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. .

Architecture had a huge influence on my photography

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?
