For Anne Aselmann and her partner Riccardo, photography has never been just a profession—it is a natural extension of the life they have built side by side. Inseparable since 2008, their seventeen-year partnership is woven into everything they create. Love, travel, curiosity, and storytelling shape not only their personal world, but also the way they approach every wedding they document.
In 2013, they founded Kreativ Wedding with a shared belief that weddings are not about performance, perfection, or spectacle. They are about people. About connection. About emotions found in glances, pauses, and unspoken gestures.
“For us, weddings are not just beautiful celebrations but heartfelt reflections of a couple’s unique bond and the connections they share with their loved ones.”
Over the years, Kreativ Wedding has evolved into a close-knit creative team comprising Anne, Riccardo, Valerie, Annika, Marco, and Anna, all working together with a unified vision. Photography and videography are created in the same refined, emotional style, ensuring a seamless visual narrative across both mediums. While Anne, Valerie, Annika, and Anna focus on photography, Riccardo and Marco lead the video side, bringing the same sensitivity and depth to motion. Riccardo is also widely recognized within the wedding videography industry for his distinctive, thoughtful approach.
Based between Düsseldorf and Tuscany, and often accompanied by their beloved cat Lucy, the team moves fluidly between countries and cultures—just as they move quietly through wedding days. Present yet never intrusive, they document celebrations with calm precision, deep respect, and an intuitive understanding of what truly matters.
With 14 years in the wedding industry, Anne’s experience is defined not by trends, but by sensitivity. Over time, Kreativ Wedding has grown into a team of like-minded creatives who share the same values: respect, calm energy, and emotional awareness.
Each wedding is approached as a unique narrative, never repeated, never staged.
Kreativ Wedding’s photography is intentionally quiet. There is no directing, no interruption — only patience and awareness.
“Rather than directing moments, we allow them to unfold naturally, focusing on real emotions, subtle gestures, and the atmosphere of the day as it truly feels.”
Their work centers on storytelling, not a collection of highlights, but a continuous emotional flow. The in-between moments matter just as much as the milestones, sometimes even more.
Visually, their images are clean and timeless, touched with an analogue sensibility. Light, composition, and honest color guide every frame.
We aim for images that feel elegant yet unforced, refined but never staged — photographs that still feel true many years from now.
Above all, respect defines their presence. Couples and guests are free to be fully immersed in the day, trusting that their story is being documented with care.
Kreativ Wedding primarily works with Sony mirrorless cameras, complemented by analogue equipment when the moment calls for it. The choice of tools is always intentional — never about technology for its own sake, but about serving the story with precision and sensitivity.
Editing at Kreativ Wedding is subtle, thoughtful, and deeply personal. The goal is refinement, not transformation.
Each image is edited individually, preserving natural skin tones, authentic textures, and the emotional atmosphere of the moment. Heavy filters and short-lived trends are intentionally avoided.
“The final result is a set of images that feel honest, elegant, and enduring, designed to age beautifully over time.”
Retouching remains minimal and respectful, focusing only on temporary distractions while leaving the essence untouched.
What Anne and Riccardo cherish most about photography is access — being invited into deeply personal moments of vulnerability and truth.
Being trusted to observe people at their most honest is something we never take for granted.
They value their quiet role — close enough to feel the emotion, distant enough to never interfere. Every wedding remains unpredictable, shaped by unique relationships and dynamics, and that unpredictability keeps their work alive.
Photography, for them, is not about aesthetics alone. It is about preserving how a moment felt.
Every collaboration begins with listening. Understanding what truly matters to a couple sets the foundation for everything that follows.
Communication stays open, calm, and unforced. Guidance is offered where helpful, and space is given where needed. On the wedding day, their intuitive presence allows moments to unfold naturally, without pressure or performance.
“In the end, it’s about trust, connection, and creating images that truly reflect who they are and how the day felt.”
Custom packages are always available, shaped around the couple’s needs rather than fixed formulas.
Their guidance is simple, yet powerful:
“Focus on each other and the people around you — not on the camera. We’ll take care of the rest.”
Presence, not perfection, creates the most meaningful photographs.
Destination weddings are a natural extension of Kreativ Wedding’s philosophy. New places bring new energy, often creating more intimate and relaxed celebrations.
Tuscany holds a special place in their hearts—for its light, landscapes, and gentle rhythm of life, yet curiosity always wins. Wherever their couples go, they are ready to follow.
What truly sets Kreativ Wedding apart is their commitment to the experience, not just the final gallery.
They believe the most meaningful moments often happen outside the schedule — in quiet corners, shared looks, unplanned laughter.
Weddings are about people and connections, not perfection. That’s where the real story lives.
Through attentiveness, respect, and emotional intelligence, Kreativ Wedding ensures that every story feels personal, honest, and deeply human: long after the day has passed.
