We have seen Gunther at other weddings before. It was clear to us from the start - if there was a photographer, it would be him!From the first meeting to viewing the photos, we can recommend Gunther without reservation, both professionally and on a human level. If we could give 6 stars or more, we would!mehr

If we could give 6 stars we would! With his relaxed and friendly manner, Gunther not only makes planning a photo shoot fun, but above all the shoot itself. We are more than satisfied with the pictures from our wedding couple shoot and are happy every time we see the pictures. Gunther has just the right eye to create fantastic photos that are even more beautiful than expected. Thumbs up andThank you very much – we are glad to know you as a friend and photographer!mehr

We are overwhelmed by Gunther's beautiful, unique and diversely conceived photos! The photos will always remind us of our day together because Gunther captured all the emotions: from getting ready, to the bride's entry, the ring exchange and the celebration (and so much more). You didn't even notice Gunther when he was taking the photos, but he was still able to capture many, especially unnoticed, moments. Despite the difficult Corona situation, he didn't miss the opportunity to accompany us. Thank you again for your company on one of the most important days of our lives. We can only warmly recommend you and, dear Gunther, would hire you again and again.mehr

Gunther took extremely good photos, very inconspicuous. You like to have him around because he works quickly, but exudes calm and is personable. The perfect wedding photographer. Because you can still tell in the follow-up how much he likes his work.The albums are designed with great attention to detail. What you can see clearly in the result. The photo albums are of a very high quality and it is a lot of fun to look through them together with family and friends.mehr

We do not have the words to describe what memories awaken Gunther's images of our wedding in us.We did not want the classic 08-15 wedding pictures and were in the right place. Of course, there are the classic images for the older generation, but with his huge talent for the interpersonal, as well as his good eye for light and perspective, our pictures have become very special.From our side so a 100% recommendation!mehr

Zuerst einmal ein kleines sorry an Gunther, das die Bewertung etwas gedauert hat, was einfach daran liegt, das ich vom Ergebnis immer noch so " geflashed" bin und einfach nicht wusste, wie ich das in Worten ausdrücken kann.Am 09.08.17 hatten mein Kumpel Ecki und ich ein Fotoshooting bei Gunther mit unseren Harley´s bei dem wir über 2 Stunden lang zusammen viel Spaß und einfach einen lockeren, unkomplizierten, sehr coolen Abend hatten - so, als wenn wir Gunther schon genauso lange kennen würden als uns selbst.Wie ich den weiteren Bewertungen entnehme, hat Gunther mit diesem Shooting auch für sich selbst etwas " Neuland" betreten, da der Schwerpunkt wohl bisher eher bei Hochzeiten lag.Diesen Bewertungen würde ich mich dahingehend gerne anschließen, weil dort eigentlich schon alles erwähnt wurde was den Menschen Gunther und seine Art zu " arbeiten" absolut auszeichnet und das mit Sicherheit " nur 5 Sterne" dafür nicht ausreichen - einfach genial der Mann.Das o.g. " Neuland" war es für Gunther anscheinend auch nicht "wirklich" ...man hatte immer das Gefühl, das er das schon 100x gemacht hat. Diese Fotos haben alle meine Erwartungen bei weitem übertroffen und ich hätte niemals gedacht, dass " so etwas" überhaupt dabei herauskommen kann.Wenn es jemandem gelungen ist die Faszination dieser Bikes, den Mythos welcher Harley Davidson Motorräder umweht und das damit verbundene " way of life feeling" seiner Biker heraus und darzustellen, dann ist es definitiv Gunther Kracke !!!Die Bilder sprechen einfach für sich und könnten auch in jedem offiziellen Harley Davidson Prospekt abgebildet sein. Vermutlich haben die nicht mal solch ausdrucksstarke....vielleicht höchstens die hübscheren " Models" :-)Die zusätzlich von Gunther designte Dia-Show, welche wir in sehr angenehmer Atmosphäre bei Ihm zu Hause ( an der Stelle auch noch einmal vielen Dank an Gastgeberin Hilke) auf einer großen Leinwand genießen durften, ist der absolute " On Top Hammer"...mit dem richtigen Soundtrack dahinter , war man gefühlt irgendwo zwischen Chicago und Santa Monika auf der Route 66...der reine Wahnsinn.Abschließend bleibt nur noch zu sagen, dass dieser Mann jeden Cent wert und unbedingt empfehlenswert ist, wenn man Fotos " für die Ewigkeit" haben möchte - von welchem Event auch immer.Vielen, vielen Dank noch einmal für alles Gunther - Top Job und noch viel, viel mehr....gerne immer wieder 🙂mehr

