Can’t believe how magical Rottenberg is!!🎄💕✨
Nice video! I love it super a lot !I like this video a lot! Really nice timing to watch Xmas topic videos now, I’m in the Xmas mood already. I was there before not the Xmas season , this is so beautiful! And I like the knowledge sharing part, very interesting to know those fairy tales are actually from Germany and also Harry Potter also photo some part there etc! your camera storytelling is very good!
The moments captured, the transitions between scenes, the storytelling, everything at its best!
Amazing!! Like your work!
Nice video 👍
