I will get back to you within 3 business days. If you don't hear from me within 3 business days after submitting your inquiry, feel free to contact me directly via email: info@melindadelacosta.com. If you already know you would like to book me, or have more specific questions about the packages, I am more than happy to schedule a call or a coffee meeting if you're in Berlin to discuss things further in person.

Of course! The earlier, the better :-) We can go through the different collections that I offer, and discuss how your ideal photos and videos would look like.

I would describe my style as very light and natural. On the job, I try to be as invisible as possible, looking out for the special little fleeting moments in between all the big moments. I love fluttering fabrics, loose strands of hair, light sun rays illuminating everything, genuine emotions and gentle movements.

Since I am based in Berlin, Germany, any booking within the Berlin-Brandenburg area will already include traveling costs to and from the wedding location. For anything further, I charge an additional travel fee per kilometre.

I’m more than happy to travel worldwide for your wedding. Except the travel costs, there will be no additional costs charged. If a return journey is not possible on the same day, then I will also additionally charge the overnight stay at a nearby hotel. In the past I've been blessed enough to have accompanied weddings in Australia, the UK and the Philippines before, and I can't wait for what's to come!

Every wedding is different, so I can never give a 100% guarantee that a certain number of images that will be received in the end. Roughly estimated you will receive anything between 50-100 pictures per hour.

To secure a booking, I always charge a deposit of 25 %. This deposit is non-refundable if you decide to cancel the booking. I only agree to photograph a certain number of weddings per year, so once I sign a contract, I of course won’t accept any further wedding inquiries for that day.

Should I need to cancel the booking for any unforeseen reason that cannot be avoided, such as a sudden unexpected illness, all amounts paid will be refunded and the contract will become invalid. In this case I will do anything in my power to find an equivalent colleague to fill in for me.

For home stories or short photo shootings, like an engagement or couple session, I offer the image delivery within 3 weeks. For weddings the usual turnaround time is between 4-8 weeks.

I only shoot digitally with the latest Sony Alpha series.

I also offer wedding videos. Please contact me personally for further information.