Das Shooting war der Hammer! Nachdem der erste Termin wortwörtlich ins Wasser gefallen war, hatten wir beim nächsten Mal perfekte Bedingungen um mit unseren Mopeds durch die Landschaft zu düsen. Einfach beachtlich war die Leidenschaft, mit der Gunther sich an das Shooting gemacht und auch auf meinen Kumpel Frank und mich übertragen hat. Somit haben wir eine für uns beide komplett neue Erfahrung machen dürfen und hatten die Möglichkeit authentisch zu bleiben und die ganze Zeit über Spaß zu haben. Gunthers Künste sind nur zu empfehlen und ich würde es für meinen Teil nochmal machen wollen.mehr

Gunther ist einfach super.Vom ersten treffen an super symphatisch. Er hat Bilder gemacht die Atemberaubend sind und uns über die ganze Vorbereitungzeit zur Seite gestanden. Er war gleichzeitig auch ein wenig Weddingplanner, mit seiner Erfahrung sind uns Dinge aufgefallen die wir einfach so nicht wussten. Ich würde ihn jederzeit wieder buchen. Absolut empfehlenswert!mehr

creative, professional, individual, personal, friend.Dear Gunther, thank you for the great vivid memories of our wedding. Your pictures have allowed us to see the day from a completely different perspective and we can relive our wedding over and over again. Many Thanks.With Gunther you get more than "just" a great photographer. With his many years of experience as a wedding photographer, he can also give very valuable tips on the daily routine and time planning and he can also help you with contacts to other service providers.His photos are creative, individual, clear, radiant, personal, timeless. With his trained eye for motifs and details, he can capture the main characters in an extraordinary atmosphere. But his camera also finds the side scenes, which makes the whole wedding look so lively when you look at the pictures. Gunther works with highly professional technology and assistance and knows how to use them perfectly, both during the shoot and in the post-processing. He puts his heart and soul into it, shows full commitment and has at least as much fun taking pictures as we enjoy taking pictures.From the first meeting to the personal delivery of the pictures, it was perfect and coherent. Gunther attaches great importance to a personal, friendly atmosphere. This makes the photo shoot a lot more enjoyable as you feel like you are with a friend. As photoshoot beginners, we were very grateful for his great guidance on poses, subjects and per activity (wedding photos with a yoga flash mob); The selection of motifs and campaigns was always tailored to us personally. At times we didn't even notice him because he stayed very discreetly in the background. This makes the images very lively and spontaneous. During the whole time we felt absolutely comfortable.We were and are more than satisfied. Our choice would always fall on Gunther.Thank you so much!!mehr

Gunther has taken the pictures of our lives. He is a great person who is with a lot of hearts in the matter and that is reflected in the pictures again. But it's not just the incredibly beautiful pictures that emerge, but also all the trappings, the advice, the reassuring words, the schedule for our wedding, the slideshow that lets us experience everything again. 5 stars are not enough!mehr

