much to me that you feel completely comfortable on your wedding day. Otherwise, it won't be the film that truly fits you.

I travel to the lake for your wedding and film it as it really happens: the anticipation, the vows, the party under open sky. You get a film that feels like summer.

Every couple experiences this day differently: some loud and joyful, others quiet and full of tears. That's exactly why every film turns out different too. What stays the same is my promise: I'm there to capture, not to direct.
