We built this fire

Hamburg, Germany

Some love stories don’t follow a script. They’re messy, raw, and unapologetically real. Lorelai and Steffen’s story isn’t about perfection—it’s about freedom.

Freedom to be exactly who they are, in all their contrasts and complexities, while creating a life that feels as bold and beautiful as they are.

Their beginning wasn’t out of a fairytale—it was real life. Two people, both rebuilding, both carrying their own histories, and yet somehow finding something extraordinary in the midst of it all.

The hotel room became their little sanctuary. It wasn’t about the walls or the furniture—it was about the way they existed within it. The way Steffen reached for Lorelai’s hand without thinking. The way her laugh filled the quiet corners.
