| Romance urbaine à Cologne

This shoot, conceived in Cologne, offers a contemporary and poetic vision of urban love. Set within the Wasserturm Hotel, a historic monument with striking architecture, and later at the Bar Botanic with its decidedly modern design, the editorial presents a subtle dialogue between heritage and avant-garde. The textured walls and strong lines of the Wasserturm create a dramatic backdrop, while the intimate and graphic atmosphere of Bar Botanic adds a contemporary, cosmopolitan touch.
We played with soft natural light, motion, and the energy of spontaneous captures. Added to this are haute couture influences: direct flash, bold poses, sculptural silhouettes, and graphic compositions. The result is a visual narrative that is raw, sincere, and editorially sophisticated.
Styling, intentionally minimalist, focuses on clean lines, subtle details, and atmospheric lighting. This controlled aesthetic allows the architecture, textures, and overall mood to fully shine. The final outcome is a modern, elegant, and intensely emotional wedding editorial, where every image tells the story of timeless love at the heart of a vibrant city.
