“There are some people in live that make you laugh a little louder, smile a little bigger and live just a little bit better.”
Last year we had the pleasure to do some shoots at the beautiful island Mallorca and combined this with a little get away with some really beloved friends. We already know them since a couple of years and really enjoy hanging out together.
“Together is our favorite place to be.”
Last spring we had the pleasure to spent time at our most favorite islands ever…Mallorca. And as you know already, there is almost nothing better for us than combining travel, family and “work”. Stefanie, Markus and their sweet little kids came to us to capture their love as a family and we had such a pleasure to do so. What a wonderful (and beautiful) little family. <3
Two very kind people said yes – at one of the most romantic sceneries you could ever dream of.
Lago di Garda, Italy. A place Martina and Robert loved for going on vacation has now become their dream wedding destination too.
“Traveling with those we love is home in motion.” Leigh Hunt
Such a true quote.
We had this feeling already when we were traveling the world with just the two of us but its but its even more meaningful since we are a little family. This summer we had next to Mallorca, Italy, Croatia and other beautiful countries, the chance to visit Portugal again.
Hi and thank you for stopping by at our blog.
Last year we have been traveling like crazy from April to November and of course we had our cameras on the road too.
Besides mobile phones we also carry the “big ones” every once in a while to capture us as a family and casing the beautiful light in other countries.
Yesterday we had a very nice little family and friends BBQ at one of the most beautiful spots in Carinthia. It is overwhelming how much love we received for our wedding in New Zealand over the last couple of month and eloping was simply the best idea we have ever head. But truth to be told, we missed our close people and thus we wanted to party with them as well.
About three years ago, we have done a trip around the world and totally fell in love with this wonderful country. (Postings from the past, here and here) New Zealand reminds us a little bit of Austria with the difference that a deep blue ocean is attached to the endless of beauty in the nature.
We were very sure that we will be back one day and once we started planning our recent trip around the world, we knew we want at least another month of traveling in one of these cool camper vans.
We just “landed in Vegas for the biggest wedding photography convention (WPPI) and ready for some great new inspirations and meeting old and new friends! But before that, we gotta get this blog post finally up in the air.
WOW, it really took us so long but believe it or not, traveling sounds like a lot of free time but you end up doing something all the time. And between India and now there happened so many things we hardly can process everything. AND: we got married too…but more about this very soon, it was more than wonderful!
If you want more real time story telling, go and follow us on Instagram, as we post daily pictures of our trip there. Carmen’s personal account and the official Carmen and Ingo account.
Hello everyone!
We hope you made it safe and sound to the great 2014 and took it with full swing. For those of you following us on Facebook or Instagram (maybe twitter) have seen that we left for South Africa the end of November to enjoy a little rest and relaxing after our most intense year ever. 2013 has been incredible and we would like to thank all of you for being with us and supporting our work. Family, friends and clients: THANK YOU!!
Earlier this year we came across this startup company from Valentin and Vitali through our friend Steffen – Stilpirat – Böttcher called Compagnon Bags. We were hooked from the first moment and we contacted them right away.
We have been looking for nicer camera bags other than these big black bulky things screaming “look-i-have-10k-euros-photo-gear-in-here” for a very long time.
Boy, looking at these photos from our recent trip to the USA makes us want to go back or just call our friends for a small chat. It was such a great and funny time. During the stay in Las Vegas we spontaneously decided to head out to the desert to do a fun shoot with all of us. You know, just everyone poses for the other one and it’s basically hanging out with our buddies and enjoying this gorgeous light in Nevada.
We love these guys so much and we cannot wait to meet them again. Also Ingo enjoyed having so much quality time with his long time buddy and best friend and all around nice guy Stefan from Stinglight Photography. He took the photos from us both. Thanks dude for everything!!
Just in time when the sun is coming back here in our area we are heading out of town to enjoy even a little more sun. California (and Nevada) is calling.
Some of you might know that we went to world’s largest wedding and portrait photographer convention last year: WPPI – we have blogged about this here and HERE.
This part of the states isn’t totally new to us. We have spend almost three weeks during our trip around the world in 2011. In case you would like to see what we discovered back then, here are the postings about this. Oh and HERE.
As mentioned in the previous post about the after wedding shoot in Thailand (in case you missed it here is the wonderful couple we photographed at the beach) we have had some “rest and relax” in the sun last month.
To sum this up with one word: AMAZING!
If you follow our blog you might have noticed, that if we are on our travels we always try to dive into the culture and are out in the field for great stories and portraits. That’s travelling. We totally distinguish between a vacation and travelling. Why? Because it simply is a total different approach for us. You might guess where we are heading with this. We have had a REAL vacation this time. One thing was on the 2-do-list: Don’t move too much ;-)
We are in the middle of high peak wedding season right now. Lotsa work around and also kinda stressful for both of us. Times like that make us thing back to our travels and realize (remember) how grateful we should be for our lives. All plays well right now here in our world. We are half time through of our first year of full time biz owners and still very happy with the decision.
First of all we would like to thank you all so much for the overwhelming response to Kismets and Nitins wedding. It’s been a page view record for us again and we loved all your comments here and on Facebook and Twitter. We are speechless! Thank you all so much from the bottom of our hearts!
Chances are that we are repeating ourselves here but we are in love with this country. Ever since we visited it first, back in 2005, there is a special chemistry between us and India. The people, the nature, the smells, the traffic just everything is so different from back home or any other places we have seen so far.
When we got hired for the wedding we did not waste a second to clear out the calendar for at least a month in order to spend some time here.
Well you might say, haven’t you just been on a 6 month vacation? Then let us tell you, that our trip around the world was not just a super long vacation and second, it’s almost a year that we came back from that trip.
So we decided before our busy summer is starting in April, we would like to recharge batteries and combine once again what we do love the most: photography and traveling.
