Wedding photography and video prices
Dear couple, your wedding will surely be unique and full of excitement, different from any other wedding. Your wishes for photography and videography will be just as individual. Would you prefer photos and videos that are available quickly, perhaps to enjoy with your guests while the celebration is still going on? Would you also like 4K videos to watch later in excellent quality on your high-end monitor or television? Or perhaps you would like to create posters or large photo books, for which 24 MP photos are ideal? All of this is possible. You are very welcome to put together a photography and video package tailored to your wishes.

What exactly do we receive with wedding coverage? What do 12 MP and 4K mean?
Photos and videos can be delivered in different resolutions. Higher resolutions usually mean larger files, although file format and compression matter too. Smaller files are easy to share on social media, by email or through messaging apps. If you wish, you can receive the large files on a USB stick.
Full HD is 1,920 × 1,080 pixels (around 2 million), a common format for television, streaming and Blu-ray. 4K (UHD) is 3,840 × 2,160 pixels, or roughly four times as many. A 4K video can also play on a Full HD screen; its full resolution is visible on a suitable 4K screen.
For photos, 12 MP is generally more than enough for a sharp A4 print. 24 MP offers greater freedom for larger prints, posters or cropping. The possible print size also depends on the image and viewing distance. Both resolutions are more than sufficient for phones and ordinary monitors.
The number of images depends on your wedding. A quiet celebration might result in 300 photos and 20 short videos, while a lively wedding with lots of guests might produce 1,200 photos and 200 clips. These are examples, not fixed promises. I don't count shots; I capture what tells your story.
Are the photos and videos edited?
Modern cameras already produce very good photo and video quality, so not every picture or clip needs individual editing. Where useful, I adjust exposure, contrast or colours, brighten dark scenes or convert selected photographs to black and white.
A wedding film assembled from many scenes is different: editing, dialogue, music and sound design involve considerably more post-production. That is what the CINEMA package is for.
Can we share our wishes and ideas?
Absolutely – I want you to! Your photos and videos should show you as you are and how you want to be seen, not just a photographer's ideas.
That is why meeting in person matters so much to me. It helps me understand whether you are lively or more reserved, which people and moments matter most to you, and how much time you would like to set aside for photos.
Can our guests see or download the pictures too?
Of course. Once the images are available in your private client gallery and you share access, your guests can view and download them too. It is often great fun around the time of the celebration – and I love seeing the pictures reach people quickly.
If easily shareable photos and clips are your priority, you can choose your coverage accordingly without booking every high-resolution extra.
What happens if the photographer is ill on our wedding day?
Photography keeps me young, and of course I hope to be fit and well on your wedding day. Even so, I take this possibility seriously.
My wife is also an experienced photographer, and I know other photographers who may be able to step in. If I really cannot attend, I will inform you immediately and work with you to find a replacement. I cannot, however, guarantee a substitute.
What happens if equipment fails?
In 30 years of photography I have never had a camera or memory card fail, and I have never dropped a camera either. But I would never rely on that luck for your wedding.
That is why I work with two cameras, each recording simultaneously to two memory cards. This considerably reduces the risk of data loss, even though no system can eliminate every risk.
What if the weather is bad or the schedule changes?
There is no such thing as bad weather, only … You probably know the saying. I bring modern and old-fashioned umbrellas as well as flashes and lighting modifiers. Some of my favourite photographs were taken in the rain.
I am also flexible when your schedule changes. I adapt to your wedding day, not the other way round. If extra hours are needed, the agreed rates apply.
Will you publish our wedding pictures without permission?
No. Before I use photos or videos from your wedding on my website, in my portfolio or on social media, I will ask you. I would be delighted to show your wedding, of course, but the decision is yours. The rights of other people pictured will also be respected.
Can we cancel our booking?
I do not believe in unnecessarily complicated agreements. If something serious comes up, you can of course cancel. I only ask that you let me know as early as possible.
We will agree on clear and fair terms for cancellation, postponement and any costs already incurred before you book.
What do you expect from us?
First of all, good spirits – and that you relax as much as possible in front of the camera. A list of your closest relatives and important friends, ideally with names and photos, would also help. That way I can learn who matters most to you before the wedding.
And if I am allowed to visit your buffet during the celebration, I can keep carrying my heavy cameras with full strength even late into the evening.
About me
My name is Bela Hertelendi. I have been taking pictures for as long as I can remember. I even built my first camera myself at fifteen. Whether that was a particularly sensible idea, I can no longer say. But my enthusiasm for photography has stayed with me ever since.
I am not exactly a youngster anymore. That has its advantages: you have seen a thing or two, you are not so easily rattled, and you know that the best moments often happen when you leave people to themselves.
I would rather observe than direct. A glance, a hearty laugh, a spontaneous hug – you cannot really plan moments like these. And that is a good thing. But when some direction is needed, for group pictures or a schedule that has gone a little off track, I can certainly take charge. Do not worry, only for as long as necessary.
Photography and visual design were once part of my professional life, too. I actually taught design and photography. But do not worry: there will be no homework or grades at your wedding. At most, a few friendly suggestions when they are helpful.
These days I enjoy having time for people and their stories. I work with experience, curiosity and a healthy dose of calm. And after all these years, it still makes me happy when an apparently ordinary moment becomes a special picture.
You will usually find me around Nagold, Calw, Herrenberg and the Northern Black Forest. Elsewhere too, of course – provided my satnav cooperates.
