Volker Wagner Photography

My main focus as a photographer in Wesel is on portraits and wedding reportage — areas I have pursued passionately since 2014. Working with people, whether in intimate portraits or on your big day, is always personal: I aim to build trust, capture genuine emotions and deliver images that still move you years from now. Family photography is offered as a complementary service. From calm family portraits outdoors to natural children’s photos and gentle newborn sessions, I occasionally take on family shoots to capture your shared moments authentically. I also photograph events like baptisms, communions or small children’s birthday sessions upon request. The same values apply as with my portrait and wedding work: patience, sensitivity and a relaxed atmosphere are essential to beautiful, honest photos. My process is straightforward and personal: we meet online or in person beforehand to discuss your wishes, suitable locations and whether a home session or on-location shoot fits best. On the day of the shoot, fun comes first — I give minimal direction so natural moments can emerge. Small rituals, favourite music or familiar items help children and parents relax and show true expressions. After the session I select the images and upload them to a password-protected online gallery where you can mark your favourites. I then professionally edit the chosen images and make the finished files available. Depending on the package, you will also receive your photos on a USB stick and as high-quality prints. If you know my portrait or wedding work and would like family photos, feel free to get in touch. Family photography is a valued addition to my portfolio — personal, unobtrusive and with an eye for authentic moments around Wesel, the Lower Rhine and the Ruhr area.
