Ruiguophoto

Ruiguophoto (Rui "Ricky" Guo) is based in Cologne and is known for sensitive wedding, engagement, portrait and family photography. With more than 15 years of experience, Rui tells moving visual stories and accompanies couples and families through their most important moments with heart and feeling. As a professionally trained photographer and creative visual artist, he favours natural, light-driven imagery. Maternity photography is offered as a thoughtful addition to his main services: Rui occasionally photographs babybauch shoots and pregnancy sessions for expectant parents seeking authentic, natural memories. His approach focuses on storytelling rather than heavy studio staging — gentle available light, pared-back compositions and intimate captures that reflect anticipation and connection. In a babybauch session Rui creates a calm, comfortable atmosphere where genuine moments can unfold. Rui’s process is personal and relaxed: before the shoot he discusses your wishes, suggests locations (outdoor spots in Cologne, Bonn, Düsseldorf and across NRW) and clarifies the desired mood. On location he works quietly and respectfully, giving simple guidance while leaving room for spontaneity — resulting in pregnancy photos that feel real and timeless. His love for natural-light portraits deeply influences the look and mood of his maternity work. Why choose a babybauch shoot with Ruiguophoto: Rui combines technical skill with a poetic view of memories — he calls photos “time machines” that bring back feelings years later. While his primary focus remains weddings, engagements, portraits and family work, he applies the same care and passion to every maternity session. If you are planning a babybauch shoot in Cologne or nearby and value a natural, empathetic approach, Rui is happy to arrange a consultation to plan the style, location and atmosphere for your pregnancy photos.
