About Konrad Brattke

Konrad Brattke

Documentary Wedding Photographer

I specialize in capturing the real, candid moments of your wedding day. My approach is simple: blend into the background so you can stay fully present. Clients describe my presence as calm and grounding. While I capture every key highlight, I move fluidly to preserve those genuine, unscripted moments you might miss. Beyond the camera, my goal is to keep your day completely stress-free—from organizing family portraits to keeping your timeline running smoothly.

With over 300 weddings documented, I’ve developed an intuitive knack for anticipating special moments before they unfold. Years of experience have taught me to focus on what truly matters: the spontaneous, genuine laughter shared between you and your guests. I’m here to capture the heart and soul of your celebration as it naturally happens.

    Awesome photographer

    We loved working with Konrad as the photographer for our wedding! He was a prompt and clear communicator and was on time delivering the photos a few weeks after the event in a nicely organized online gallery. The photos look great! Konrad did an excellent job capturing portraits of all our guests and generally using a documentary style to capture the whole evening. He was also a chill guy and really easy to work with.

    Talented, friendly and affordable

    We cannot say enough good things about Konrad and his incredible work on both our engagement shoot and our wedding day! From the very first consultation, it was clear that he was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about his craft. He took the time to understand our vision for photography and delivered beyond our expectations—without breaking the bank! After our engagement shoot he surprised us with a behind the scenes video of our day and we were sold on adding the video option to our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, he was calm, organized, and made us feel so comfortable. His attention to detail was amazing, capturing all of the candid moments, the beautiful portraits, and even the small, intimate touches we didn’t notice ourselves. He managed to blend seamlessly into the background while still getting the most stunning shots. What really stood out to us was his ability to balance both photography and videography without sacrificing quality in either area. The photos are breathtaking, and the 4 minute wedding video perfectly tells the story of our day, with all the right moments captured in the most beautiful way. We were also impressed with how quickly he turned around our photos and video—it didn’t take long to relive those precious memories! All of this came at a price that was surprisingly reasonable, especially when you consider the high level of service and talent he brings to the table. We truly feel like we got the best of both worlds: top-tier photography and videography at a price that fit our budget. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only meet your expectations but exceed them, we highly recommend Konrad. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

    Groom

    We picked Konrad because his candid shots were absolutely outstanding. Neither one of us really cared too much about formal portraits, so we thought he'd be perfect. Little did we know how skilled he is at turning even boring staged photos into really beautiful shots. He kept us relaxed, directed us well, and was super efficient. We barely noticed him throughout the event as he snuck around taking pictures and the shots did not disappoint. Our friends remarked that he was truly all over the place, doing the work of multiple people. If you want someone who will respect what you're looking for and produce works of art for a reasonable price, Konrad is the way to go.

    Wedding photographer

    We hired Konrad as our wedding photographer and it was an excellent experience. Konrad arrived to the venue on time, we discussed the layout and went to shoot photos. Kind listened to our vision and the photos reflected his expertise. We were sent a few photos the night of and within a week after our wedding received a bunch of photos, with the remainder of our photos return within a month since our wedding date. We highly recommend Konrad !!!

    5 star!

    Konrad was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From start to finish, including a postponement, he made everything seamless and was so incredibly accommodating. In addition to being amazing to work with, we are blown away by our pictures from our wedding. I highly recommend Konrad Brattke Photography!

Real wedding inspiration featuring Konrad Brattke

Show all photos
Absolutely. Editing and curating your images is where the magic truly comes together. My goal is to deliver vibrant, crisp photos that bring your memories back to life. I put my personal stamp on every image in your final gallery, pairing unobtrusive storytelling with polished visual quality so your photos look naturally beautiful for years to come.
Yes! I offer a 1–2 minute highlight video. Rather than full-length coverage, this is a fast-paced, cinematic recap of your day’s best moments—from key highlights to candid guest interactions—set to music. It gives you a quick, beautiful way to relive your wedding and share the memories with family and friends.
Full galleries are delivered via an online gallery within 4–6 weeks of your wedding date. To hold you over while I edit the full set, I'll send over previews within two weeks so you can share your first official photos right quickly.
Generally, you can anticipate about 40–80 edited images per hour. Since every wedding is unique, the total depends on your specific timeline and event details. I don't put a strict limit on what you receive—if a moment is beautiful, candid, and authentic, it goes in your final gallery!
Yes, I carry full commercial general liability insurance. If your venue requires a Certificate of Insurance (COI) or needs to be listed as an additional insured for your wedding day, just let me know—I’m happy to send that over to them directly!
Reliability is everything on your wedding day. In over a decade of photographing weddings, I’ve only needed a replacement once (for the birth of my daughter, planned and approved in advance with the couple). In the unlikely event of an emergency, I have a trusted network of professional peers ready to step in to capture your day, while I handle all final editing and delivery to maintain my signature style.
While 9–12 months is the standard booking window, it's not uncommon for me to book a wedding 1-2 months out. Availability depends heavily on the day of the week and time of year—June and October Saturdays book the fastest—so reach out anytime to see if your date is available!
