annes life photography

annes life photography is a wedding photographer and videographer team, Anne and Benny, whose site presents them for weddings in Winterthur, Zurich and Schaffhausen and in Konstanz, on Lake Constance, in Freiburg and in the Black Forest. Anne photographs and Benny films, and couples can book them together. Their tagline is "modern, authentic, wild and free", and the pages are written in German in a warm, informal voice.

Who they are

The story is told in Anne's voice on the Winterthur page. In 2021, she writes, she turned not just a hobby but her passion into her profession, and she specializes in accompanying weddings in a reportage style. She works as a wedding photographer "nebenberuflich" (alongside another job) and says she works not only in Winterthur but "deutschlandweit", throughout Germany. Her partner Benny then joined her as a wedding videographer, and since then couples can book them "als eingespieltes Foto- und Videoteam", as a well-practiced photo and video team.

A note on the pages: the site has landing pages for Winterthur, Lake Constance and Konstanz with nearly identical text, each describing the pair as based in that place. The site itself does not give a single home town. The copyright line names Annemarie Mönch. Couples marrying in Switzerland should confirm where the team travels from, since that may affect travel costs. The footer lists the same places, from Konstanz to Winterthur, under the heading "Destination Wedding", and that list is the closest the site comes to stating a service area.

Their approach

The introduction is the same on every landing page: they specialize in documenting weddings and aim to record a wedding "so ehrlich und authentisch wie möglich" (as honestly and authentically as possible), exactly as it happened. They describe what they deliver as emotional, heartfelt photo and video documentation of the wedding.

Anne adds a personal note. Her goal is to record the day in all its uniqueness and to photograph the couple as if they had known each other forever, creating authentic, lively pictures. Her wish, she writes, is to stand by the couple on their wedding day like a good friend, to accompany them through the day, and to record real memories they will still want to look at decades later.

What they offer

The menu lists wedding photos, wedding films, couple shoots, engagement shoots and a proposal service ("Antrag"), plus an FAQ page. Photography and film can be booked together; the pages do not say whether each can be booked alone.

The wedding photo page shows two full reportages, an Indian wedding at Insel Mainau and a wedding in a Mediterranean style at Schloss Beuggen. The film page is a long list of wedding films, each titled with the couple's first names, from Nicole and Emil at the top to Sina and Pia at the bottom, and each running between about 2 and 6 minutes. The landing pages divide the work plainly: they point couples to "meinen Hochzeitsreportagen und seinen Hochzeitsvideos", her wedding reportages and his wedding videos, so the photos are presented as Anne's and the films as Benny's.

What one couple says

The one long testimonial on the site, from Toj and Nicolas, opens with "10'000 % Empfehlung!" and gives more practical detail than the rest of the site. They booked an engagement shoot with Anne first and write that she guided them through their first couple shoot with "einer gelassenen Natürlichkeit" (a calm naturalness) that gave them confidence; they had the photos before they even got home. At their July wedding, one of them writes, they were completely relaxed from the moment Anne and Benny arrived and knew nothing more could go wrong; the couple often did not know where the two were, and still found every important moment covered. They praise the first-look and couple photos and write that the team's warmth was felt by them and their guests.

On delivery, the couple report receiving the photo gallery after barely a week and the video 10 days after that. They praise the image quality of the film and say the editing and music give it "echte Kinoqualität" (real cinema quality), and that Anne managed to put the mood of the celebration and the key moments into just four minutes. They add that they would happily have watched a feature-length version. This is one couple's experience, not a published delivery time.

Contact and booking

The photo page invites inquiries for 2026 ("Jetzt anfragen für 2026"). The landing pages ask couples to send an email if they feel the team could be a good fit, and say they then discuss all the details "bei einem gemütlichen Kaffee oder via Videocall", over a coffee or by video call. The video call is the practical route for a couple planning from abroad. The site also links to a contact page and an FAQ, and to general terms (AGB).

Language

Everything on the site is in German, apart from the tagline and a few headings such as "Booking & Availability" and "Destination Wedding". The site does not say whether Anne and Benny work in English; that is a question for the first email.

What the site does not settle

• Prices and packages. None are published, for photography, film or the combination.
• Hours of coverage. Not stated.
• Standard delivery time. Only the one testimonial mentions timing.
• Base and travel. The site does not give a single home town or any travel fees.
• Language. English is not mentioned.
• Deposit and cancellation. Not described on these pages; the site links to its general terms.

Who it suits

annes life photography suits couples who want photography and a short wedding film from one pair who work together, in a relaxed, unposed style, for a wedding in Winterthur, Zurich, Schaffhausen or the Lake Constance area. The film list shows a steady record of weddings, and the one detailed testimonial describes quick delivery and a team that stays out of the way. The caveats for couples from abroad are that the site is in German, publishes no prices, and does not make clear where the team is based, so the first message should cover language, travel and budget.
