As a wedding photographer in Frankfurt I can tell you a lot about getting married and celebrating in this beautiful city. Affectionately known as "Mainhattan", Frankfurt am Main is not only the largest city in Hesse, but also the place where most Hessians get married. No surprise because Frankfurt is a good choice for weddings and wedding photos.
As a city of contrasts, it exerts a tremendous fascination - high-rise canyons made of glass and steel on one side, narrow streets and half-timbered houses on the other. Industrial flair alternates with Wilhelminian style villas and "Büdsche". International city and center of the banking industry and yet somehow just a village.
And in between there always flows the river Main.
And the possibilities to get married in Frankfurt are as varied as the city itself.
Whether small and cozy or large and impressive - Frankfurt and its districts offer enough dream locations for a civil, church or free wedding ceremony. And afterwards you can celebrate wonderfully in the countless cafés, bars and restaurants and many other great wedding venues. The skyline shines above everything. There is something for every wedding and every taste. In addition, you are sure to find the right wedding photographer here.

If you feel like having a coffee (a virtual one if necessary) and have a chat about getting married in Frankfurt, contact me! Together we can see whether we fit together and what can be done at your wedding in terms of wedding photos - no matter what plans you have.
Are you getting married somewhere else? Doesn't matter either! I like to be everywhere in the Rhine Main Area and all over Germany for you - and of course in Ireland or the rest of Europe. Just get in touch!
There are some really great locations for your wedding in Frankfurt. The classic is likely to be a civil wedding in the Römer or in the Bolongaropalast in Höchst. Both are surprising with the fact that as a wedding location they are so completely different from what one might assume from afar. All around there are countless possibilities for wedding photos literally just waiting to be used as backdrop.
Whatever you have planned, as a wedding photographer in Frankfurt you don't have to worry about the right motifs for wonderful wedding photos.
The Wedding Rooms
Both in the Römer and in the Bolongaropalast, weddings are part of the day-to-day business, i.e. civil weddings are possible there practically every day throughout the year. In the palm garden, in the Nikolauskapelle and in the town hall Seckbach weddings are only possible on selected dates - in the palm garden e.g. only on Fridays and only from May to September. You can get detailed information at the registry office of the city of Frankfurt.

The most Beautiful Wedding Venues in Frankfurt
Frankfurt is also a great place to celebrate a wedding and the list of potential locations for the wedding reception is practically endless. From a beach bar on the Main quay, fine cuisine on a ship, industrial locations in the harbor district to chic hotels, small bars and great restaurants. Frankfurt is not a town and so there is something here for every wedding and every taste.
Here you will find my personal favorite wedding venues as well as some other tips where it is wonderful to get married and celebrate in Frankfurt - all from the point of view of a wedding photographer, of course. Because what would your wedding in Frankfurt be without the right wedding photos !?
As different as these five wedding locations are, they all offer great food, professional service and an individual ambience. They also offer perfect options for wedding photos. The rest is what you make of it.

Jessica & Martin
Wir haben eigentlich nur einen guten Hochzeitsfotografen gesucht, der nicht 08/15-Bilder macht, sondern welche mit Wiedererkennungseffekt für den schönsten Tag unseres Lebens. Dann haben wir aber einen neuen, sehr sympathischen Freund gefunden, der unsere Hochzeitsfeier enorm bereichert hat. Und geniale, stimmungsvolle und inspirierende Fotos, die uns immer wieder zum Träumen bringen, haben wir auch bekommen!
Nora & Marc
Wir lieben die Fotos unserer Hochzeit! Dirk ist ein super Fotograf - sehr flexibel und wahnsinnig nett. Das war uns neben der Fotos besonders wichtig, denn gerade der Fotograf begleitet einen an solch einem Tag ja besonders intensiv. Dirk agiert dabei immer unaufdringlich im Hintergrund - oft merkt man gar nicht, dass er Fotos schießt! Wir können ihn bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen und würden jederzeit wieder buchen!
Caro & Malte
Lieber Dirk,
nach der Hochzeit meiner Schwester vor 5 Jahren war ich schon in Deine Fotos verliebt. Und als es nun auch bei mir soweit war, war klar: Du als Fotograf oder keiner!
Was soll ich sagen!? Wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Tolle, emotionale und unfassbar schöne Bilder. Voller Leben, Liebe, Licht und Lachen! Einfach toll! Danke!
