Kerstin Auer Photography

ABOUT

Kerstin is a photographer and creative director whose work centres around identity, emotion, and the power of being seen. Her imagery, quiet, intentional, and deeply human, sits at the intersection of fine art and editorial storytelling.

For more than a decade, she has documented love stories around the world, creating heirloom portraits defined by honesty, softness, and light. Her work, featured in leading bridal publications, reflects an intuitive understanding of people and the stories they hold.

Today, Kerstin also partners with founders and small businesses to craft visual identities with depth and clarity. Her brand editorial sessions focus on intention over aesthetics, guiding clients toward imagery that communicates who they are, not just what they do.

Using both analogue film and digital formats, she leans into texture, atmosphere, and natural light to build images that feel grounded and timeless.

Wherever she works on a mountaintop, by the ocean, or in a studio, her approach remains the same. To create imagery that resonates, reveals, and endures.

TURNING your UNIQUE VISION into TIMELESS MEMORIES

Photography for me is not just an artform but a way of living and a way of expressing myself through experiences. Capturing big life events and the beauty and essence of real human connections, is what makes my team and I travel the world creating modern, chic and heartfelt images for our clients.

Forming a connection with a person or couple is very important to me. Embracing the natural and organic moments with some gentle direction, I capture people’s real and authentic emotions creating heirloom imagery lasting a lifetime.
