Your New York City Elopement Photographer
photographer //
christmas FANATIC //
new york city lover //
My adventure begins in an itty-bitty village in the northwest of Germany. A beautiful place. So beautiful that it inspired musicians to write songs about it. Together with my parents and two younger siblings I grew up on a working farm. Raised on beer, brats, and soccer I graduated as an Architect from the University of Applied Sciences. New York City became home at 29 for an internship in one of Soho’s architectural practices.
And it didn’t take long until I fell in love with a girl named Jackie. It was a real-life movie moment where my world turned upside down. And it turns out, that cute redhead’s world turned upside down too. –She is the best thing that could have happened to me.
(Have a look how, when and where I "popped the question" to Jackie.)
Fast forward two years and we’re tying the knot in our tiny church in Germany. First, we adopted a puppy. Then, a couple years later, our daughter Lucy arrived, completing Team Reinking. .
I studied photography while still working as an architect in the Big Apple. I didn’t realize it at first, but it turns out, the two are intertwined for me. Light and shadow appear differently when I capture images and the leading lines play a big role in my art. Combine that with my love of capturing emotions and human beings like you, and you end up with genuinely one-of-a-kind wedding photography.
I’m ready to capture your love story, your hand-squeezes and secret smiles, against the backdrop of the best city in the world. Are you game?
This page might be about me, but it’s you that we’re really here for. Giving you your best day ever, with gallons of personality and not a drop of stress, right here in New York City – that’s what I’m all about. I create authentic images that capture not just the visuals, but the feelings. And I do it with all the love and laugher you’d want for your wedding day, from sun up to starry skies. Unscripted & genuine.
Trust is at the heart of every relationship, and as your elopement photographer it’s no different. Love is love, science is real, black lives matter, all bodies are beautiful and all beliefs are valid. I can’t wait to discover what makes you, you.
01 - My FAMILY is my 'SUPERPOWER'.
02 - I’m an ARCHITECT turned ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER.
03 - I'm a sucker for good British crime shows, Broadchurch anyone...?
04 - My daughter LUCY and I are kind of a big deal on TikTok.
05 - I live in New York City but my heart belongs to the beaches of the Baltic Sea in Germany.
06 - Most life lessons, I learned from the best movie ever made…GHOSTBUSTERS.
07 - I'm a total THEATER buff. It’s easy when you live in NEW YORK CITY!
08 -What happens at DISNEY, stays at DISNEY.
09 - I celebrate Christmas 365 days a year. No joke.

We are so excited to officially launch the Stress-Free NYC Elopement Blueprint! 🥂🗽(link in bio)
After helping over 1,200 couples get married in New York City, we realized almost everyone has the exact same 4:30 AM panic about timelines, marriage licenses, and where to actually begin.
It’s not that the process is complicated—it’s just that no one explains it in the right order. So, we fixed that. We took our decade of insider knowledge and turned it into a simple, step-by-step roadmap.
You can grab your copy right now at the link in our bio!
✨ P.S. TO OUR CURRENTLY BOOKED COUPLES: Put your wallets away! You get this entirely for FREE as part of the Jackie & Sascha family. Just send us a quick DM or email, and we’ll send your VIP access straight to you!

You don’t have to choose between classic and fun.
Tiffany & Nat did both.
NYC icons like the Public Library, Grand Central, and Top of the Rock…followed by skeeball, air hockey, and a full-on celebration at Dave & Buster’s.
Turns out, the best sessions happen when you stop choosing and just do what feels like you.
👉 Take a look: https://love.saschareinking.com/pre-wedding-photo-session-dave-busters-nyc-tiffany-nat/
May I introduce to you, the funniest, the cutest, the most talented person and my favorite officiant in all of New York City. And also the person who somehow agreed to marry me, so clearly, she demonstrates excellent judgment. Hire her immediately!! 😂
