Foto- & Videograf Erik Heißig

Hi, I’m Erik — a freelance photographer & videographer who loves capturing real moments. My primary focus is on weddings, family shoots and newborn photography: from maternity sessions to newborn portraits and emotional wedding reports, I accompany your important life chapters with patience, empathy and attention to detail. My approach is relaxed and natural. Instead of stiff instructions I look for genuine moments, whether it’s a laughing child, a quiet exchange between partners or the little details at a wedding. All sessions are designed so you feel comfortable: I guide you calmly through the shoot, work child-friendly during family sessions and take as much time as needed. I deliver professionally edited images — usually within 7 days — and include all desired shots so you don’t have to choose between memories. Application Photos & Business Portraits — an additional offer Although my main work is weddings and family photography, I also offer application photos, business portraits and professional LinkedIn/Xing profile images. These are created in the same natural style: clear composition, warm tones and portraits that reflect your personality and professionalism. Perfect for job applications, online profiles or company presentations when you want authentic, approachable images without stiff studio vibes. How I work with clients We’ll discuss your goals before the shoot — classic, modern or a more personal look. We can use my studio in Brehna (near Köthen) or a location that fits your image. During the session I give simple guidance on pose and expression so relaxed, confident photos emerge. I use reliable gear (I love my Sony cameras) and professionally retouch the images to enhance the final result. Why choose me - Natural, authentic portraits instead of posed shots - Experience with families and weddings; calm, patient work with children and newborns - All images included and fast delivery (usually within 7 days) - Flexible scheduling across the Magdeburg–Harz–Leipzig triangle If you value genuine family and wedding photography and also need a professional application or business portrait, get in touch. I’d love to create images that tell your story.