Through the recommendation of friends and after a short email contact, Gunther invited us to his home for breakfast so that he and we had the chance to get to know each other better. After all, you want to have a great day together and of course the relationship has to be right. We were able to get our first impressions of Gunther's work and looked at the numerous, high-quality and great photo albums from various shoots.At another meeting in Detmold we discussed the details of the wedding. Gunther offers extensive packages that you can choose between and combine. Before you get the right offer, you first have to make it clear to yourself what you actually want. Gunther gave us great support because it was only through his input that the first schedule for the day was created. Thanks to his experience from countless weddings, he simply knows what you need to think about and which extras need to be planned for more time. After this second meeting, we took a few test photos to get a feel for the camera. These photos were really great!We did the couple shoot before the wedding. Gunther got the best out of the castle park with his trained eye. We always felt comfortable in front of the camera, which was also due to the relaxed atmosphere. The hours flew by and what I liked as a groom was that you didn't have to pretend to take great photos. Gunther meets you exactly as you are and can capture the moments really well.At the church wedding, Gunther captured the mass excellently using different perspectives and different settings. While he was still wearing work trousers during the shoot, he was well dressed like the guests in the church and went unnoticed as a photographer, which was very important to us. We hardly saw him during the fair, but he still managed to capture everything important and the details.In the group and family photos he arranged the people well and struck the right tone. Through his manner he always managed to give people a happy face.During the celebration and after a short break, he used the time between the individual courses to photograph the rings. The photos from the subsequent party are completely different than the usual party photos. Here too, the perspective is crucial and the guests were really well met. Here too, Gunther, ever the professional, always moved almost invisibly through the room and was in no way disruptive.We had the first photos after the wedding the next day, so we already had a little something to show. The big picture was shown to us a few weeks later, again at a nice dinner, and presented in a slide show. In the end we had around 300 photos that were post-processed and hundreds more photos. You can help design the photo albums yourself and choose from Gunther's templates.Finally, we can only say that Gunther can be recommended without reservation. If things go well together, you will have a motivated and highly professional companion in Gunther on the important day. We really liked his relaxed attitude, which took away our nervousness, and also his demeanor throughout the day. The photos are not only great in quality, but also have their own look that is simply pleasing. All other additions, such as the printed photos and little niceties that he and his wife have to add, complete this great picture.mehr

While looking for a wedding photographer for our special day, we came across Gunther - among numerous other sites, of course. We liked the pictures in his gallery and Gunther's self-portrayal also seemed to indicate a likeable person.My problem: I don't particularly like being photographed and I quickly tense up when I do. That's why it was important to me to have a professional photographer by our side on this special day.The first contact was made by email, followed by a phone call and shortly afterwards a video conference. Gunther's absolute strengths were already evident in these conversations: his professionalism, coupled with a friendly and personal manner, without being too offensive. Already in these conversations we got a pretty clear picture of what we could expect if we booked Gunther as a wedding photographer.We decided to arrange an engagement shoot with Gunther in advance. This shooting confirmed our decision: Gunther's work was professional, very pleasant and we were thrilled by the pictures we received a short time later.In the time between the engagement shoot and the wedding (>1/2 year), Gunther contacted us regularly to go over the schedule and remind us of any outstanding points. Being able to draw on his know-how helped us enormously in our preparation.On our wedding day, the shoot took place before the church wedding. We had coordinated the schedule in advance and were able to visit all the planned locations in the planned order. Thanks to Gunther's excellent planning, we arrived at the church on time and relaxed.For me, the pictures in the church itself and especially the pictures of the well-wishers in front of the church are among the most beautiful and particularly touching pictures of our wedding. Gunther stayed comfortably in the background and managed to capture these emotional moments authentically.During the celebration, Gunther managed to blend in very unobtrusively among the guests and thereby take very special, relaxed pictures. Most people probably didn't even notice that Gunther had them in front of his lens. Great – this is exactly how the best pictures are created.We also booked Gunther’s photo booth – a good decision! The guests had an incredible amount of fun and the photo booth was constantly occupied.Yesterday we were able to pick up our finished pictures from Gunther and his wife Hilke. After a delicious breakfast, we sat together in front of a screen and relived our wedding day in pictures. A great experience with many small and big surprises that Gunther and Hilke had prepared for us. What a lovely idea, we really enjoyed the day.Overall, we are very happy that Gunther accompanied us on this day and can recommend him with a clear conscience. His performance goes beyond that of a photographer; he was clearly involved with all his heart and a lot of commitment in making this day particularly pleasant and stress-free for us. With Gunther at our side, we could be sure from the start that we wouldn't have to worry about beautiful pictures and wouldn't have to rely on chance or luck.mehr

