"ADLER KERNKAMP IS BRILLIANT IN THE UNIQUE WAY HE EXPRESSES HIS
PHOTOGRAPHY, WITH A TIMELESS ABILITY TO TELL STORIES IN A UNIQUE AND EXTRAORDINARY WAY"
Amanda Cartes - Wedzine Editor
MY APPROACH
I don't believe in forcing perfection or controlling every frame.
Certain moments hold their own quiet brilliance, best left exactly as they unfold. Others require a touch of subtle artistry, a gentle nudge, a refined perspective to elevate what is already there.
Knowing precisely when to observe and when to intervene is at the heart of what I do.
WEDDING COLLECTIONS
How we capture your world
My collections are designed around two ways of telling a story: the wedding day itself, or the celebration as it unfolds across an entire weekend.
Each follows the same approach, leaving space for moments to happen naturally while making room for those that deserve a little more intention.
Every celebration is documented beyond the obvious, from the main story of the day to the moments happening quietly around it, alongside a considered series of portraits of the people at the heart of it all.
For celebrations that extend beyond these collections, a tailored proposal can be created around the scale, rhythm and character of the occasion.

FAQ
HOW FAR DO YOU TRAVEL AND HOW ARE LOGISTICS HANDLED?
We are based in Portugal and document celebrations worldwide. Whether hosting a multi-day event in Lake Como or the French Riviera, an intimate gathering in New York, a countryside estate in the Cotswolds, or a destination celebration in Kyoto and Bali. We travel wherever your story takes us.
To ensure flawless execution, travel logistics for international destination weddings, including travel coverage, accommodations, and local transportation are provided by the client or coordinated through your wedding planner.
To allow for venue scouting, lighting tests, and complete peace of mind, we require our team to arrive two days prior to the first event and depart two days following the final celebration.
HOW DO YOU APPROACH THE WEDDING DAY?
Our philosophy balances candid documentation with quiet, editorial direction. We believe the most powerful imagery comes from allowing moments to unfold naturally without forcing poses or staging scenarios.
When subtle guidance is needed, such as during portraits or detail compositions, we provide gentle, effortless direction so you look natural and feel completely at ease.
DO YOU COVER MULTI-DAY CELEBRATIONS?
Yes. Multi-day coverage allows us to capture the full narrative of your wedding weekend, from welcome dinners and rehearsal gatherings to post-wedding brunches.
Documenting the atmosphere across several days provides a richer, more complete visual archive of your celebration and the guests who shared it with you.
HOW MANY HOURS OF COVERAGE ARE INCLUDED ON THE WEDDING DAY?
Exceptional events should never feel rushed or dictated by a rigid clock. To capture the entire narrative naturally, from final preparations to the energy of the late-night party. Our main wedding day coverage is generously designed for up to 12 hours.

HOW MANY CELEBRATIONS DO YOU ACCEPT EACH YEAR?
To maintain an uncompromising level of presence, creative devotion, and personal attention for every couple, we accept a maximum of 10 to 12 commissions per year.
Intentionally limiting our calendar ensures that we never approach a wedding with fatigue, allowing us to invest the deep artistic focus and care your celebration deserves from the initial consultation to the final delivery.
