Marlene is a wedding photographer and storyteller. As the founder of Blue Elephant Photography , she specializes in authentic wedding photography featuring a modern visual style and heartfelt storytelling. Unobtrusive yet attentive, and with a keen sense for capturing moments, she tells love stories just as they feel: pure, vibrant, and above all, genuine.
From the first meeting all the way to the wedding day, she uses her wealth of experience, calm demeanor, and sensitivity to ensure that couples can let go and truly enjoy their day. Because when the chemistry is right, there’s room for lightheartedness and genuine closeness—a space where personality shines through and couples can be themselves: free, vibrant, and authentic.
Whether it’s an intimate elopement, a boho wedding, or an urban wedding: Marlene works with couples who leave conventions behind and want to tell their stories in their own way—not through perfect pictures, but with authenticity, character, and emotion. For couples who dare to be different and value modern, authentic wedding photography.

Info & TicketsWhat really matters to you when it comes to wedding photography?
For me, it’s not about a perfect schedule, but about genuine chemistry—about what happens between the moments: glances, touches, chaos, laughter, and tears. The goal is to create images in which couples recognize themselves and that feel familiar.
What makes your style of photography special?
I work unobtrusively, yet I’m very present. I mingle with the guests, observe, listen, and sense the mood. At the same time, I pay attention to details and offer small suggestions when needed. During couple shoots, I focus on movement rather than stiff poses to create images that feel lively and authentic.
How would you describe your style in three words?
Authentic. Lively. Modern.
Why is your brand called “Blue Elephant Photography”?
I’ll just say this much: a Carnival night on Valentine’s Day, a stuffed elephant, and a moment that changed everything. The blue elephant stands for coincidences that aren’t really coincidences—and for my personal love story. Of course, he has a name, but that’s our little secret. For everyone else, we’ll just call him Blue Elephant.
What do you love besides wedding photography?
My husband and our crazy journey. The ocean, nature, and the starry sky. Traveling and discovering new places, river surfing, and yoga are also part of it.