Gunther was a friends' wedding photographer. When we saw your photos, we knew we wanted to have our baby bump photos taken with him. The result only confirmed this for us. The photos turned out simply beautiful. They remind us once again of the wonderful time of pregnancy. The atmosphere in Gunther's studio was very pleasant. We felt very comfortable and laughed a lot during the shoot. We would book him again at any time.mehr

While looking for a photographer who takes exceptional wedding photos, we came across Gunthers Photos. After getting to know him for the first time, we decided to hire him for our wedding and an engagement shoot.During the engagement shoot, Gunther was always able to put us in the right light and the fun wasn't lost despite the rather lousy weather. The result really exceeded our expectations.After this first shoot, we coordinated the schedule of our wedding with Gunther and were able to find suitable time slots for the various shoots as a couple, with family or with friends.Gunther's extensive experience as a wedding photographer is very helpful and gives the wedding couple additional security that nothing has been overlooked during the planning.Not only we, but also our guests were thrilled with Gunther on our wedding day. For Gunther, inconspicuous behavior in church was a given. Everyone had a lot of fun during the subsequent group photos with family and friends. During the couple shoot we were able to briefly recover from the wedding stress and draw on our initial experiences from the engagement shoot.We were able to admire the result of his work at his home a few weeks after the wedding. The images were truly stunning.After becoming parents this year, we wanted to take some beautiful pictures of our little family and our son. Here, too, we didn't want to miss out on Gunther's photos because they have an extraordinary style. The shoot with our son, who was just a few days old, in his studio in Lage was also very relaxed and the results were as expected: simply great!mehr

