Raphaela / photo & film
Based in Vorarlberg, Austria.
Available for travel internationally.
The present moment often doesn't feel like much.
But in hindsight, it's everything.
For families, couples, and brands who know these days won't last forever.
WHO AM I AND what is MY WHY
I've always been drawn to stories. To people. To the quiet, in-between moments that don't always feel significant until one day, they're what you miss the most.My work is grainy, blurry, and warm. Not because I don't know how to be precise but because I love the look and feel of old film and the nostalgia that comes with it. My work asks people to slow down. To be intentional. Enjoy this phase of life, the wedding, the children, whatever version of ‘you’ that you are in, and walk away with photos and videos to access this memory forever. my offerings for you
The Adventure Session
This is not a photoshoot but an experience. A picnic in a meadow, a bonfire by the river, an afternoon spent fully in the present with the people you love. I create and set up the scene and you simply show up and live it. The first part of our time is just getting comfortable. A few natural family moments while everyone finds their feet. Then I get out of the way. Your kids get to be feral. You get to be there with them. I have a few things up my sleeve if anyone needs a nudge but mostly, I just watch. And quietly photograph what I see.
You leave with a gallery of images or a short film that holds the feeling of that day.

Raphi. I’m watching this video you made over and over again and I’m just so touched how beautifully you captured it 🥹 I really have tears in my eyes. And you know.. this video is exactly what we were talking about last weekend- the anchor and the gate to go back in time to access the feelings we had during that weekend ❤️ Thank you so much for creating it 🥹🙌

Raphaela was truly amazing to work with. She captured our wedding day and the edits were sweet and truly encapsulated the magic of the day. We share the video with all of our family and friends and they are also blown away on how amazing our wedding day video is! She was great at communicating and getting all the big and little moments of the day. Could not recommend more.

Raphaela ist eine fantastische Fotografin! Sie arbeitet unglaublich tieffühlig und schafft eine Atmosphäre, in der man sich sofort wohlfühlt. Sie hat einfach einen tollen Blick für die Details und die echten, ungestellten Momente. Absolute Herzensempfehlung❤️

Raphaela hat das Ganze als Video begleitet und wir sind sprachlos, wie emotional und liebevoll der Film geworden ist. Jedes Lachen, jeder Krümel und jeder Blick wurde so wundervoll eingefangen – eine Erinnerung fürs Leben!

If something here felt familiar like a quiet recognition of something you've been looking for, I'd love to hear from you.
No pressure. Just a conversation.
