About Dennis Heck

Natural moments are more powerful than perfect ones. That’s what I believe, and that’s how I work.

You’re planning a day filled with meaning, emotion, and love. You want someone who truly sees that. Not just the big, obvious moments, but the quiet, unspoken ones too. The glances, the laughter, the unexpected tears. That’s what I look for.

I’m a wedding photographer based in Hamburg, and I focus on capturing your day as it really unfolds. Nothing posed, nothing staged. Just honest images that reflect your story with all its emotions and energy.

I believe your memories should feel real when you look back at them. That’s why I work with a calm and observant approach. I stay close without getting in the way, always ready to catch the little moments that often mean the most.

My love for photography began when I was nine. My grandfather gave me a film camera, and with it, I learned to slow down and see the beauty in small details. I still carry that mindset with me today, and I often bring the timeless look of film into my work, both digital and analog.

But more than any technique, what matters most is the feeling. I want you to look at your photos and feel connected. Not just to what happened, but to how it felt to be there, in that exact moment.

If you care about natural photography that tells your story in a real and emotional way, then we might be the perfect fit. I’d be honored to document your day.

Some facts about me

  • I’m a perfectionist… which sounds great, but trust me, it’s a blessing and a curse.

  • I have a slight obsession with bags and backpacks. You can never have too many, right?
