Photography services

The catalogue is deliberately not identical in both languages, because the two audiences are here for different reasons. Someone searching in German lives here: an application photograph before applying, a christening, a first day of school in August, a leavers’ ball in June, a registry office slot on a Friday morning. Someone searching in English is coming to Germany — a destination wedding, a honeymoon, an hour in a city they are visiting.

So four services exist only in German and three only in English. A page that exists in one language emits no hreflang alternate for the other either: pointing at a URL that does not exist is worse than pointing at nothing.

Every service states a starting price, a duration and a number of edited photographs, and all three are undertakings rather than estimates. Anything that can move the price — a longer session, a second photographer, express delivery — is priced beforehand. Third-party costs such as admissions and permit fees are itemised separately rather than disappearing into a flat rate.

Most services are available in all twelve places, but not every combination has a page of its own. A page for one service in one place exists when there is something location-specific to write about it — which spot, which hour, which permit. Otherwise the service page gets you to an answer faster.
