Julian Ruppert Photography

Hi, I'm Julian — a family and wedding photographer based in Schwäbisch Gmünd. As a father of five, I understand the beautiful unpredictability of family life. I aim to capture those authentic moments: genuine looks, small gestures and the unfiltered togetherness that defines your family. My style centers on calm, patience and an eye for the little, sincere moments. I prefer shooting outdoors in natural light or relaxed sessions at your home — places that mean something to you. That way, the photos don’t just look beautiful; they transport you back to the scent, warmth and feeling of that day. What sets my approach apart is that I’m not after staged poses but real life. I’ll guide gentle prompts, encourage natural movement and capture reactions — often the best shots happen when you don’t notice the camera. I work predominantly with available light and a subtle, timeless editing style that emphasizes mood and emotion. The process is simple: we meet and talk — preferably over a coffee — plan locations and your ideas, then enjoy a relaxed session. On the day I focus on creating a comfortable atmosphere for everyone. Afterwards I carefully select and edit the images so your memories are preserved clearly and timelessly. Besides family sessions, I also offer children, baby and newborn photography upon request. If you have special wishes or want a bespoke concept — for example a lifestyle family reportage at a meaningful location — I’m happy to travel with you to capture those moments. If natural, emotional family photos in and around Schwäbisch Gmünd are what you’re after, I’d love to meet and create lasting memories with you.
