Hello! My name is Duo Chen, a Fine Art wedding photographer in Berlin & Europe. I live in Berlin with my puppy Coco Crispy and my dear husband Sean. I have over 7 years of experience shooting weddings, civil ceremonies, couples, and portraits across Europe. It's a pleasure to meet you!

My photography inspiration mainly comes from the realist and impressionist painting styles of 18th–19th century France and Italy, as well as other Renaissance art influences. My style is elegant, bright, airy, timeless, yet never outdated.

What matters most to me is the client’s experience. I pay close attention to your emotions, take your expectations into account, and gently guide your poses with patience. I hope that in the end, you not only take home unique photographs, but also unforgettable memories from your destination shoot.

    “If you're looking for more than just a photographer, Duo is the perfect choice. From our first conversation, she became an invaluable partner in planning my secret proposal. Duo didn’t just take photos—she helped with every detail, from suggesting locations and discussing the pros and cons of each to sharing invaluable tips from her extensive experience. Duo went above and beyond, she not only captured stunning photos but also arranged for someone to record a video, a thoughtful touch that wasn’t part of the original plan. Her dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail made our special moment truly unforgettable. I highly recommend Duo to anyone looking for a photographer who is worth every penny.”

    “This was a really enjoyable experience. Throughout the photoshoot, Duo was very patient, she directed us so we could be confortable and natural. She found quiet locations where we didn’t have be embarrassed because of random passer-by, but that still allowed us to make the most of the pretty backgrounds Berlin has to offer. Duo also took the time to show us the pictures she shot as we were progressing. As a result, we could be aware of our best angles and if our posture needed to be corrected for the next shots. This immediate feedback and the constant effort to co”mmunicate were for me major highlights. It helped me feel at ease. We received the edited photos very quickly, which showed us how dedicated Duo was to her job.

    “Duo is an amazing artist! I’ve done other photo sessions via Airbnb before but especially loved this one. Duo is attentive (she checked the weather before hand and helped us find a date that was sunny), she made us super comfortable and gave us a lot of direction to try different poses (I love how she sent so many pictures from us to choose from), she’s speedy (she had the proofs ready for us to via within hours), she has a great eye for artistry (we will definitely use one of the photos for our holiday card). The location she chose was quiet, pretty, and had the option for indoor/ outdoor photography… I loved the shots in nature and in an art museum. Overall, we had a wonderful time and highly recommend Duo!”

    “A huge thank you to Duo for the amazing baby bump photoshoot she did for my sister! From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional.

    Her attention to detail and creativity truly brought out the beauty of this special moment. The photos turned out absolutely stunning—natural, elegant, and full of emotion. Duo has a wonderful talent for capturing memories in the most heartfelt way.

    I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you, Duo, for your incredible work and for making this experience so memorable for my sister and our family!”
