Once upon a time .. In the picturesque land of Innsbruck, where life felt like a Studio Ghibli movie, there lived a wedding photographer.

Born and raised in the Netherlands, she was often described as "exotic" by her friends, thanks to her Dutch father and her part Indonesian mom, who now lives all the way in sunny Spain. In 2018, she took a leap of faith and moved to Innsbruck in Austria, where she felt like she had finally found her place in the world. Here she discovered the true magic of life, surrounded by close friends who felt like family.

She was all about forging genuine connections and wanted couples to meet with her face to face, to share stories, dreams, and laughter over coffee, discussing how to bring their wedding visions to life.

With a heart and soul full of emotions, her arms covered in tattoos and a lust for seeing beauty in everyone, this loyal October Scorpio was dedicated of making the people around her feel seen, beautiful and understood. Her cozy apartment was a canvas for her weekly interior design experiments, and her love for dancing was nothing short of joyful, even if it sometimes came of totally goofy. She navigated the city's charming streets on her trusty orange bicycle "peaches" always with her headphones on, lost in the melodies of life.

As for her interests, they ranged from obsessing over black and white photography to old 70's punky/rock music, from the love for styling to skiing and from writing handwritten letters to her loved ones to wild karaoke nights with friends. Life for her, was a dark heavy glass of red wine, any dance floor and a heart full of positivity.

And so, Svenja’s life was a beautiful mosaic of cultures, emotions, and passions. And she was ready to capture the unique love stories of her couples, who believed in the same magic she found trough her own eyes.

MY VISUAL

DIRECTION

Follow my Pinterest board where I share my visual direction for my photography. You’ll also find general vibes I love. Things I like. Colors I create. Quotes I live by. Music I listen. Movies I watch. People I admire. Art I want and feelings I smell.

I really do believe in the power of Pinterest when used well and for the right reasons. It’s easy to follow trends and create something that has been done over and over in the wedding scene. I hope to inspire couples to push their creative vision and follow their authentic selves. I am always down and ready to brainstorm with you and help out wherever I can! Let’s go!
