Colleen and Luke’s Wedding
This weekend I had the honor to shoot a wedding for a long time friend in the US. I’ll be posting some pictures here over the next few days.

Trip to the Cold War Air Museum
I have been quite busy recently… I am in the US for a few more days and I had the chance to go to the Cold War Air Museum the other day with Miguel Relayze – http://www.wix.com/relayze/miguelrelayze… here are a few pictures from that trip! (p.s. Thanks to Miguel and Jon Boede for the chance to shoot!)

Its been awhile!
Well once again it has been a long while since I have posted any updates… I have been busy, thats for sure!
One piece of news that you may have already seen on my website is that I have my new logo!
Also, my business cards are finished and they look great thanks to Kathi, my graphics designer and to all of you that I have asked for feedback from!
Another piece of great news is that I currently have a wedding booked next month! It is going to be a great wedding that I am really looking forward to with a chance to do some shooting in the Englischer Garten in the morning. In the evening the reception and dinner will be at the Palmenhaus in the Schloss Nymphenburger grounds, which promises to be great fun!
Finally, here are a few photos (posted from my Flickr account) of things that have been going on over the past month…

April Update
It has been a while since I last posted anything, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been doing anything! I have finally finished registering with the different bureaucratic offices. I almost have a new logo, which I will reveal very soon, after the logo is done I’ll have business cards made and I’ll start doing some advertising around town!
I have done a few CV photo sessions recently, which has been good. Business is slowly picking up. It is not doing too bad, considering I haven’t really done much advertising, except for word of mouth and Google. Can’t wait to see what will happen after I do some advertising! If you are interested in booking a wedding, please book soon, so I can reserve a date for you! If you are in need of photos for a German CV or you would like to do business photos or have a portrait sitting, I’ll be doing a few coming up in the next few weeks. If you are interested, please send me an email or give me a call to book a time!

Officially registered photographer!
I went to the Handwerkskammer this morning… I talked with the clerk, he entered the last details of my information into the system that were not there yet, I paid my trade fee, then chatted with the clerk some more (he gave me some good advice and we talked about the US as his wife is an American) and then I got my trade card! I am now an officially registered photographer!
I am still waiting on paperwork from the Finanzamt that I will have to fill out before I get my tax number. I also found out today that I need to contact the “Berufsgenossenschaft” to see if I am required to get accident insurance from them (I was told they normally should have contacted me already). After those things I should be done with the paperwork side of things. I still have some work to do with getting a logo made and designing business cards and then I can start advertising. I hope to get that stuff done soon! It has definitely not been boring trying to start a new business!

That’s easy!
Wow, that was easy! This morning I went in to the local government offices to finally apply for a business licence. I handed over the paperwork and my passport and explained that I was unsure if I had everything I needed and if I was even supposed to go there first or maybe I should have gone somewhere else first. The lady working there took my paperwork while I was explaining this and while listening she started entering my info right away. She then said that I didn’t need to do anything before going there, in fact I don’t even have to go to the Handwerkskammer (Chamber of Trade) because they will be informed as well! The lady was done entering my information within a few minutes and she sent me to the register to pay. I went up, paid the fee and now I have my business license!
So, I am one step closer to being a professional photographer in Germany!!

Big changes coming soon!
There will be some changes coming soon! The biggest one is that I have a new domain and I’ll soon have a new website! www.hepler.org will be my private website and I will move the blog and my portfolio over to the new website. I have been slowly working on this on and off for the last couple of months, but I have now taken a big step. It will still be a bit before I am completely ready to “go live” with the new site as I have lots of things coming up, including a wedding tomorrow!

Karsten and Irina's Wedding
I have finally finished with Karsten and Irina’s Wedding pictures! I was able to give them most pictures already, but I still have a few things to finish up before I can concentrate 100% on the next batch of pictures that I have already started working on (there will be a sneak preview on those probably some time in the next week!)
Here are some of the highlights! Â

David at work…
Here are a few pics of me at the last wedding taken by my second shooter and friend who jumped in literally at the last second to help (thanks again Sai!). I had free range to go anywhere I wanted so I was up on stage for the better part of the ceremony. I was hiding behind the alter for a bit though, so I was glad that Sai was able to get one shot of me on stage when I came out of hiding!