Hochzeitsfotograf in Bielefeld, Detmold, Lemgo
Hallo und herzlich willkommen auf meiner Homepage rund um die Fotografie in Bielefeld, Detmold, Lemgo, Herford und Lage. Seit 2008 bin ich auch bundesweit unterwegs und begleite meine Brautpaare. Mit Jülich, Kiel, Potsdam und München habe ich bereits die Republik fast komplett durchquert.
Profession und Leidenschaft sind eine explosive Mischung für emotionale Bilder. Als Peoplefotograf mit bereits vielen tausend Menschen vor der Kamera und jahrelanger Erfahrung bei Shootings könnt Ihr Eure Scheu schon vor dem Shooting ablegen. Sie wird Euch nichts bringen. Ich werde dafür sorgen, dass Ihr Euch wohl fühlt und wir sehr viel Spaß bei unserer Fotosession haben. Egal ob wir diese im Freien an einem der tollen Orte hier in OWL oder im Raum Bielefeld oder in meinem Fotostudio in Lage Lippe machen, die Chemie zwischen und muss passen. Dafür führen wir ein Vorgespräch, so dass wir gar nicht in die Verlegenheit kommen miteinander zu shooten, wenn es von einer Seite nicht passt.
Die Sportfotografie liegt mir natürlich als ehemaliger Leistungssportler ebenfalls sehr am Herzen. Gerade die extrem schnellen Bewegungen und die Herausforderung an den Sportfotografen diese einzufangen, haben es mir angetan.
Bei Urlauben in fernen Ländern liebe ich es Landschaften und Architektur zu fotografieren: ob Schottland, Neuseeland, die USA oder natürlich auch im heimischen Deutschland. Der Blick für das Wesentliche ist entscheidend.
Die Hochzeitsfotografie wird als die Königsdisziplin der Fotografie bezeichnet. Das liegt daran, dass sie fast alle Facetten der Fotografie abdeckt:
Bei Hochzeitsreportagen liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der Begleitung des Brautpaares und der Erzählung genau der Geschichte dieses einen unwiederbringlichen Tages. Dabei ist der Hochzeitsfotograf, egal, ob er in New York oder in Bielefeld unterwegs ist, immer in höchster Bereitschaft. Neben dem Wesentlichen muss er auch die vielen kleinen vermeintlichen Nebensächlichkeiten, Momente und Situationen erahnen und diese im richtigen – vielleicht nur klitzekleinen – Moment für die Ewigkeit festhalten. In der Kirche oder beim Hochzeitswalzer kann das Licht sehr knapp werden. Hier ist neben einer Top-Profiausrüstung technisches Know How und die Ruhe des Fotografen gefragt, um nicht in wichtigen Momenten am nicht vorhandenen Licht zu scheitern.
Ein weiterer Bereich, den ein Hochzeitsfotograf beherrschen sollte, ist die Makrofotografie um kleine Details, wie beispielsweise die Hochzeitsringe für das Brautpaar festzuhalten, bevor diese mit den Jahren die Zeichen der Zeit allzu klar verdeutlichen. Wer möchte schon auf einen Hochzeitsgruppenfoto viele abgeschnittene Köpfe und wenn die Gesichter dann doch voll zu sehen sind, diese verkrampft auf den Erinnerungsfotos sehen? Beim Gruppenbild und den Familienbildern ist der Fotograf als Entertainer gefordert.
Bei den Paarbildern, die in der Regel vor oder während einer Hochzeitsreportage fotografiert werden, spielt dem Fotografen in die Karten, wenn er neben People- und Landschaftsfotografie ein Auge dafür hat diese beiden Bereiche so zu verbinden, dass das vorhandene Licht perfekt genutzt wird, ohne das der Hintergrund zu einer Ablenkung im Bild führt. Wenn das Licht doch mal nicht so möchte, wie der Hochzeitsfotograf sich das vorstellt, sollte der Einsatz von Reflektor oder entfesseltem Licht trotz knapper Zeit den Bildern das gewisse Etwas geben.
Urteilt bitte anhand meiner Bilder selber, ob ich Euch als Hochzeitsfotograf in Detmold, Herford, Bielefeld oder einer anderen Stadt begleiten darf.
Neben den eigentlichen Hochzeitsreportagen biete ich Euch meinen „Fotobooth“ an – auch bekannt unter der amerikanischen Bezeichnung Photobooth oder dem denglischen Begriff Fotobox. Die Box ist für die Gäste, egal ob jung oder alt, ein absolutes Partyhighlight. Neben kabelloser Übertragung der Bilder beispielsweise mit einem Beamer auf eine Leinwand biete ich Euch optional auch eine Druckflatrate an, so dass die Gäste die selbst geschossenen Bilder direkt aus dem Photobooth drucken können. Viele meiner Paare wählen einen Doppeldruck von zwei Streifen, so dass die Hochzeitsgäste einen als Gastgeschenk mitnehmen und den anderen in ein Hochzeitsalbum samt schöner Widmung einkleben können.
Beim Vorshooting oder Engagement Shooting („Pre Wedding Shooting), können wir uns u. a. fotografisch kennenlernen und Ihr bekommt traumhafte Fotos. Da wir das perfekte Licht und Eure Wunschlocation wählen können, steht Euren Traumfotos nichts mehr im Weg.
Gerne können wir uns zu einem After Wedding Shooting in Detmold, Lemgo, Bielefeld oder irgendwo in OWL verabreden. Ich reise mit Euch auch bundesweit oder begleite Euch an einen tollen Strand.
Das sogenannte Trash the Dress Shooting muss nicht immer dazu führen, dass Ihr Euer Kleid und Euren Anzug zerstört. Wir können auch eine Mischung aus After Wedding und Trash the Dress Shooting machen, wo Ihr z. B. durchs seichte Wasser watet oder in der Brandung liegt. Alles Dinge, die vermutlich am Tag der Hochzeit nur schwer möglich sind.
Wenn Ihr Lust auf mehr habt und mich gerne als Euren Hochzeitsfotografen kennenlernen wollt, freue ich mich darauf Euch kennenzulernen. Egal, ob Ihr aus der Region Ostwestfalen Lippe anruft oder aus Hamburg, Kiel, Hannover, Potsdam, Berlin, Aachen oder München, lasst uns miteinander sprechen. Wir werden eine Lösung auch für weite Entfernungen finden.
Wenn Ihr das entscheidende Quäntchen mehr haben möchtet, dann ruft mich an.
