Martin and I met in Germany and dated six months before we got married - just the two of us and quite spontaneous. A month later we moved to Charleston thanks to an incredible job offer we couldn't turn down.
Fun fact: I - Franzi - got married in a black cocktail dress which we returned minutes after our 'I do's' and guess what, we didn't take a single picture of us as a couple.
It all started with a job offer abroad and our love for exploring the world
a little of our story
Hi, we are Franzi & Martin
I'm Martin, the newest full-time member of Franzi Annika Photography. After several years in the automotive industry, I decided it is time for a change. The choice was quite easy. I always liked photography and love to work with my fabulous wife (no, she did not make me say that). Additionally, I can still do 'boring' office stuff what an Economics major naturally enjoys. As an introvert, I usually let Franzi do the talking, but you will realize that pretty fast.
I'm living the dream

Behind the lens
I'm Franzi, a photographer, former real estate manager and a girl who can’t imagine life without German chocolate. When Martin and I moved to the US, I kind of got into the photography business by accident. I've never held a professional camera in my hands before nor did I have any interest in photographing or becoming a business owner.
This being said, I wouldn't be a photographer if it wasn't for Martin. His endless support, creativity and love has inspired me to start a new career from scratch and I couldn't be more thankful for him and the life we build together.
I never dreamed of becoming a business owner overseas...
