BEHIND THE LENS

Hello, I'm Ayla Paul, a professional photographer based in Leipzig, Germany, offering my services worldwide. Photography has been my passion since 2014, and I truly love what I do - capturing beauty and creating art through my lens.

REAL STORIES, REAL FEELINGS 

I specialize in wedding & fashion photography.

 

Describing my style as elegant and classic, there's an incorporation of a subtle touch of fashion and chic.

 

I love going for aesthetics which will look timeless after many years. Instead of complicated pictures, I focus on simplicity and clarity, but I also tend to add a bit trendy and experimental elements.

MY PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE

LIFE AS IT NATURALLY HAPPENS

My style of wedding photography involves guiding you when necessary and always watching for natural moments. Your wedding day won’t feel like a photoshoot for most of the time. After many years of photographing weddings, I’ve developed a great sense for catching meaningful moments so you can enjoy your day without worry.

 

As a result, you will get natural and documental pictures in a mix together with great posing photos.

A FEW KEY POINTS REFLECTING MY VALUES AND APPROACH:

1. CUSTOMER ORIENTATION

I will guide you through the entire process to make our work pleasant and easy. Your positive experience is my priority. I speak German, English, and Russian fluently.

2. SPECIAL APPROACH

TO PHOTO EDITING

You will receive absolutely all good photos from our session without any limits. Each photo is edited individually. It requires more effort, but it gives the photos life and sincerity. I prefer a neutral color correction for photos, along with light and natural retouching. You won't need to choose a specific number of photos for retouching – all your shots will already be retouched.

3. POSING ASSISTANCE

If you have no experience in photoshoots, don't worry. I will help you feel comfortable in front of the camera and enjoy the shooting process.

4. BACKUP METHODS

Can you imagine never seeing your photos due to camera or memory card issues? This can happen to any photographer, regardless of the equipment's cost.

 

I do everything possible to prevent this. To avoid data loss, each photo taken with my camera is saved twice, using two different memory cards. In case of a primary camera malfunction, a backup camera is always available to continue shooting.

 

After the photoshoot, your pictures are copied to five different locations to ensure maximum security. This approach guarantees that your photos will be saved and accessible, regardless of potential technical issues.

5. SPEED, QUALITY & PRESENTATION

I use high-quality equipment and software to optimize and speed up photo editing. You will receive your photos much earlier than expected. The photos will be beautifully presented on a personalized website, where you can easily view, download, and share them with family and friends.

5 FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:

1. I don't like or drink coffee and also any fizzy beverages.

2. My primary education is in art and design, and my secondary education is in interior architecture. I've spent my entire life working in creative fields.

3. I started my first business by selling glass art at the age of 14.

4. My favorite accessories are earrings. I bring myself a new pair from local jewelers on every trip.

5. I have a keen interest in fashion and style, even undergoing training as a stylist. This shows in my photography.
